Kevin de Bruyne

He really is a good passer, but with a cross like his, I think he simply must be a winger. There shouldn't be any more talk about him playing deep and playing centrally behind the striker should stay just an alternate position for him IMO.

Xabi Alonso got an amazing cross to, but at this moment his best positions are indeed winger and 10, but could be pretty good in the pivot against weaker teams

Alonso has no pace so the comparison is void. A player with pace and the ability to cross will always be favoured on the wing, unless theres better options.

I agree! But we have quite good wingers at the moment. I'm just saying if we go full out attack like when we are 0-1 behind against a weak team we could have:

------------Eto------------

Eddy---Mata---William/schrulle

----Oscar----De bruyne

KDB and Witsel, pure worldclass.

KDB won us the match, once again (he's involved in half of our goals so far this campaign).

Witsel didn't lose a ball once, even with 3 scotsmen around him, he still managed to simply make some space and pass the ball around. Could do well in any team.

Fellaini had some bad luck getting a yellow card, injustified, making him a bit too cautious. Started great first 20 minutes.

Should've wanted Hazard to start though :-)

Defensively that isnt so great. It has to be Oscar or De Bruyne along with Ramires / Mikel. There are no weak teams in the League......other than Tottenham lol.

People keep going on about Oscar being moved to the pivot, if any of our six AM's do (not saying they will, but if any of them do) i would put money on it being this guy.

I disagree.

On the first 45 minutes, he was often the most advanced player behind Benteke.

When Scotland were losing the balls, he was already quite high on the pitch, like on the Defour goal.

He could maybe play in a three man midfield with only one defensive midfielder but I don't see him playing in the pivot or he would need lots of defensive and tactical work.

I don't see it, when he plays he's more an instinctive player who is not asking himself many questions.
