Kevin De Bruyne to leave Man City at end of season

Kevin De Bruyne has announced he will be leaving Man City when his contract expires in the summer.

KDB has been one of my favorite players over the past few years. He plays an absolutely great brand of soccer. I will be very interested to see where he ends up next. I will have mixed feelings if he joins the MLS, unless it happens to be my hometown team. I don't pay much attention to the MLS, but I just might if KDB comes to town.

He won’t age well, I wouldn’t think. I watched Cryuff in the twilight of his career and he could still astound. KDB? Not so much.

I do wonder if KDB’s body may start breaking down. He has missed quite a few games over the years with lower body injuries.

Liverpool has been off since that loss to Plymouth Argyle. They have continued to find enough ways to win though. Doesn't hurt that Arsenal has also stumbled.

6 points is the magic number. In theory, it could happen this weekend.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1-0, Bournemouth, with the goal being scored in the 1st minute. Not exactly the best defense on the play.

Trent Alexander-Arnold enters late off the bench and scores the game-winner. Will it be his last goal for Liverpool?

Would be nice to win it at home. Last league title was covid year so nobody in the stands.

Let's end this on Sunday!
