I think it's more the fact that he got stretchered off followed by a complete media frenzy afterwards that causes the reaction on here when he miraculously recovered in a few days. I'm glad he's not injured and it was a pathetic excuse for a tackle but was the tackle deserving of the drama that ensued? I mean, you could easily argue that the tackle on Lingard yesterday was more dangerous and malicious than Puncheon's. But he didn't need to be stretchered off nor is he close to having a big name like KdB so it doesn't get mentioned.

The immediate return of this brave soldier has choked me up. What an inspiring start to 2018.
Holy shit, listen to his voice breaking into that weird shout/whine thing.
Imagine being a woman and hearing that tone in an argument...
I can understand how his missus ran off to the calming, dulcet tones of Courtois - who, in comparison to squeaky Kev sounds like Barry White.
Hilarious that Puncheon went in with a stupid challenge and actually comes off worse.
It really wasn't that bad a tackle, I don't know why everyone was outraged by it. Standard tactical foul, yellow card.
Hard to feel sorry for Puncheon to be fair, when you go in like that with no regard for your opponent.
Exactly, it was absolutely stupid. Maybe not a red, but utterly idiotic nonetheless.
I must admit this made me chuckle
Damn, those PEDS are turning his legs into Kevlar!
«Kevlar Kevin»
Kevlar De Bruyne.
How can you come to the conclusion that he was faking injury? If he wasnt hurt I'm pretty sure that he would love to take the resulting free kick instead of making his team go down to ten men. Makes no sense really.
Shame Oliver was ref during our match. Would have loved to see us do a Reyes on him.
So you're saying he was injured and then got better really quickly to start a game 48 hours later...?
Or that he thought he was injured, but it turned out he was actually totally fine to start a game 48 hours later?
Or that one of guardiola's 'special doctors' thought he was injured to the point he had to leave the pitch on a stretcher with a fecking splint, only to get back to the dressing room and realize he was totally fine?
It was obvious plot by Pep doctors to create a drama and perception - watch out in the upcoming games players to get carded for every foul on De Bruyne.
I think that he wasn't injured as he can play tonight but he was clearly very hurt and may have thought that he was serious injured.
This! You wouldn't be able to breath on De Brunye now without the referee blowing up
It was right there!
Hilarious how all the fat armchair fans who have never kicked a ball in their life suddenly become expert on injury protocols and knocks taken on the field.
It was the leg brace. You rarely see that for a player who is fit two days later.
It was a precaution as explained. I don't get why would you want your best player to fake an injury just to prove a point at the most crucial part of the game and when the result isnt going as planned, talk about delusion.
KDB sounded like Brock Lesnar in that video. Maybe KDB needs an advocate so that he never has to talk again.
So his ghost is just as good as he was? Amazing amazing player.
The uproar over that tackle is seriously hilarious. Just a standard tactical trip gone wrong. Yellow, maybe red for some referees, but never an injury causing tackle.
Must have gone like “I’m hurt!!! Aarggg... put me on a stretcher “
Must have gone like “I’m hurt!!! Aarggg... put me on a stretcher “
Thats what happens when you attack Superman.
Sounds like crying wolf to me, I predict no one will bat an eylid when something serious actually happens. If he's going to get carried off on stretches every single time at slightest knock.
Let me taaalk.
Yes, what do you want to talk about?
Ask KDB.
You do realise he wasn't taken of on a stretcher? That was Gabriel Jesus.
Darwin award for Puncheon, serves him right.
Guess KDB's demise was greatly exaggerated though.

Taking a thread off topic
Everyone laughing over his missus.
I'm sure the way he bent united over in the last couple of old trafford derbies was more impressive than anything courtois did to his wife.

Bye bye.
You go gurl!
I don't think our fans were impressed with his cock as his wife was with Curtois' tbf.
She did seem quite impressed in fairness.
