Player Topic: Kevin De Bruyne (2015/16)

If the defender hadn't been on the line the 'keeper would have just caught that shot with absolute ease.

Haha I'm assuming this is a joke.. Keeper didn't even move an inch.

He does, but I'm actually not too sure if the feeling's mutual ... Am I the only one who had the feeling that Silva was avoiding him a lot in his passing? Consequently, for me it also looked from time to time as if De Bruyne was running/feeling a bit out of place, bit like a tourist against his will. Still managed to knock in 2 goals and a semi assist though, brilliant stuff. But the connection with Silva imo can be worked upon alot.

Yes, you're the only one who would come up with the ridiculous notion that Silva would avoid passing to somebody. Silva makes the pass that is on at that moment in time, regardless of who it's to.

Extraordinary player, easily our best player this season, if he keeps performing like this, he should be a contender for PFA Player of the Year, he's scoring and assisting for fun, and he's done it even without Kun and Silva.

No chance, mate! Mike Smalling is already inked in.

No, Kippax is right about that free kick
. Keeper would have caught it but for the proximity of the defender. Maybe KDB spotted the gap and deliberarely steered it through the gap, I dont know but it doesn't matter because Kevin is, after all, ginger love.

I disagree, the one thing kippax didnt take into account was the speed of the ball, but i know Kev and he shoots very hard from that spot like a normal player would from the penalty spot. My oppinion is that the ball was too fast for the keeper or defender to stop and it did look like that in replay.

Neither was that defender there tot block his keeper, there was a reason for it that must have made soms sense, KDB freekicks are a woman tot defend from.

It moved in the air like a motherfucker as well. The defender on the line probably thought he was going to head it as it hurtled towards him but the swerve on it bamboozled him and he ended up just jumping and looking stupid.
It was a fantastic hit.

I personally thought the goalkeeper and defender both thought "the other has it covered". A goal is a goal.

I don't have that feeling. Silva is always looking for the best solution. When the gameplay is slow then KDB is not always the best choice. I think all the players love KDB. He has giving beautiful assist to Kun, Kolarov, etc... and he is not selfish. There is a place for Silva AND KDB in the team.

Basicly the question with the free kick boils down to wether it was luck or Skill. Im used to have to wonder that regarding the special ways Kdb often scores in, the answer tends to be that its Skill rather than luck. Or to put it differently, if all his goals of that nature would be luck, then well a lucky player is also good to have. ;)
