Kevin de Bruyne

De Bruyne could've fit in with Oscar who was in great form at the time. Signing Willian is what fucked up everything.

I agree with you, when Hazard was playing bad William accelerated, with not much points to grab, now Hazard is on fire William is playing weak and we get the points.

Conclusion, let Hazard play good and you will win the game.

I have to say this, SO WHO THE F*CK IS CREATIVE ? If KDB isn't one, then we're talking about like what, 5 (!!!) players in the game that are CREATIVE ?

LOOK AT THE BROADER PICTURE GODDAMIT AND NEVER LOSE THAT SIGHT.

Who's creative then ? Silva, Messi, Ozil, James, Mata. Don't throw Neymar, Di Maria, Payet, Hazard, Suarez, Coutinho, Mkhitaryan, Isco at me. Because we all know they like to attack at pace just like Kev. So we have that high number of 5 (!!!) players in the world that can be claimed as "creative". And De Bruyne isn't creative because he doesn't check all the boxes of being one. Just great.

Oh, I forgot about Pastore. Everyone would want Pastore as AM over Kev because he is textbookishy "creative".

Calm down a bit. No need to use the caps lock.

Look, i'm not trying to have a go at De Bruyne or minimize his ability i just wouldn't label him a creative player. That's all.

Suppose it all depends on how you define creativity.

I consider being able to dribble in tight spacing a creative ability so players like Neymar, Hazard, Isco and Di maria would be creative players imo.

I just look at what a player can offer when the opponent plays a deep line (parks the bus).

When teams defend deep De Bruyne doesn't really make defense splitting passes nor does he go past players, in tight spacing, like Hazard does for example.

If he does try to go past players it usually happens in wide areas and he doesn't even really go past the player he just makes enough space for himself to cross the ball in.

De Bruyne just doesn't excel when teams park the bus. To be at his best he needs to have space. If he's up against a team that plays a high line then yeah he's going to make defence splitting passes. (it was a perfect situation @ Wolfsburg for him.)

When up against deep defences he needs to rely on his crossing ability (Like i said before his delivery from wide areas is quality) and his shot from distance (has a really good shot, both left and right, good accuracy, good power on them).

I don't want Pastore nor would i choose him over De Bruyne. It sucks that De Bruyne left and that was a mistake on our end no doubt about it but i've made my peace with it long ago.

An anonimous Chelsea source in the Belgian magazine Humo:

 

The only player that I ever have seen that stood up against Mourinho, was De Bruyne. Eventually Mourinho wanted to keep him on the bench for the coming time and De Bruyne said he didn't want that, so he left. De Bruyne and Hazard are both true world class players. But both are different types, Hazard is a magnificent solo artist, with genious moments. And De Bruyne is a fantastic team player, that can play in any team with every player. And he doesn't let anybody run over him.

Mourinho is EXTREMELY stubborn. His stubbornness will be my lasting impression of him from all of his years here. Once you are out of his good graces you are basically dead to him and once you are good you are an untouchable no matter what you do.  There was very little chance that he was ever gonna play De Bruyne. A great manager no doubt and he did a lot of good for us, but he was NEVER going to change. Should have fired him earlier in the season and we might have saved ourselves.

This is why I'm glad Mourinho is gone. United can have all of him as a Leopard never changes its spot.

He made the right choice.  Don't want players like him at my club.

I'm telling you guys, a lot of the Belgium players are Children of the Corn

Wow, the likeness is uncanny.

Minute 88 Bale humiliated this kid.

He had a poor Euros by his own standards.

Kind of 'meh'...like the rest of the City attack in general. Sterling was the only one who seemed to be doing something up front for them. De Bruyne tried some shots from distance but did not hit them as well he normally does.

Time for a poll about the dumbest things Chelsea have done in the past 5 years.

De Bruyne & one other man is to blame for his departure. Things happen for a reason whether it's good or bad.

[Fernando 6,441]

Giving pains to Mourinho for selling him. 

Well as long as he do it against United and not us, I will be happy. 

[Special Juan 27,419]

He's been magnificent here.

So happy for him to score against the twat's team 😊
