Kevin de Bruyne

Freakin man city and their luck....

2 CL games in a row...

Great goal by KDB..

Seems they don't play possession football without Silva anymore.

Let them be lucky, they still won´t win it tough, let them dream, it takes a lot more to win it even with an expensive squad and quality players, they aren´t even close to the level we produced in this competition these past 11 years, they don´t have that it factor, we´ll see how they progress but it will take a lot of time and patience. Do i wan´t do to see City doing well? of course not.

Really shocking tbh that a team like City plays counter football.

I think the signing of KDB really changed the tactics of City (or silva's constant injuries)

[zolayes 14,489]

what was impressive was his work rate ,,allied with technique ,, still we don't need him

[johnnythefirst 1,076]

isn't kompany injured?

He was injured, but was fit for the international break. Played 60 minutes against Israel, and that apparently infuriated Pelegrini.

I don´t think it´s shocking, many teams do it and if it suits their playing style then so be it, it depends a lot on the game and a team must adapt to the situation and do what is required to get the result, that´s what Mourinho mostly does and get´s results no matter what team he has at his disposal and yet he gets bashed for it while others get praised, that´s the big difference. Hypocrisy at it´s best.

If you used both eyes you would see that Mourinho has given away much better players than he has bought or kept .. First time round he inherited a great team from Ranieri.

this time has been a disaster

I have just seen the goal, magical stuff.

He is like an ex, we parted ways and with the new partner all things work out.
It's one of the most difficult things in life, but we have to or at least should accept his departure and life will continue.
Kevin de Bruyne seems to be a good catalyzer, where is the Robben moaning thread?!

I'm happy for Kevin, he deserves to be happy and have a successful career and life.
I had my problems with Fernando Torres, but i wish all the EX players only the best.

Cheers.

I am talking about his transfer dealings ,, is that too hard for you to understand..

[lucio 5,418]

Maybe lewis baker could become a similar player. ( I know it sounds dumb) , , but I think he is capable, would have to kick out the donkey coach though of course.

[Shaan 263]

5 goals and 5 assists in 9 matches now isnt it? so effective in the final third ...

[Azpinator 2,325]

I just knew this day would come. As corny as that sounds.

yeah his transfer dealings have been a disaster yet we still walked the PL last season. great logic

He is a quality young player but he is a DLP. He is best when he is dictating the game. He has played at AM before but he has been playing at DM/DLP for Vitesse and from what I am hearing is improving game by game and cosntnantly having an influence on games.

Why am i sensing hostility here? I am using my eyes, it´s my opinion and you have to respect that even if you don´t agree with it, ok? I do the same for others. Yes he inherited the team from Ranieri and Mourinho turned them into a force to be reckoned with, do you think Ranieiri would have done that? i don´t think so. Sure Mourinho has let good players go and so what? even Ferguson has done it, many managers do it, it happens, it´s how you deal with it afterwards that defines you as a good manager or not, Mourinho is a great manager whether you like him or don´t, he has delivered in the past and has delivered last season while letting good players go, and in the 2013/2014 season we came so close to winning the league and we didn´t because of dropped points against lower teams, we really lacked a proper striker and should have been sorted out in the summer, Mourinho made a mistake in persisting with Rooney and it didn´t materialize, there were better options available in the market..

Of course i will not agree with some of his decisions, like letting Mata, Schurrle and De Bruyne go, and i was a big fan of Mata and Schurrle, but it´s life and we need to move on, no point in crying over spilt milk.

This season it´s pratically the same team from last season and i know it´s been a disaster so far, but like many teams in the past, they go trough bad patches and right now the main focus is getting the team back on track and peforming again and that is what i´m more worried about, not players who already left the club. I thank some for their service here, but now it´s time to move on, time to focus on the current team and the future it brings.

I´m here for the long stay and will keep on following Chelsea whoever plays for them or whoever manages them, and i hope Mourinho remains here for the long term and if that is no longer possible then so be it, life goes on and i don´t need your approval, so just back off and respect other people´s opinions, this discussion ends here.
