He was the best Belgian on the pitch. He literally started all the attacks yesterday. Not his fault he has to do De Bruyne's job for him.

Didn't see the game because I was travelling, but I saw one brilliant pass from him putting someone through on goal.

My ideal team for belgium would be

Lukaku
Hazard KDB Carrasco
Naingolan Dembele
Vertonghen Vermaelen Lombaerts Alderweireld (If only we had backs)
Courtois

Even Pellegrini doesn't think De Bruyne's a technical or creative player & he isn't wrong. He doesn't participate in build up at all, he's pretty much a second striker.

He got into double figures of assists last season for City despite being 2 months out injured and at Wolfsburg season before IIRC, did he not have the record amount of assists that season with 27 from what I have read. Not a creative player my ass. He just is not the usual no.10 like Silva and Ozil who really are only creative players while KDB is creative and a goal scorer.

Assists=creative?

so does that mean CR7 is creative?

the eye test definitely doesn't show KDB as creative.

Wtf? Ronaldo had like 10 assists in La Liga this year, not 27 lol

Idd, KDB is a different breed of No.10  and hard to pinpoint. He doesn't have the pure technical skills as a David Silva or Özil, but he's more versatile. He's not a luxury player like Özil and Silva, pure N10's are a dying breed anyway. 

Look at Bayern, they don't play with a n10 (Müller behind the striker). Barca doesn't use one (Iniesta central, busquets defensive, and rakitic B2B). Real recently switched to a 4-3-3 with Casemiro replacing the traditional n10 players (Isco and James relegated to bench players). 

Against the best teams you simply can't get away anymore with a traditional n10. You only need them to break down defensive teams that just sit back and don't press. But even than id rather have creative central midfielders in the mold of Fabregas, Iniesta, Modric, and Kroos who can dictate play from deep.

Pep will probably use KDB in the same role Müller had at Bayern.

huh?

KDB had 27 assists in all competition in 2014/2015, while Ronaldo had 22 assists in all competition the same season.

Like, I said he is not your typical no.10, however to say that he is not creative is ridiculous imo. Explain the 27 assists in one season please? That was not just by luck or simply set pieces.

Like clockwork said. Assists don't equal creative.

A lot of those assists are from set pieces and him crossing the ball in from wide areas. His delivery is quality and gets him a lot of assists.

Shakez also gave a fitting description of DeBruyne.

And like I said already, he is a creative player because I can give you a list of goals where he has shown clear creative nous. On top of my head I remember one of his assists for Aguero against Newcastle last season which was a defence splitting through ball. He done another great through ball against Bournemouth when Sterling got a hattrick. Now if people are talking about he does not build up play, his assist for Aguero's second goal against us was all started and created by him right?

I don't know how his assists were at Wolfsburg, but as well as a lot being from set pieces, I can guarantee you a lot of them were probably from good sense of creativity which involved defence splitting balls etc.

This is how City's webpage describe him: "Kevin’s creativity and eye for defence splitting passes and crosses prompted City to sign the Belgian international in the summer transfer window of 2015/16."
