Couldn't give two shites. I said he played as a 10 out wide, he would constantly cut in and because they have a fluid passing style team he got away with it.

At United and in english league, these sort of wingers don't work.. you need more pace and down the line threat. He cuts in all the time as he lacks pace/power down the line

You do know that he's got blistering pace, right? He's playing on the left today, he's obviously going to cut in a lot as he's right footed. Put him on the right and he can mix it up.

You can see he is a quality player, hopefully we can get him in the team more going forward

He is played today in his natural position as number 10, which helped his performance. He doesn't have the skill-set to be played as a winger, which was his role in his previous matches.

HELLO
It's weird how he looks like exactly the type of player we've missed in the last few years.

Didn't have the best first half but he's been amazing in the second. His style of play is so entertaining to watch.

This is an example of how some fans can't be objective. To me it's a big win for Camilo in this duel. Mhiki did not play = gets hero gloria :houllier:
He's not displayed anything - Wayne Rooney has been far better and we all know what kind of rating he gets on his play!!!! :rolleyes:

The man is JUNK. We should be hoping for someone to buy him for something close to what we paid for him. That would be the best piece of business since buying Eric Cantona.

You're an absolute joke.

To the comments saying he's not a winger in an epiphanic way - of course he's not. Dortmund played with a very dynamic front 3/4 - with Aubameyang stretching field and driving into channels, allowing Mkhitaryan to drift centrally and link up with him, or the likes of Kagawa/Castro/Gündogan as a possession wide-ish attacker; with Schmelzer/Ginter/Piszczek providing supplementary width:

The Armenian has made an excellent start under Tuchel and in an interview, credited his performances to the new system which he has found himself in. On paper he is seen on the left wing of the ‘3’ of Reus, Kagawa and Mkhitaryan yet his orientation is much more flexible as he frequently moves away from the touchline. The role is often situational, as he takes up suitable positions from which he can improve the structure of the team by creating connections across the midfield.

Mkhitaryan and Weigl are the two main structure-supporting agents and both are active through the left half-space, playing a key role in the effectiveness of the possession game around this area of the pitch. With a much better positional structure, Tuchel’s side are capable of developing ball possession more effectively

He's got the potential to link up with Pogba and co. in a similar fashion, but you need to have more movement and chemistry (which takes time and patience) to implement that, and he's not going to transform into an orthodox touchline hugging winger at United, since that's not what his game is about.

He might start on the bench on the weekend simply because he hasn't had many games so I'm not sure about his fitness, but I fully expect him to start becoming seriously involved from hereon. Definitely tons of quality there. He seems like a much faster version of Mata. Makes things happen while buzzing all over the pitch.
