Kevin De Bruyne - 2017/18 performances

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Put him at DM and the Silvas ahead of him... Sane left and Sterling right of one of the Strikers an lets go win a game. I'm tired of the slow buildups from the back.

Exactly how I'd set up... his hustle is now good enough to play the role and he's the only guy outside of yaya who can orchestrate from deep!

From a ridiculously productive #10 to a defensive midfielder?

We could just play Yaya!

KDB did work well, had a very satisfying tackle on shrek to break up a counter - but I'd still prefer to see him further forward where he can put in those passes which get him so many assists.

No a deep midfielder, Pirlo would hardly be described as a defensive midfielder.

Its a waste of his talent playing him in that role. He should only be used there in desperate situations where the team is looking for a goal and have to throw as many attackers on as possible

+1
KDB is an attacking midfielder who regularly scores - he shouldn't play deep.

Toure is our best deep midfielder if we're attacking followed by Gundogan Danillo and Fernandinho.

Thoughts on this? Apparently the SS was groaning that he chose not to shoot. Happened in the 42nd minute.



Is it a chance? Keeper miles outside his goal, 20 yards out?

I think saying he should have scored is too harsh but perhaps a sign of his lack of confidence in front of goal that he chose not to shoot at an open goal?

For someone like KDB that is definitely a chance he'd not usually pass up on. Was baffled by that at the game. He's 100% shooting there two years ago.

If his first touch would have been better I'm sure that he'd shoot. Now it landed close to him and his left foot so he couldnt have got any power to it.

Fair enouth. But we just need a little more energy and directness than what we are getting currently :(
