Played well but not a fan of him being out wide. Needs must to win some trophies this season but hopefully pep has him plying more centrally next season
I think he's more effective out wide. I remember the Newcastle game when he played centrally and we were awful. When Navas came on and Silva moved to the centre with KDB to the left, we looked much better and battered them.

First half we had no width though. Silva isn't a winger & Sterling cuts inside more often than not. I'd argue Navas coming on had a bigger effect in that match than KdB going out wide. For example the Everton match (0-0) we had him out wide first half & were poor; 2nd half we switched him to centre with Sterling/Navas as wide men & we were far, far better. I'm in the Silva/KdB are best central camp (hence we're better with 1 on the pitch IMO).I think he's more effective out wide. I remember the Newcastle game when he played centrally and we were awful.

I'd largely agree though i think KDB is more suited to playing wide than Silva. I'd rather have Navas and Sterling or KDB wide with Silva central.
Made me chuckle aswell

Zabba seemed to be keeping an eye on him and getting a bit more out of him, he was getting closer to opponents closing down
The third goal was an excellent team goal top quality from all involved

On the peripheral yesterday but always a threat, another assist and he's had a superb first year for us.

I noticed Zab clapping his hands and shouting some encouraging words to Kev when they teamed up to snuff out an attack down our right side which resulted in a corner for Palace.Zabba seemed to be keeping an eye on him and getting a bit more out of him, he was getting closer to opponents closing down

He was applauding KDB's effort to close down the other man down our right flank. KDB sprinted 40 yards to help Zabba.

Interesting little vignette from the game on Saturday. We get awarded a free kick just outside the palace area. Kev immediately grabs the ball and places it. Yaya strolls over. Neither player talks to each other. Kev hangs around for a few seconds and then wanders off looking a bit sulky. Yaya smacks the ball into the palace wall.
I was watching Kev practice free kicks from exactly the same position before the game. Every one hit with that flat spin which makes the ball dip late. Beautiful to behold. It's time Manuel bit the bullet and made him our no 1 offensive free kick taker.

DeBryune is a producer, I know a lot folks here have soured on him. But personally I'd start him in every game. He simply produces. Not as flashy, not as fluid, often mistake prone. But produces consistently
One of the 1st name on my sheet every game. My sheet will go:
Hart ( Indisputable #1)
Aguero (There is none other)
DeBryune (No one creates more)
Otamendi (DeBryune of defending)
Silva (Paces the offense)
Fernandihno (Paces the defense)
That leaves 5 spots up for grabs. And I'll let tactics, and opponents determine who those 5 are.
