Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

[Ducado]

I hope someone is doing match comps of this guy.

My word I was at work and just floored during the first half (missed the second but felt pretty comfortable!). If he's not already the best player in our side, he's damn close to it.

World fucking class and worth double his transfer fee. Get Silva back, have Sterling relax a bit more and touch up his finishing, and have Aguero get back on form, and we'll be notching god damn fucking silly scores with those four starting.

World class.

Hi Ray ;-)

Damn that pass at 5:49 was lovely.

Watching that video and what stuck out to me most is how calm he is in possession, before even receiving a pass, he knows what to do, almost impossible to surprise him.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. He's unusual in that he plays urgently but without any stress - I think that will be a real bonus in big games, too.

Me thinks Silva might accept playing on the wide- From what I've seen so far De Bruyne is far less productive when he plays on the wing but in the middle he is gob smacking.

It's going to be a tough choice for Pellers to find a system to fit both players in. Both players are best when they are behind the striker. Maybe they can interchange positions during the match rather than being consigned to a position.

Fantastic player, to hit the ground running with so many good performances just goes to show how right we were to sign him.
Hopefully Silva can recover for Spurs, and these two can serve balls up on a plate for Sergio, and bury a few themselves!
Let's get back to winning ways in the Prem.
I wonder if Kev was glad not playing for Wolfsburg last night!

the guy is class, not seen a player settle in to the team as quickly as he has, it looks like he has been with us 2 or 3 seasons..

What a relief to know that we dont have to batter the merlin in every game game possible, we now have good rotation and im sure silva wil appreciate the odd rest or if he takes a knock being able to rest the following game rather than play on pain killers.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

When we were signing KDB a German fan said he was a 70 min player, runs out of steam. Much as I have loved KDBs performances I think this may be the case. He has not been as dominant towards the end of his two matches. Replace with Nasari for twenty minutes is not a bad option! ;-)

The weight on this lads passing is spot on every time, lovely player, will be one of the worlds best in time.

Big question is can he play on the pitch as the same time as silva? They both look pretty tidy behind the striker if you pushed one out onto the wing would you lose something?

De Bruyne looks like he can put a shift in defensively better than Silva can. The other big credit is without Dave our whole tempo and play drops dramatically, last few games we've thrown the kitchen sink at West Ham and put 4 past sunderland in 45 minutes.

He's world class, his goal was superb, but everything with him is direct, hugely impressed.

 

[Salford_Blue]

Everyone seems to think that Silva may be the one to miss out or move, which is absolutely ludicrous.

The one who has to watch himself is Yaya; unless he has a clause in his contract to say he plays unless injured.

Lethargic and completely off the pace on Saturday. Yes I know it was only one game, but without Dave to assist him, he was totally out of his comfort zone having to be the organist and monkey grinder
