Agreed. Such a classy player.
Bloody amazing footballer.
Best player in the world at the minute.
Current PL tiers:
Tier 1: KDB, VVD
Tier 2: Aguero, Sterling, Mané, Kane, Robertson, Bernardo Silva
Tier 3: Salah, TAA, Firmino, Walker, Son, Aubameyang
Tier 1: KDB, VVD
Tier 2: Aguero, Sterling, Mané, Kane, Robertson, Bernardo Silva
Tier 3: Salah, TAA, Firmino, Walker, Son, Aubameyang
Aguero tier 2? He’s level 1 no doubt about it.
Aguero is Tier 1
Robertson and Kane don't really belong on the same tier.
Quality player.
Reminds me of Gerrard with his passing
Won us the game pretty much on his own, well with help from Mahrez whilst the rest of our front 5 were worse than terrible. Assisted the first, won the freekick for the winner.
Thought Mahrez was the best player on the pitch tonight. Scored the free kick and set up easy chances for Sterling and Gundogan that they missed.
Eh? Gerrard was nowhere near as accurate or consistent.
Amazing. Ridiculous we didn’t even try to get him at the time. I hope himself & hazard win the EC
The third best player in the world.
He got fouled for the second! And it took a supreme Mahrez hit for the free kick.
And he wasn't involved for the third goal.
So I wouldn't put it all down to him!
You must have made a mistake. You missed all the United players.
I hope you’re joking.
Made me laugh, that.
Was excellent too. I thought KDB was the key man though, the 2 moments that decided the game in our favor, he played a part in both. Of course Mahrez hit the freekick and created some great chances we fluffed out lines on.
Still pissed that Bayern didn’t want to pay up to get him.
He's a robot
A proper player.
When on form he's the best player in the league. It's refreshing in modern football to see a player produce world class performances on the pitch and still live a quiet life off it. Why we never went for him I'll never know.
He's also levels above Pogba in talent and application. Pogba could do with watching De Bruyne as he would learn a thing or two. Problem is Pogba is too busy planning his next stupid fecking haircut.

So this is how it felt for you lot back in the day when we had Scholes and Giggs at their peak and you guys had Ireland and Dickov.
P. S. Is he really that good, or is it because of the Pep effect?
I think KDB is really that good, since his Wolfsburg days. Trust me buddy you guys will never have it as bad as use. If only Ireland and Dickov was our lowest ebb... We had Lee Bradbury as our record signing whilst you had peak class of 92.
Levels above in talent not sure but the rest I agree with it. KDB is player who exploits most of his potential and ability on a consistent basis while Pogba often leaves you scratching your head.
Goal/assist every 53 minutes in the PL this season.
I see this all the time. Why isn't De Bruyne above him in talent? Because Pogba looked good in Italy four years ago?
He can be above or below him in talent.
Personally, I think Pogba is more talented, but what good is his talent, when his application of it is so poor.
I won't agree with the notion that KDB is levels above him in talent though. KDB isn't other-worldly talented to be levels above Pogba in talent.
Talent is subjective of course and almost pointless if said player cannot back it up with actual performances. When I see them play, specially at their best ever level, I don't think Pogba cannot do what KDB does (while I think there are thing KDB will never be able to replicate in Pogba's game). The massive issue is that Pogba is rarely at that level and at the end of the day that's what matters the most. That's my 2 cents.
Who cares about potential talent?
Quaresma, Ravel..
Even those whom have reached heights but faded like Ronaldinho.
Talking about talent is like losers who still pipe up about how their teachers said they were smart but lazy.
Or how about think about being able to apply talent consistently and fully as a talent? DeBruyne is worlds above Pogba.

If you don't care, why chime in then ? No one even said that this particular element is what matters
How does Salah drop from tier 1 to tier 3 after a season scoring of 27 goals and winning CL, while Kane remain at tier 2 above him after a season of scoring 24 goals and winning nothing?
I think Pogba is better athlete. But I seen nothing that says he is more talented. All I know is KDB is twice the player Pogba is
That whipped cross from inside right is similar for sure. But he is on a completely different level to Gerrard as a passer. Miles between them.
Best player in the world
Yeah that's his fault, the scrub.
I don't blame you. I blame this culture of assessing players by trophies
There is perhaps nothing other-worldy about KdB, but he’s such a perfect midfielder that it feels lab-created. He’s got a brilliant football IQ, his passing and crossing is second to none, he can shoot perfectly with both feet. It’s criminal that one player possesses all that while still being super fast and good at dribbling. Think of any other midfielder in the world football currently and you’ll realize they’re not as complete.
I'd go one step further, I blame this culture of assessing everything by stats.
