Kevin De Bruyne | Appreciation thread

[Mifred]

Well put

Par for the course

 

[Eccles Blue]

I keep thinking the club are going to turn round and say ha ha just been having you on, he’s staying! However I know it’s just a daydream and he will be gone this time next week.
:-( :-(

I thought our support at Wembley was poor, but my god 3 days later we really made up for it. The support all night for KDB was marvellous, and the fact that just about the whole ground stayed, especially at a night game, was exceptional. Well done everyone.

What he said.

Great night, proud to be Blue.

 

[pauls]

Scouse Gonzo and crackhead merson called it

Egged on by that smarmy twat Stelling !

 

[BringBackSwales]

What he said.

Great night, proud to be Blue.

Something else that showed the true class of our support was the applause for Raheem when he came on the big screen, not booing just appreciative applause, take note you feral classless scouse cunts

 

[BringBackSwales]

How the fuck Kev kept dry eyed when his 3 lovely kids gave those tributes to their dad on the big screen is beyond me. Best I get from my 2 is thanks for buying my season ticket dad. As for the bloke in front of me singing Oh Mrs De Bruyne, not arf

 

[BringBackSwales]

A question, so many people saying that Kev’s legs have gone - out of interest what are his running stats over say the last 2 months in comparison to the rest of the team? Has anyone got them? To my eyes he seems to have been running as much as anyone else in the team but I don’t know what the stats say?

His kids will have been born in Cheshire mate.

You're more than likely right but it was Kev that mentioned that all of his kids were born in Manchester.

At least he didn't say Trafford though.

Colin will always be "The" King.

Not for me Cleavs.

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

Go and watch the last 2 games and count how many passes he made to the opponent's players and give it away
One at Wembley was only 2 yards away, You can count on one hand the number of sloppy passes he's made over the years,

KDB set the BAR on passes and assists in the Premier League, never mind at Manchester City
It's Painful to see a great player going through it, that once great mind that could see a pass and his foot delivered the ball on a plate in a flash has gone,

It's not his fitness or match fitness or willingness to fight that is questioned, it's the ability to produce the magic pass or the assists that win games over a season,

I would say he was 1 in 3 games, 100% going to find a pass or an assist that won the game, now it's 1 in 10
sadly You can not win titles and cups with that ratio in this City starting 11

Did you watch last night?

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

They haven't completely gone but they gone to the point where he can't do what makes him great as often.

If you watch his crossing, it's still good but only when he's given time and space to do so. He doesn't have the legs to create that yard for a cross on his own anymore.

He did last night

 

[Stoned Rose]

Just watched all the tribute videos on the OS.

The man is universally respected and loved amongst other top footballers. That says everything.

An absolute god in my eyes.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Best player I have ever seen wear the shirt, and I saw King Colin and cried the day he made his comeback…but Kevin was better.

Too bad both their careers were cut short by injuries.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Can't believe we made the stubborn, stoic fucker cry. Love him.

 

[Marvin.]

Best night of the season. Sad but also mellow because we can all look back with huge pride.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Kev nearly made me cry last night, plenty round us the same. Sad night. 10 years have gone in a flash.

 

[Mike N]

Fantastic effort from the club and the fans last night.

If you’re reading this Natalie, you did us proud.

 

[Jezza11]

The best player this leagues seen, not just City. So many times over the years when we needed something he’s just sorted it himself. No bother off the pitch he’s been a asset to the club and a pleasure to watch. Cheers Kev. Long live the King

 

[supercity88]

In my opinion our greatest ever player and I thought the fans and club put on a fitting tribute to him. A very emotional night.

 

[crystal_mais]

What a great send off, just wished he'd of buried that chance and would of been the icing on the cake. Anyway doesn't matter - he's up there as being one of the if not the greatest to have worn our shirt. Was good to see the majority of the fans stay behind.
