I'm not saying he isn't capable of playing a throughball every now and again but if you look at the assists he's had the large majority of them are from set pieces and crosses from wide areas.

Playing 3 successful throughballs in a season doesn't make him a creative player.

Also, he only seems to be able to pull off those "defence splittingΒ  balls" when the opposition is playing a really high line (or when it's a counter attack) and there's acres of space in behind.

When teams sit deep he just isn't capable of "splitting the defence". He just isn't a creative player. When facing a deep defence he has to resort to crossing balls from wide areas or take shots from a distance.Β 

He just doesn't excel in those tight areas where creative players work their magic.

All De Bruyne's assists for Wolfsburg in 2014/2015 season. Couple of through balls (on the counter attack). Majority are set pieces and crosses from wide though.

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".

He got much better once he started playing the No 10 role.

Yup, is his best position imo. Hope Wilmots plays him there. Hazard on the 10 just adds a bit more schwung to our attack.

Also thought De Bruyne looked better when he was moved to the right wing and had a bit more space to express himself.

Couldn't he just do the same for Chelsea?

Indeed, Kevin needs more space then eden.

Hazard on the 10 please and we could achieve something,if our defense does not fuck up.

I'm still adamant KDB on the right & Hazard #10 are the roles both should be playing. Hazard is a traditional playmaker, he wants to get on the ball, create space, beat defenders & combine with other players. De Bruyne on the other hand is a better pure winger than Hazard with his insane crossing ability & killer instinct.

It should be

Carrasco - Hazard - De Bruyne

Why do Belgians rate Mertens so highly btw? All he does is cut inside & shoot.
