That half time bit at the ground was painful

Sure. any team would miss KDB because he supplies so much when he's on form. He's one of the best playmakers and goal suppliers in the world. But doesn't take away that Julian has been weirdly absent in recent times. He's no Sergio.

He's scored 7 in his last 7 games and 20 in 24 at The Etihad

Would I be wrong to say KDB is better than Xavi and Iniesta?

Iniesta was a wonderful player, a bit above Kev imo

Burnley are limited as fuck.

We should be using this 2nd half to up the GD significantly.

Kovacic and it's not even close. Nunes is more flashy, but his passing, positioning and defensive contribution are much worse than Kovacic. Against Burnely or low table teams, Nunes is ahead though.

hmm, not even close i dont know, but yeah, we may agree on more reliable. Nunes could be special with time, still is young. If he improves few aspects like passing he may be special, maybe even on the wing

Yes but apart from that what has he ever done for us

Actually, that's more of the correct pronunciation.

Spoke to a Belgian who was local to him.

He said it's pronounced 'De Brun-nee-yer', not 'De Broi-ner'.

They literally asked Kev in his first interview with the club and then everyone ignored him. He pronounced it with more of an eurgh sound, like a zombie.

I like Nunes next to Rodri because he covers far more ground and can potentially take a lot of defensive workload off of the former.

Different players, neither can replicate the style of the other really. Better off comparing David Silva to them and he is just below them both just!

Write 5000 times;

"I must not slag our players off in their first season, I am a bit of a ****"

Really poor response to a well considered post.
