Have we verified if his goal was a fluke or not?

He miskicked it, defintely a fluke. Martial's goal on the other hand was world class.

I've believed for a very long time. I'd already been a fan going into the World Cup last summer, but I knew from the minute he turned the US inside out that I wanted City to have him. He's a special player and I'm still so excited we managed to pull off signing him. World class.

I like him being understated and honest in his interviews,i find it refreshing,he's just a quiet kid

I think that while Silva is a better footballer, able to control a game and dictate tempo, that De Bruyne is clearly more decisive and a match winner. His ability to make telling contributions so consistently is so so valuable.

Lucky for us we have BOTH!! :)

A fantastic footballer, naturally 2 footed with great awareness of players around him. You see players who are selfish and have all the skills but ultimately the better defenders can play them, Kevin will link up play, score goals and provide many assists. A very good signing who will improve into a truly great player.
Without all the fanfare.

The 2 footed thing is huge and often overlooked. It greatly diminishes a defender's ability to cut you out when you can go either way. Same with Kun. Many goals with his left foot, most notably the thunderbolt against Chelsea in 2013.

Fully agree. An absolute baller and for me already a more important player than Silva.

Lol!

The kid is not a big celebrater, he just claps his hands once if he scores and that's it. He is also very hard for himself and for his teammates, that's another reason why he doesn't look happy if he scores a winner. He is already thinking about the things he can do better next game, that's just how he is.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

He has a lot of Colin Bell about him.

I like the fact he seems a chilled out laid back ginger kid.
