Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

[HelloCity]

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

Really? Yaya was the one driving us forward along with De Bruyne against West Ham. No idea where you've got lethargic from, unless you only saw the MOTD highlights. That, and I don't think Yaya will be losing his place to players that play a completely different position for us.

Neither KDB nor Silva will play CM.

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! ;-)

Not surprising because he never stops running in those 70 minutes.

Colin Bell ? this fucker is better than Platini
wallop

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Liked the way how he did a pivot like we've seen nasri do a billion times, except when nasri does it he usually turns around to the 270 degree mark and passes sideways or backwards whereas ginger kev went right round the full 60 at speed with intent, then moved forward and put a cross in. The guy looks to hurt teams all the time, and often does

I know we will line up as a formation,but I believe that when KDB,Silva and Sterling all start a match they will be given a free roam to be wherever they want,and that will work a treat,I mean he was all over the show v West Ham receiving and delivering from all over the middle/front positions,I can't wait

The trouble has always been when Silva gets injured we have problem. We tried it with Nasri who mostly put in half arsed attempts more often than not. But with KDB we have someone who can come in and simply replace SIlva like for like he offers another dimension to him. I was sceptical at first buying a Chelsea flop but he has proven that he is far from being a flop and will only get better along with Sterling at our club.

No it hasn't, and that's just not true.

Of course it's true. We've never been half the team without Silva. But this lad is not a Silva replacement or stand-in, he's a player who will comliment him beautifully. When we are full strength it is Nasri and Navas who won't make the team and that's a good thing. They can both still have rolls if they want to stay, from the bench and on the many occasions one of the attacking midfield three are rested are injured. The team that Pellegrini put out shows we want to compete on four fronts this year, and there will be lots of opportunties for all.

But De Bruyne goes straight on the teamsheet alongside Silva for the big ones. He's going to win us the league.

 

[jollylescott]

Pellegrini has quite a dilemma. He has potentially the best two number 10's in the league. Who he plays in that position will be fascinating to watch.

I would imagine they will rotate during a game. As long as they don't get in one another's' way!
