Kevin De Bruyne - 2017/18 performances

[Exeter Blue I am here]

If Kevin Debruyne had a fault last season then it was probably his occasional propensity to 'fanny dangle', to borrow from the book of Harry Bassett. To disappear when the going got tough, to shy away from tackles and responsibility, to let opponents run past him. He always had bucketfuls of talent, but there was an air of the dilettante about him at times.
This season he seems to have added a resilience and a whole new dimension to his game. I'd venture on the basis of the first 4 games he is currently the best player in the league bar none. Absolutely superb again today. Bursting with vitality and commitment

Classic,

Phenomenal today, I could tell the moment that ball left his foot his cross would result in a goal.

I know he's been and gone, but I would have loved to see dzeko on the end of some of his crosses.

I'm picturing Joe Royle and Kiddo lurking with intent, waiting for Kev to send in one of his laser guided crosses. They'd be like dogs with two sets of wotsits to lick.

with mendy and kdb our forwards need to pile in, infact get crouch he would break shearers goals record in one season :)

Just remember this is the guy so creatively talented that people aren't raving about Erikssen every day of the week

Dzeko or Negredo - imagine a first half of 2013/14 of Negredo in the squad right now?

Wow

Best player in the league at present, I'd say.

Total agreement, great to see him get stuck in

We've got a young lad in our u18s that I saw this morning before the game called Nabil Touaizi. So, so good. He's like some Dzeko/Negredo super confident throwback. If he's at the club still and progressing how he could he's gonna love KDB in three years time. Goals galore. I hope they're both still around.

He's got himself much fitter this season,he looks leaner and stronger,and it appears it's made a significant difference to his performances.
