Kevin De Bruyne

Post by distortiondave » Sun Jan 14, 2024 1:07 am

I don't really like modern football all that much, but good dribbling and good passing is as good now as it was when Ted McMinn was doing it, but have you seen that pass for city's winner?

I know it's not exactly news that KDB is a good player, but he's a level above even that.

Back from injury…back into form…just in time for the game against the Clarets!

Brilliant pass & goal he scored.

That Bernardo Silva chap is okay too.

That game was already of a ridiculously high quality from both teams and the only thing that was going to get City a draw was a moment of even higher quality

Then De Bruyne pulled 2 of them out. Up there with the best we've seen in the Prem for me. Bobb's finish was delicious too!

If City win it this year is that 8 of the last 10? Starting to get a bit tedious and not very good for the PL "brand".

Starting? It's been tedious for many years already.

I'd agree with you. I know Klopp isn't popular on here but if it wasn't for him pushing City the league would have been as dull and one sided as the Bundesliga or Scottish league the last 10 years or so, apart from the Leicester freak season.

It’s been like watching your mate take Harrogate Town to the quadruple with an infinite transfer funds cheat on Championship manager.

Sure it looks impressive and you give him a half arsed ‘wow’ with faux surprise, but you still know that it’s all built on breaking the rules.

The nice part is Man City will never sheikh that stigma regardless of how many trophies they win.

I thought all the goals were excellent in that game.

When discussing the greatest Premier league era midfielders, you get the usual Scholes Lampard Gerrard discussion but for me KDB is another name on that list.

True, all we can hope for is that he will get injured in training so he becomes unavailable for selection against us.

Sadly I fear we'd need about 15 of their players to get injured in training for it to benefit us really.
