He’s a fraud system player who needs a super team and unlimited space to perform. He will never lead a team he’s just a cog in a system. Man city have won the league with him being injured a whole season. If Salah, Messi, Neymar, mbappe, lewandowski, and even ozil in his prime were injured a whole season the teams they play for will have a 0% chance to win a major trophy . The fact he’s seen as the undisputed best player in the league can only be explained by white privilege and that he’s the European darling by the media

It's kinda weird comparing very different midfielders but KDB is easily the best of his generation hands down but I can't see what he does better than the other Premier League greats Scholes had better passing. Lampard was a better goalscorer and Gerrard was a more complete midfielder. Not to mention all of those players were from the same era and there was plenty of world class midfielders throughout the 2000's so the competition was so much higher. De Bruyne is great but how many other midfielders are at thag same level at the moment? I rate De Bruyne massively but I'm struggling to see how he is better than any of the current Top 3

The most complete midfielder easily what a joy to watch and hopefully for many more years without injuries
Greatest attacking midfielder of the PL era
He’s one of the greatest to ever play in midfield
Honestly if de bruyne has a UCL and a World Cup we would all admit he’s the greatest midfielder ever look at modric I hugely respect him genuinely modric is a top 5 mid for me all time and de bruyne needs a UCL to get in there for me but de bruyne is the greatest crosser of all time, he has a hell of a long shot, he’s a good ball carrier to take the ball forward into attacking positions, he has tremendous vision, through balls, both feet, even defensively he isn’t lacking too much there’s not much de bruyne needs oh and consistently scoring and assisting in the hardest league even as a utd fan I must admit he is insane and for me he is probably above Scholes, Gerard, Lampard and even worldwide maybe Zizou although they are different play styles
He’s been my favourite player in the premier league now for the past 6 years, and I have to agree with Jamie carragher he does produce every week,unlike some who have flashes of brilliance and who are raved about. I’m fed up with him being passed over for being the premier league’s player of the season,it’s about time he won it.

KdB is phenomenal. Up there with Robbie Savage as one of the best midfielders of all time.
Amazing to hear that☺️💯😋
If you were to build a new team and could pick anyone I'd start in the middle with KDB. Nice to have Haaland, of course, but KDB is the guy that sets things up. The only one I can think of that has that kind of impact in the middle doesn't actually play in mid-field, last season Harry Kane had a slow start for scoring but by mid season his link play from the middle was incredible -- the header tip pass to, was it Bergwijn, his passing is insane.

I love Kane. Both linkup wise and numbers wise he's phenomenal. But sometimes it feels there's games he just ghosts through. Never get that impression with De Bruyne. And it also feels like Haaland has less of those games too - but obviously Haaland doesn't drop deep like Kane does but he nearly always impacts the game in the final third.

@@Anonymous-xr8hx Kane had a horrible start to last season with all the transfer nonsense and it took him until the middle of the season to get back into form. I don't think he or any of the Spurs are having a great season so far and as a Spurs fan I hope that changes. Interesting that the season ended with Arsenal choking against Spurs then losing the next week giving 4th to Tottenham, but this season has been so different. The Gunners looked great in preseason and have been on fire from the start -- hard to see them actually beating City to the title, but it isn't out of the question. Amazing to think there were a lot of Arsenal fans that wanted to sack Arteta every time they lost a game last season.
Hell still not go down as one of the best of all time. The true greats, Messi, Cr7, Zidane, Maradona, Pele, Ronaldinho, R9 they all did it at their clubs and for their country and won all the major trophies. De bruyne hasn’t won the World Cup or champs which is the benchmark for a true great. Hate to be that guy but it’s just facts

Grealish is a different player from the exciting marauding skilful attacking midfielder he was at Villa, running straight at defences with the ball, taking them on himself. Now, like you say, he's just happy to keep the ball, which is fine at times I guess, but overall the way he's changed his game is really disappointing
Hopefully he ages like Modric did. Seen as he's 32 come the new season. Also yes the man knows exactly how to hit the ball to evade the opposition & to find a team mate
During his time at Man City, he has been deployed as CM, AMC, LM, RM, RW, LW and even as CF. And when it comes to goals and assists, he has actually delivered in all of those roles. The luxury that Man City have is that when he gets older and maybe doesn't offer the same mobility, they can use him in the Fernandinho/Rodri role as well as even in the Messi role as long as the other 9 outfield players work around him. Because as long as he has the ball at his feet, he will always produce.

He deserves a ballondor
I'm united an hate to say this but the whole city team is 1 of the best to play in the Premier league.. kdb had reasonable quiet game if u ask me .he just seems to no when summit is needed world class to change a game he minds his magic. If its not kdb it's Forden grealish or the little blonde Norwegian up top..the team is full of game changers yet they can't seem to find what it takes win champs league..it'll come im sure there to good not to get 1 an the owners will buy if needs be
Remember when Swindon fans were saying Nile Ranger was better than De Bruyne?

In all honesty, no. I don't. Nile Ranger played for Swindon during the period De Bruyne played 3 games in 2 years for Chelsea. Seems weird they would pick a barely known Chelsea reserve midfield player as a comparison for their striker.

As a belgian i can definitely say he usually doesn't put in the same effort ever since 2018. Mostly because he doesn't have faith in the manager but seemingly also most of the players. The only times KDB actually plays really well for Belgium is when he's on the pitch together with Lukaku, who is i'd say our best player for the national team. People will banter him but his numbers don't lie and on the pitch he's one of the smartest strikers especially when linked up with De Bruyne.

Couldn’t do it in the World Cup , but could do it against the Liverpool C team 👏🏼
Kinda disagree with Jamie. In my opinion, De Bruyne's poor performances for Belgium, in arguably the golden generation, will have a negative affect on his career. You've got to do something at international level to be on the same tier as a Zidane. Similar to why Gerrard can't be in that bracket.

No denying he’s a world class passer but some of these comments are crazy. The best midfielder in the world or pl history has to be someone that can attack and defend. The best player in the role de bruyne plays is messi. Could argue he’s not even the best midfielder in city’s history.

I am Barca fan, but unpopular opinion, I think de bruyne’s passing abilities is just as good, potentially better than of Messi

When it comes to Belgium there is a fragile chemistry and a lot of damaged relationships in the camp which is why they don’t play well together
