KDB's Pace

[Malty]

He's fecking Lightning ! He is the X factor piece that makes our counter attacking game work.

No coincidence our resurgence in form has coincided with his return.

Magic considering how it's his first season, our form has been shaky and Pellegrini's tactics are questionable. Love the kid, most expensive bargain ever.

Him and Kun seem to have a great telepathic understanding already ! Good signs =)

Watching him and Kun on the counter attack is magical !

He's world class but your eyes must not work if you think he's lightning

He's not lightning at all but he doesn't need to be because the rest of his game is so good.

 

[Jonsilfab]

He's so deadly on the counter. Brilliant player.

To quote the late great Johan Cruyff.

The sports press often confuses speed with insight. See, if I start running slightly earlier than someone else, I seem faster.

De Bruyne is not lightning, he is decently fast - but his reading of the game and the timing of his runs makes you think he's faster.

Agreed

He is such an intelligent player so has half a yard in his head

 

[Blueband Brother]

He is not lightening quick but he is powerful and pacy and that is key when it comes to switching from defense to offense and driving the ball forward, which is one of the most important things he brings to the team.

 

[Jumanji]

He's not fast at all, but he is quick enough.

What he does know, however, is when to run. If he gets the ball in a prime pocket of space, he can quickly judge if he can exploit it, and he knows if he can have enough time to do something great without before being closed down.

He just makes good judgments, really, and I can see why it can make him look lightning to you.

Add nasri to that list too

Seemed quicker today.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He's pretty quick when fully fit. Not up with the very quickest though.

 

[BlueMojito]

Chelsea fans must just wonder wtf, what might have been. KDB makes such a difference, just love the possibilities he gives us, on the break he makes anything seem possible.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

not lightening but clinical as fu** which makes him really really good, never looks for a useless sidepass

 

[kaz7]

No wonder Aloffs put up such a fight,best signing since sergio

Absolutely! His pace is all in the mind.

This. Nasri was amazing today and we've missed him a lot.

 

[dobingsdobber]

Not so much pace as the fact that he has a long stride, covers a lot of ground without expending a lot of energy

 

[jaiguruKun]

It's his speed of thought that makes him so great.
