Kevin De Bruyne

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 6:15 pm

As well as being very skillful he also works very hard and covers a lot of the pitch, appearing in all areas.

Something that not all talented are prepared to do.

Seriously class. Was everywhere picking the ball up and trying to unlock a brilliant defense.

Superb footballer and the right attitude.

Does anybody else think he has a look of Prince Harry?

Yes...that apart one of the best opposition players I've seen play at turf moor. Great player And a great attitude on the pitch.

More a hint of James Hewitt,perhaps? But a seriously too notch player.

Class player. Really impressive.

He was recently quoted in L'equipe as saying:

'I would swap all my talent and every Euro of my earnings just to have one brown hair.

His passing is something else.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 6:41 pm

I thought we coped with him alright today. (He normally lays 4 or 5 clear chances on a plate for his team)

He created from his short corners but I would of took that before the game.

I thought City were slick throughout and at times I was just waiting for the second goal. A joy to watch.

A point gained for us, they will play worse and batter someone. That someone though, won't have the bollo cks that Burnley do.

That's why we leave games like this with a point and/or our heads held high and others don't.

Week on week, those bleak days watching Biggins, Jones, Lawrence et al become more and more worth the bother.

Cheers Burnley.

Best player on the pitch after gudmonsson Lowton and Ben mee

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 7:39 pm

He controlled everything, all over the pitch. Outstanding player of the season.

BFCmaj · Post by **BFCmaj** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 7:43 pm

He just seemed to be everywhere and it all looked effortless.

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 7:57 pm

Quality.

Chelsea let him leave. Bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. Was it Jose in charge?

He was the best Kevin in the 110 Club after the game.

Wasn't KDB on Chelsea's books under Mourinho,another let go as not special enough by the unspecial one.

Deardeary · Post by **Deardeary** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 8:38 pm

This boy is the best in the world in that position, makes our performance today more remarkable, pleasure to watch him today, thanks Pep for not benching him like last time

hampsteadclaret · Post by **hampsteadclaret** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 8:43 pm

This season's 'Footballer of the Year' without a doubt.. what a player.. nice polite modest guy as well...and we are playing against this sort of footballer..

Enjoy it while we have it..

jjclaret · Post by **jjclaret** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 8:47 pm

I think he was outstanding today, but at the end he, and quite a few other City players, looked knackered. It shows how far we have come when we can take what the best in the league can chuck at us and still be going strong at the death.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 9:20 pm

Yes without doubt a top player. His vision to pick out a pass is something else. It's a great time to be involved as a supporter watching players like him at the Turf. Just shows far have we have come.

Baby faced assassin - finds space all over the pitch and what a range of passing.

One of the world's best

MrClaretandBlue · Post by **MrClaretandBlue** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 9:34 pm

In the future when people ask Scholes, Gerrard or Lampard? The answer will be Kevin De Bruyne.

Claretitus · Post by **Claretitus** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 9:43 pm

Absolute class act. His passing today was exquisite. The ball inside Charlie Taylor to set up the chance for Sterlings miss of the season was sensational. I was at the Etihad earlier this season, and he was probably better that day than today. Absolute shoe in for Football Writers Player of The Year.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 10:10 pm

One of the best players ever to grace the PL.
If not the best.

TractorFace · Post by **TractorFace** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 10:20 pm

He's one of the best players I've seen in the Prem. I could watch a player of his quality all day.

tim_noone · Post by **tim_noone** » Sat Feb 03, 2018 10:33 pm

Every time he got the ball ...I said oh sh!t. Every time!!! He covered all positions today except for the goals.as I've said the best player I've ever seen at turf moor.

Brady's replacement, cheeky bid in August!!!

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 5:14 am

Agree with all above......BEST player in the league!
And he's not diving around all over the place......Maybe that's why Mourinho got rid!

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 9:17 am

I couldn't resist adding my praise.
Football fans don't mind watching quality, even if its the opposition.
KDB is the best I've ever seen, because it's all effortless.
He played one ball down the touchline of JH stand that just stood up and waited for the City player when it landed. Me and my lad just looked at each other wide eyed.

UpTheClaretsFCBK · Post by **UpTheClaretsFCBK** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 10:36 am

Don’t think he showed his best yesterday.

Looked to be sulking second half as they struggled to get the second goal.

TractorFace · Post by **TractorFace** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 4:57 pm

Yeah, that's because he's that kind of player. A right sulker.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 5:23 pm

Crazy to think Chelsea had De Bruyne and Salah and let both go without a chance.

And Lukaku

And Matic who they sold for £1m and bought back for £20m....thought to be fair they then sold him for £40m to United !

How many of these missed opportunities involved the "special one" I wonder ?

Goodclaret · Post by **Goodclaret** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 5:39 pm

Absolute class and feel privileged to have seen him a few times now. Even better that our fantastic team made sure he didn't absolutely destroy us as he has other teams this season!

Shows you can be class on and off the field too, seems a really good lad. Take note Alli!

He`s played better this season but was still the best player on the pitch yesterday by a distance for me.
Did not see any sign whatsoever of him sulking - quite the opposite intact as I think he is a real team player who covers more distance on the pitch than I realised.

Every time he got the ball there was an air of anticipation amongst home and away fans that something was going to happen.

Dy1geo · Post by **Dy1geo** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 5:56 pm

Thought De Bruyne was class yesterday. We were discussing the best opposition midfielder performances against us while in Premier League, we got Fabregas Arsenal cameo, Gerrard Liverpool Modric Tottenham from first season. Fabregas Chelsea from Second, Ericsson Tottenham from last year and De Bruyne yesterday.

You find me a talented player who doesn't work very hard and cover the pitch and I'll find you one who isn't playing anywhere near the top flight.
