Yeah but he's a player of a team you're a fan of. So just asking.
Kevin De Bruyne
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date
I disagree. He doesn't get targeted. Yes, today and Alli's tackles were awful, but that's all that springs to mind.
In terms of being fouled, he doesn't even rank in the top 10 in the Premier League, according to whoscored.com
Looks like a red - combo of recklessness and no intent to play ball.
Don't mention it.
Feel free to ask anything in the future.
I'm a fan of Pep and the football his team plays, not City - just saying
Ah cheers!
Terrible tackle but I think yellow. He's trying to stop the break on the counter more than deliberately hurt the player imo.
It’s a contact sport. These tackles are not exclusively on City players. Alli has racked up about five such tackles this season without the same hysteria. In any case, KdB was walking afterwards – he’ll be fine.
Kane too in the same game. But then again those stick in the mind so I won't go against the actual numbers.
Definitely a red I do not know how people are arguing otherwise.
Someone posted that being involved in the EL no longer cup ties you in the CL. Do you know if Sanchez can play for you in the CL?
JesuisKevin.
Will they do Brazil 2014, kind of tribute? Similar to Naymar?
wasn't expecting Pogba to be fueled a lot alongside with Hazard, it is worrying.
Pogba uses his body to shield the ball and roll opposition players, it looks worse than what it is.
He could yes.
It is not only terrible on replay but live it was clear the player had zero chance to get the ball and only looked to take the player out - awful challenge.
The same game where Otamendi kicked Kane point blank in the face?
Is he seriously injured? Asking for my fantasy team...
And should have been penalized, yes. That game.
Ah, should have known you were trolling. As you were.
I know it’s awful but I’d like to be out for 2-3 games to see how they cope without him. I don’t wish a serious injury but a knock I’d be ok with.
Nope, he's fine (according to BT Sport who said their reporter asked De Bruyne himself as he was walking around after the game).
He’s the 94th most fouled player in the PL. It’s an outrage. Think of the children!
I hope it's not a serious injury and I hope he's out for 10, 15 games. Just in case, no point in rushing him back too soon.
Wouldn't put much weight in his ability to assess a bad tackle if he doesn't know that Puncheon can't receive retrospective punishment after getting a yellow.
Would appear it’s not serious.
He's lucky he jumped with the tackle otherwise it was a Shaw situation all over again.
Again, unfortunately more often than not players do get away with it. Obviously watching Ronaldo week in week out when he was here, I can remember numerous examples he was absolutely clattered with little to no punishment.
It isn't right, but it isn't new.
Is KDB dead? oh my god 
Any word on what the extent of the injury is?
No injury at all last reports. KDB is a brave boy.
The man himself told BT Sport he was fine.
Drama queen
