Transfermarkt has him at 669 PL minutes this season, the total of 7.4 games, so it’s much of the same as the rest of the season really.He became less important for them this year but it’s always good to see how they will react without him for a certain period.
What the feck? He's been injured and was still in the process of coming back from injury, stop talking out your arse.Mad how ‘good’, rather than last season’s turbocharged ‘great’ him and Salah are now the authorities are closely scrutinising doping in football.....

28? I thought he was around the 24 age bracket.https://www.skysports.com/football/...city-suffer-fresh-kevin-de-bruyne-injury-blow
Injured again. Bit injury prone, eh? Seems hes always out.
28 in the summer, doubt his luck will get much better.
Agreed, I think you are covered for Kevin. Fernandinho is your problem and hopefully you will have to think of a life without him for some part of season.Transfermarkt has him at 669 PL minutes this season, the total of 7.4 games, so it’s much of the same as the rest of the season really.
One problem it does fix is it pushes B.Silva back into the middle instead of forcing him into the team on the right, and means one of Sanè or Mahrez can support Sterling from out wide. It just puts a lot of reliance on the two Silva’s to now stay entirely fit until summer.
Then we are suffering from a lack of them.One of the best, if not the best playmaker of his generation for sure.
Not even the best in his team. David Silva is better.One of the best, if not the best playmaker of his generation for sure.
In fairness, it's still far to early to compare KDB to those players as he is only 27 and last season was his first really outstanding one in that role.Then we are suffering from a lack of them.
I'd still have Scholes and Pirlo any day
What exactly does Scholes do better than De Bruyne? His City side play a far more dominating and controlling game than we ever did and he has been largely a pivotal part of itThen we are suffering from a lack of them.

Again which Scholes are we talking about because I don't recall him being a player of the year contender in his "playmaking" seasons, De Bruyne has beenIn fairness, it's still far to early to compare KDB to those players as he is only 27 and last season was his first really outstanding one in that role.
For context, that's around the age at which Scholes was playing behind RVN thanks to Veron's arrival. I think someone like Xavi was older than that when he won his first major trophy for Spain too? For that type of midfielder it's really the beginning of their best years.
I think he was in 2006-07, but that was his deep playmaker phaseWhat exactly does Scholes do better than De Bruyne? His City side play a far more dominating and controlling game than we ever did and he has been largely a pivotal part of it

It is incredible to think that City are where they are this season despite probably their best player been out for nearly all of it.Imagine going nearly a full year without assist and your team is still comfortable challenging on all the fronts.
City are fantastic.
And I would argue De Bruyne is every bit as good if not better. He scores goals, gets lots of assists, can drive the ball forward etc. We often fantasize about players of the past and downplay the currentI think he was in 2006-07, but that was his deep playmaker phase
we sometimes forget that these footballers are humans too. They have the same problems we have toohttps://www.theplayerstribune.com/e...zlbeno9dykC0RGnbN3AiLktsZDoYC2M3FqGc3OeorfR9A
That was very emotional read.
And for us as we still play them tooHitting form at the right moment which is potentially bad news for Liverpool. Last season he was fantastic up to February and then went off the boil.
We would have been very close but not actually score so what's the point of bringing that up? Pogba has his way of creating like you saw against westham with that pass to rashford which led to the second penalty,so stop with your nonsense about intelligence.If pogba had little intelligence like kdb in Barcelona game, we would have been very close to scoring that night. There was a moment when he just got rid of the ball with an early pass when he could have carried the ball in final third on his own.
Kdb is fantastic.
Absolutely.Made a bit of a mockery of the 'Pogba is the best midfielder' thread today.
