Kevin de Bruyne

[Weckerz 3,781]

If he can consistently outshine Hazard than he can easily do the with same Willian & Schurrle. I rate him much higher than those 2

Thing is, different players thrive in different systems. This is Mourinho's Chelsea, not the Belgian NT.

KDB is more talented than Schurrle (not so sure about Willian), does that mean he'll play over Schurrle most of the time? No.

He'll have to adapt to what Mourinho wants from players on his position and work from there. He's strongwilled, I'm sure he'll force himself into the starting 11 eventually.

We'll see, i think hazard is the far better player but since you know KDB more than me, we'll see at the end of the season who's been the better player

He is the far beter player, but the problem is that KDB plays better for our nt

Kevin still has to prove alot here while hazard has to do the same in the belgian nt

He seems to me like the player that needs the team to centre around him. Is he?

I don't think that's really the case. Genk and Bremen obviously had to, as he's was by far their best player. But in general he's a player that helps others play better and help determine tempo. I think he can fit into Chelsea well and offer something different, because he is the only one together with Shurrle that really provides depth. And except for that he also is the only one, except for Lampard who isn't going to play every game I assume, who's actually good at indirect freekicks and corners.

He'll have his games, but I don't expect him to play the majority. He'll need to grow a little into the Premier league before he will be able to compete really and on fair footing to our other fantastic attacking midfielders.

Today would have been just his kind of game. Faster and more robust than both mata and Oscar and with higher workrate than both. He is also our only accurate crosser, effectively. I'd always pick him over Schürrle tbh.

They are different players but I can understand they both compete for the position on the right. Schurrle looks very good as well to be honest. Very composed, technically good, physical and direct. Would have like to see De Bruyne come on for him however. They should be kept in close competition and both get chances.

People talking about KDB, just shut up, please. After every single bad result people will talk about Lukaku and KDB. Wake up dudes, just wake up. This is PL.

He should go on a loan in January. His age and developing talent should be able to play every week. Just not at Chelsea atm, by the looks of it.

Ofcourse he isn't gonna play every week, we've got 6 players for 3 positions. He played vs Hull and Man United. Mata has barely played and you're complaining about KDB?

This may not be ideal for him, but he has to learn to cope with competition like this.

I understand you're a fan of KDB, as am I, you may even be right about a loanspell but this is a Chelsea board, with Chelsea fans. You give the impression you care more for KDB than the club. I'm sure there's plenty of threads on Belgian fora where you can vent your frustration =)

The difference is KDB has actually looked decent when he has played. Mata has been ass since the confederations cup.

Good Lord!

Telling people to shut up on a forum, genius!

Goals and assists are the curreny at the moment. The midfield are underperforming at the moment. Support the players on the pitch. KDB is a work in progress. There is an adjustment for any player to adapt to the speed and physical nature of the premier league.

Schurrle's looked average for me, pre-season and since the season started. Would prefer KDB down the right.

This is the thing with squad depth. When the team doesn't win, people will point to X and Y on the bench saying they could have done better.

Schurrle was fine. He was great against Bayern and that's why he got to start. Also, he would be up against Baines. Completely justified decision. KdB wouldn't dramatically alter the flow of the game.
