MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Really interested to know when was the last time he went on a 3 games run without a goal or assist. Every single game I have seen/heard since December I heard he got a goal/assist. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddysHobby 60 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 So far KDB has provided 26 assists ... according to kicker.de- 18 in 27 Bundesliga matches (and 9 goals)- 2 in 3 DFB-Pokal matches- 6 in 10 Europa League matches (and 5 goals)That's 40 (assists or goals) in 40 matches.Edit: Misimovic provided 20 assists in 33 Bundesliga matches ... almost there, Kevin ParNolio7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 KDB is a counterattacking player, lol. KDB gives impossible passes that break the game open when it's completely locked. Ok, he can't dribble like Hazard and Messi, but his dribbling is still very good. But I wonder why Ribéry thinks he's a counterattacking player. Probably because he ruined Bayern with counters, but if you watch other games he does it also when Wolfsburg is the team in possession.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm I the only one who doesn't like that he has below 80% passes completed??It starts to get ugly when all those risky passes keep getting misplaced for long match spells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mueller (71%; a pass success percentage lower than that of KDB) isn't nearly as constructive as KDB while Bayern have the highest pass accuracy in the BuLi, Junuzovic's pass success percentage is even below 70%, etc.PS KDB's pass success percentage was over 80% in the EL and during the Brazil2014 campaign.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think KDB is a Mata type of player, but even more of a risk taker but also better athlete. He has limitations just like Mata where in some instances he would look poor while other times he'd look like the best player on the pitch. He just needs to find the best fit for him. Don't think he should come back to Chelsea. From all the top European teams, I reckon City would be the best fit for him as they don't ask much else of their attackers than just attacking. But then again you could argue, this is their downfall in cup competitions. Viper22, Barbara and Laugh1ngMan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laugh1ngMan 393 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 From Squawka: "No player in Europe's top 5 leagues has scored more goals on the counter-attack this season than Kevin de Bruyne (4)"A usefull stat for everyone who thinks he is not a counter-attack player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll obviously love some risky passes as long as we can press and collect it back when the pass is poor. But compared to midfielders in top teams in the Champions League, I'm struggling to remember who has below 80% possession (75% to be exact) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season we can judge KDB's performances in the Champions League ... I'm betting his pass success percentage will be over 80%.IMAO the solidity fetish is reaching perverse levels 11Drogba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Luckily their team attackers don't defend, so they score and get scored against. The day it doesn't work, they collapse like against Napoli, the day it comes off they beat bayern 4-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
