Fair play, I'm obviously a big KDB fan, but still some of his vision and passing I find mind blowing. I also acknowledge his weaknesses tbf, just refuse to mention them ;-)
I still can't get over his headed "assist" for Aguero away at Watford. It didn't actually lead to a goal, but it's an incredible bit of skill regardless.
Yeah, that one was something else too ... I think it's vision rather than skill though. Of course you need the skill to head or pass the ball exactly where you want it, but most top PL players should be capable of doing that IF INSTRUCTED, the point is most players won't see that option. KDB usually does. That's why for me his more of a football genius than a superskill player.I still can't get over his headed "assist" for Aguero away at Watford.

He's done this on several occasions now. His vision is utterly incredible and I know there is a whole lot more to come from him. Can't remember who we were playing but he dinked a little cross to the far post recently in a similar situation, and we scored, and it was the only option available. Home game about a month ago.
Can't remember the team but Kolarov scored it
It was Kolorov v Southampton

I clocked that as a piece of brilliance at the time - the way he cushions the header. What he has is that ability to play the game as though he's watching in the stand, and that's a good example. I haven't paid close enough attantion but I bet, like Lampard and Silva, his head is turning all round the pitch at all times as his brain takes in the positions of his team-mates. There's so much more to come from this guy as we integrate him better. I just know it.
