Exactly mate, it's ludicrous. They don't even come up with these opinions from watching them play regularly but, instead, just make up any old drivel to suit their agendas or feed their egos. I'm not against criticism but it's ignorant criticism that annoys me yet their getting paid good money to express it.

Chris Sutton will be the next City hater,re; Leroy Sane in partc.

Heard him two weeks ago on some radio station.two other pundits were saying how Sane is the child of a footballing father and a gymnast mother...and as a result the player shows wonderful balance and composure due to his mothers genes...
Sutton burst out laughing at this point and said in a sneering voice" I don't think his mum being a gymnast has got anything to do with how he plays football"
Now of course,we can see the players fleet footed movement coupled with wonderful balance...just watch Sutton this season,see if he accepts he was wrong...

That's an insult to daft cunts, many of whom go through life putting in an honest days work and without invading the aural privacy of others.

I'm with Aguero on this one. Calling Dunphy daft is making sound harmless and almost cuddly.
He's everything Aguero has described him as and vile bile filled bitter journeyman. Not even a has been but a never has been, who gets away with openly declaring his hate for City and pushing his own agenda of belittling us no matter who he's commenting on.

You want to hear the stuff he said about Pep as well, which is rightly being stuffed down his neck already.

He gets away with this shit getting paid big bucks on RTE out of my licence fee.

The man's a **** of the highest order.

We're derailing the gravy train and making all the pundits who backed the rags at the start of the season look like cunts. It's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better

I remember the ridiculous Lipman talking about Aguerro. And to think that herbert gets paid to have an opinion on football!

To be fair, I think most would agree Aguerro was a complete failure.

Serves us right trying to get him cheap at that knock-off market in Madrid.
 
So many similarities to zidane, the way he slows down, does the step overs and accelerates, it's uncanny.

The delivery of the pass also, absolutely effortless

Worth paying the season ticket just to watch him play

Zidane never had the goalscoring threat KDB has, although he did a better job of dictating a game and from a crazily high position in an era in which most playmakers were moved deep due to holding midfield being flooded with bodies. Different players tbh, I think Platini *spits* or Baggio (when he played deeper) is the comparison you're looking for.
 
Anyone got a video of that journalist that was saying Kun was a bad buy? Could do with a good laugh.

And? Anyone who's watched Kev knows he can have a shit game and still get an assist from one good delivery at a set piece. Conversely he didn't get any stat for setting up Iheanacho and Sterlings goals yesterday but it was brilliant play.



I'm not sure how anyone who watched those first few games can say he wasn't off it.

He was clearly struggling to adapt to the new position and style and even said himself he sometimes didn't know where or when to run.

The international break obviously helped him assimilate the ideas and now he's better than ever, but he wasn't comfortable in the first couple of games.

Again this is a relative error. If most of our players are hitting 9-10s but DeBryune was hitting a 7. In relative terms he was poor compared to Silva and Fernandihno for example. But in absolute terms he wasnt poor. The point the guy I responded to was making was that he still had assists ( I.e was still being productive) even in a subdued performance in comparison to Silva in the games people deemed he was poor.

I pointed out then that once he starts scoring it will become academic.

Take Sunderland for example:A game in which Silva dominated aesthetically. But when you parse the stats you see Kevin albeit clearly inferior to David in that game actually wasn't poor. Yes his movements were labored and his combination play on the right with Sterling was nothing comparable to Silva's instant chemistry with Nolito. But when you look at chances created, key passes made shots on goal you find that Kev actually was quite involved.

tTo be fair I see more of Pavel Neved when I watch Kev. Both are intensely driven towards what's functionally required to win.
 
De Bruyne's sudden superform got me puzzled. After seeing him struggle with Belgium as well I was really convinced that he just wasn't suited for that playmaker role, he looked too nervous in posessions, sloppy passing, strange decisions etc. Even v Cyprus (last international game of the break) he was virtually nowhere. But now all of the sudden, without Silva, which means De Bruyne is even more the playmaker now, he does this v United & Bournemouth ... Magnificent stuff, let's hope a Silva return will not unsettle him again.
 
Watching a couple of games on you-tube, left the room as I came back in the KDB song was being sung just after he scored and it sounded like Oh Kevin De Bruynerr, bet that feels like a kick in the groinerr. Might be me but it does seem more aesthetically pleasing.

Oh yeah, that's true, Silva still played in that one!! Says enough that I didn't even remember ...
Okay so it's all in his own head then? 8, 10 or even 9 doesn't even matter anymore? Brilliant, let's hope he can keep it up. One thing is for sure, this De Bruyne definitely belongs in the center, no point in banning him to the wings like Pellers tried a number of times last season.
