This. However I expect KDB & Silva to float around & swap during matches anyway - which will hopefully suit both & be horrible for opposition defences. Silva to start central & KDB on the right as he's played there for a decent chunk of his career anyway, with lots of fluidity.Whilst I agree that, for De Bruyne, his best position is probably in a free role behind Aguero, I can't agree that would be the best place for him "for the team". City are extremely lucky in that, in my opinion, we've got the best player in World football when it comes to playing in the number 10 position, behind a lone striker, and that player is David Silva. If fit (or not being "rested") Silva should play that role. De Bruyne's time will come, 6 or so years younger than Silva, but for the time being De Bruyne is most likely to be on the right of an attacking formation.
I'm hoping he starts against juve regardless if silva and sterling are fit I would put him in over one of them leave nasri in the side and replace navas with silva or sterling depending on who would be less of a risk of getting injured again
He looked class this week and only having 2-3 days of training with the team it shows he is just a good player all round can't wait until he works out combination with the other 3 up front with him
Agree. Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne for me.i think it would be crazy to play Silva & KDB and leave someone with the pace and ability to run onto a ball like Sterling out of the side
Lots of talks here about where to put De Bruyne. Truth of the matter is, you can't actually "put" De Bruyne somewhere. He roams around like a free spirit. So if you want your wingers out wide, better not "put" De Bruyne there, because no matter what he will come inside frequently. He can't help it, he's attracted to the ball like bees to honey. It's not really modern football, but a free role in behind Aguëro is the best you can do for him, and for the team. (In my humble opinion)
Needs to be in the side. There is absolutely no reason to play Jesus fucking Navas against the defending runners up of Europe instead of KDB.
Didn't realise his 2nd name was "fucking", are his 3rd and 4th names "up" and "everything"
Is that actually a thing 'defending runners up?'Needs to be in the side. There is absolutely no reason to play Jesus fucking Navas against the defending runners up of Europe instead of KDB.
