Hazard: trickery, menace for defenders

KDB: excellent crosses and a cracking shot, wouldn't say Kevin has a LOT of trickery, he's very smart though and has a certain grace in his play you don't see often.

Playing him on the wings with 1 maestro benched might actually work well.

If you watch De Bruyne's highlights at Youtube you can see that he is able to do a lot of trickery. When it's appropriate in a game, he performs those tricks, but most of the time he sticks to a direct style of play, which isn't a bad thing. When it's time for gallery-play, he won't disappoint you, just watch him at youtube.

I think he's a little too aggressive with his play style to be a pivot player. Instead of asking him to tone it down and forcing him in the pivot, we should either use him as a CM in a 4-3-3 or one of the attacking 3 in the a 4-2-3-1. With a striker like Ba and hopefully Cavani or Falcao next season, his play style would be a great complement.

I don't need to watch highlights, I've watched him for years :)

I didn't say he hasn't got trickery, but compared to Hazard he's more a man of the perfect pass/cross rather than a player who beats defenders using trickery.

I partly agree, but I think in an advanced role, Kevin looses one his best assets: Accurate long balls. I believe he has the ability to dictate the tempo in almost any game.

KDB continuing his excellent form in yesterday's friendly against Osnabrück!

He scored the 0-1 and gave a beautiful assist for the 1-2!! He seems more than ready for the second part of the season!

Highlights of the game (KDB's goal at minute 4 and his assist a minute later)

He's better of at Bremen atm. He is simply too good not to play every week. just like Courtois playing every game in a strong league is great for his development.

Its not like we are blessed with a lot of talent in his position right now.He'd be starting every other game over here imo.

Only a friendly, but still: great goal and assist in his typical style. Hope he continues to evolve the way he is doing. I also believe that at least he would start regularly when at Chelsea next season. But he even could surprise us more.
