Excellent performance. Going to be such a key player for us if he can keep this up. Love his tenacity.
Nah, Cleverley's just more of a Spanish-type midfielder.Brilliant performance. I can't decide what was more exciting, the goal, the chances created or the tackles. We've been missing all three of them in CM for too long. A massive upgrade on his compatriot, El Clev.
Yep, noticed that a few times. He's a very clever player is Herrera, infact all three of the midfield covered each other today. Looks very promising.Worked really well with Blind too. When Blind was going forward Herrera got equipped his place on the field. May be the start of a good midfield partner ship there!!
Exactly. Also funny how people don't point out that Chelsea have mostly stuffed 'only' newly promoted teams, or teams that struggled to stay up last season.In response to people saying "it was only QPR"

They also scored six at Goodison Park. I mean, I'm all for praising Herrera, there's no need to bring Chelsea into it and trying to downplay their start to the season.Exactly. Also funny how people don't point out that Chelsea have mostly stuffed 'only' newly promoted teams, or teams that struggled to stay up last season.
But at least he managed to avoid the confidence-shattering freakshow that was last season. It might have ruined him.I was gutted when Moyes decided against signing him last season, then signed his mate from Everton. Herrera is a boss and we haven't seen anything yet.
Nah, I am quite sure del Bosque will still be playing the same team, Casillas in goal, Xavi-Xabi in midfield, and his hero Torres up front.He's class, I can't believe people were using his lack of caps for Spain as some sort of indicator that he's not cut out for the top level, which is ridiculous. He'll be a great midfielder for us, and he'll be playing for Spain in Euro 2016 too, I'd wager.
Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera made more tackles (8) and completed more passes (77) than he did in any match in the 2013-14 La Liga season for Athletic Bilbao.
It's called a midfield.323 total touches between him, Blind, Di Maria.
Holy hell![]()
Blind had 110+ passes with a 95% accuracy. As they play together, Blind could consistently pass with very high accuracy. Finally.Did very well today. Both he and Di Maria have a tendancy to mishit or get their pass wrong every now and then, giving the ball back to the opposition but other than that he was really really good today. And tbh I was expecting that with Blind coming into the team, who also covers for the weakness I mentioned because he's fine with keeping the ball at a 90%+ accuracy and covering the positions they leave behind.
