not that the sample size is particularly big

I include in it the players that would also go for 80 milions, aka Neymar, Messi, Pogba, etc, it gets bigger.

Bullshit

EVERYONE around Hazard in attack had a better season than him whereas de Bruyne is City's best player.

Hazard is bigger than the Premier League. De Bruyne named his child after him ffs.

People actually using this fake season against him. Laughing

I have never seen a top player have such an awful season as Hazard this season, explain pls what happened. Can he hope to come back as strong?

How inteligent is Pep Guardiola. Turning a meh winger into a good Central Midfielder. Didn't see that coming.

Di Maria is a very good winger, though. One of the best.

He was never a winger.

How would free_cat know? He's never seen him play rofl

Chelsea fans (including myself) were calling for KDB to be tried as a CM as far back as the start of 2013, Pep isn't anything special for playing him there, he's always had the qualities.

Silva and De Bruyne form a good partnership. De Bruyne is city's Rakitic, giving balance with his stamina, workrate, and dark work. Plus he has speed.
While Silva is their Iniesta, with the magic. Pep does it again.

by Art Morte Mon Aug 29, 2016 4:04 pm

Guardiola has never coached Rakitic, but otherwise a splendid observation. Props also for "dark work", don't know what it is, but I like it.

by Lucifer Mon Aug 29, 2016 4:27 pm

tbh this might be the first time Free Cat is praising Debruyne so I would take it and run away instead of looking at technicalities.

Pep does it again. As if Silva and De Bruyne were on the level of Nigel Reo Cocker and Stewart Downing before Pep came.

3 games in and free cat already hyping Pep ludicrously Laughing

Still remember how according to him Germany won the World Cup because of Pep.

by futbol Mon Aug 29, 2016 10:00 pm

Funny thing is that de Bruyne is actually not looking comfortable at all in his new position and will most certainly be benched or moved to the wing once Gündogan is fit again.

by jibers Mon Aug 29, 2016 10:33 pm

Yea, De Bruyne has been the worst player out of all the forwards since Pep came (the starters). His positioning is off a lot of the times and it forces his teammates to recycle the ball. He doesn't anything like the work Rakitic does because Aguero and Sterling actually run, Messi does whatever the hell he wants. I can't see De Bruyne being a starter.

Sterling and Sane should be the wingers eventually. Nolito is like a jittery Pedro and ruined so many attacking moves, De Bruyne isn't a winger.

by CBarca Mon Aug 29, 2016 10:49 pm

You can definitely give a little bit of credit to Pep for Sterling's form since the new season, but I like to wait and see if it will continue. He looks great so far. Pep does it again.

by free_cat Tue Aug 30, 2016 8:01 am

That City's first goal vs. West Ham was total football. With De Bruyne playing a small part while Silva and Nolito played the main part. When Gundogan comes back, I can see a midfield of Gundo - KDB and Silva, no way he will bench the Belgian Rakitic.

Btw, where is Sane?

Should be named De Boss instead of Bruyne
