I think it's fair enough to say that was his best performance in our shirt tonight.
I've never seen him dominate a game for 90 minutes like that.
Now here's the thing, and it's why signing De Bruyne is absolutely fucking crucial now. I can't put in words how important it is.
He was playing centrally tonight. By far and away his best position. I thought it was criminal that we used him on the left last year. Playing behind the striker, in 4-3-3, I'm absolutely genuine when I say he's as good as Iniesta and better than Xavi. Gets in a world 11 every single time.
De Bruyne will give the balance we need in a 4-3-3 and help bring the absolute best out of Spanish Dave.
He is going to be hitting his peak this season. If we use him properly, then just sit back blues. Soak it in. You may never see it again.
