Without even searching online, I can mention that 2-0 win against City. You came here to rant that Arsenal parked the bus and didn't come out to play. I countered you then. City played the same way yesterday and won but it is not bus parking.

Kog45:
Did anybody said Osimhen was lying about Amunike giving him his breakthrough abi na only him dey discover players or wetin u wan Manu Garba do

Yes Amunike had corruption allegations against him, verified or not and it involves players under him.

Expressing my views on his other side doesn't mean I didn't rate him as a coach?....Do not worry I go hold the flowers and respect baba thegoodjoe.

I hope he get good job soon and prove NFF wrong.

BronzeTiger:

Finito cause it concerns your team. That's the same way real madrid and arsenal both home and away were compact against city this season.
Finito.

TheGoodJoe:


The stats clearly shows it is not the same thing. My points raised not yet countered. Just series of typings.

TheGoodJoe:


You just did not get the point. Muller in what was quoted above said Magic and aesthetics (eye appealing) Zidane rules them. I agree 100%. When it comes to goal contributions, De Bruyne and Muller rules. How can you tag this disrespect?

As Thiago Alcantara said, in the game today, there is little space to even turn with the ball. That is why we see less magic and more contributions.

No one is disrespecting Zidane but give KDB his respect. He is now among the greats.

Timixion:






KDB is no where near Zidane & certainly not among the greats. He is a good player no doubt but he doesn’t posses the natural ability to even be compared to someone like Zidane.

KDB’s ball retention is horrendou s that’s why he tends to cross most times he gets the ball, he isn’t a player that can play with his back facing the goal.Pep also talked about this many times, more reasons why he pushed him further up to pair with Haaland so that his poor ball retention won’t get exposed in the middle.

I seriously don’t understand how this Zidane comparison came up because they don’t even play same position. KDB is closer to false9 position than he is to the midfield. He can’t play proper midfield because he would lose the ball due to his poor ball retention. It’s a common knowledge that a player who is closer to the goal will have more opportunities to score & assist. Even at that, he doesn’t have the big game masterclasses Zidane had in WC, euro, CL.. Zidane has more KO’s G/A in these playing much deeper than KdB

Besides, even with KDB’s G/A .. he has ghosted in every possible big games with city & Belgium.It has also being proven that city can actually win without him. Mancity won KDB’s biggest ever trophy/match (UCL) without him. They also won at least 2 league trophies with KDB injured most part of the season. So what exactly does he do other than spamming multiple crosses when he is tensed?

Zidane has literally done it in WC, euro, CL, leagues .. with big goals and assist in QF,Semis & Final , he also won best player of the tournament in WC, euro and CL. Was also best player of the season in 3 different leagues. It’s disrespectful & blasphemy to compare a mere mortal like KDB to him.

I am not even convinced KDB is better than Gerrard, Lampard or even Nedved. If it’s about stats alone even Muller has more than him & no one calls muller a great like Zizou

TheGoodJoe:


You have not countered the points raised.

TheGoodJoe:


Ironically, I think this might work the other way, the reason why Kevin De Bruyne is insanely productive is because of the astonishing magnitude he is offensive with the ball.

Imagine him missing almost half of thos season and still having the highest assists.

The point is not about who is better. That can be judged on different scales.

It is about preference and I prefer effectiveness to keeping the ball and dazzling with it.

When it comes to effectiveness, Kevin De Bruyne rules Zidane hands down. That is a fact.

Finito.

Timixion:



He isn’t insanely productive when you compare him to players that played same role as him. He is more of a 2nd striker /false 9 than a midfielder. I wonder why some of you keep sneaking him into conversation he doesn’t belong

He is playing in the same position as Muller, Baggio, Di Stefano , Zico , Platini etc . When you compare KDB’s stats to these guys … he is the lowest of bunch.

His comparison to Zidane is so funny because Zidane was midfielder who dictated play, control tempo and connect defense with attack. Something KDB is extremely poor at. Most times KDB just wait at the final 3rd or drift to the RW to cross… how is that a midfielder ?😂. Even Pep knows he is poor on the ball, always begging him not to lose the ball.. Midfielder una !

Another question is , what has his statspadding done to help Belgium or Mancity? He ghosted in the Euros, Worldcup & even nations league. He still ghosted in CL final which his team won without him. So how can you prove KDB’s impact on the team? Can his team do without him? Obviously yes!

Zidane has more G/A’s in these big games than KDB because of his excellent ball handling & leadership mentality. His job wasn’t even to score but he still did it when it mattered most.

Marjoribanks:
He did not watch Zidane play. He started watching football during Pep's era. No blame am!
No human that watch Zidane play will ever compare KDB to him! Travesty!

mostob:
Because you have no point!!!
You're just going back and forth even with the truth staring in your face.

TheGoodJoe:


I watched Zidane more than you hands down.

TheGoodJoe:


Come on. KDB is a big part of our success. Guardiola is talking of him still improving. KDB only has Ryan Giggs ahead of him in assists in the history of the EPL. Giggs has more games and playing more of a forward.

KDB is mostly listed as a midfielder and it is his interpretation of the game that makes him unique.

Leave Manchester City out of the talk because he will be remembered as one of the Greatest to grace the game and grace the EPL.

As for Belgium, it is like saying Luis Figo is not amongst the greats because he won nothing with Portugal.

Football is a career and not a big game thing. Career wise KDB ghosts him.

Finito.

I want to presume you went to at least a secondary school and have some basic comprehension understanding.

I ask the question ⁉️ because I've explained already and you went past the in-depth explanations and responded with this far from intelligent response.
