madras Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sounds like a great debut. made easy by comparison with previous midfielders. We were wanking over 10yd forward passes to unmarked players just because we hadn't seen that since cabaye. That driven pass to janmaat was sweet mind.

toontownman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Stonking debut. Completely changed our side. The missing link. Controlled play and opened things up. Can't be underestimate how much he helped improve the team. Less pressure on gini and Moussa to create and Gave them more space. He even made colback look good imo.

Twinport53 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 The noise when he pings the ball for the 2nd goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Pleased to hear McClaren talk about having a player who can make forward passes and quicken the tempo, clearly recognises that as a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played some great balls in behind and into feet on the edge of the box too. It was a really good debut, he's exactly what we needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sounds like a good 5/7 debut. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sounds like a good 5/7 debut. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season. I can see him being treat similar to Ben Arfa/Robert by some fans once he's settled like, in the way that he'll be shot down and we'll get massive groans when one of those 60 yard balls goes into the crowd 10 yards behind Janmaat, etc. He's not going to do that every game but it'll be worth it in the long run seeing the benefit of his type of play.

nufc4eva Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Creative as fuck without even trying. He may be inconsistent but knows how to play. Top passing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's always looking for the forward pass. Complete opposite to Colback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Match reports in the papers seem to be making a big deal over that shoulder barge on Valencia. Really didn't see much of a problem with it at the time. Is there genuinely a case for a retrospective ban? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Would be a joke if he got banned for that. And would not be surprising in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but I see him as closer to a Nobby style player; occasional ambitious misses but outweighed by a perceptiveness and technique which was like witchcraft.

Really didn't see much of a problem with it at the time. Is there genuinely a case for a retrospective ban? Of course they are. Ruins the narrative of us going down if we are playing well and picking up points. Absolutely nowt in it. Like McClaren said, it's handbags. Can't be banned for it surely. Barely a yellow.

afar Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He was excellent today, just got to keep it. Amdy Faye was excellent on debut too.If this is indicative of how he'll play and how we use him, then 12 million will be an absolute steal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really didn't see much of a problem with it at the time. Is there genuinely a case for a retrospective ban? Referee was looking straight at it so I don't think they could do anything anyway, even if it was deemed ban worthy (which it wasn't!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Valencia was milking it for all it was worth also, pretty sure from the replay the arm never even reached his face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 brilliant debut. The long pass to Janmaat was sublime. Love lethal touch football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Valencia was doing his best to obstruct Colback and stop him from closing down Payet and when he got past he had a little kick at Colbacks legs. Shelvey gave him a little bit back for his team mate. At least that's how I saw it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
