[DWelbz19]

He had Lewandowski in his pocket all fecking night. The tiktoker thought he’d have more joy against the smaller man and stayed away from Varane’s side, only for that to happen

 

[Oranges038]

MOTM for me.

Great performance.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Street fighter defender. Best description I've heard of him ... opponents will tangle with him and end up on the deck

 

[avgp_1]

MOTM for me. Best player in that terrible first half and then some stunning passes including the one for the second goal all the while keeping Lewandowski in check

 

[Godfather]

Magnificent

 

[Zen86]

Monster of a defender. He’s like the heart and soul of the team when he plays.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Bullied Lewa, like a small man against a very tall boy

 

[RuudTom83]

EtH, Licha and Antony all have that fire in their bellies!!!

Love all 3 of them!

 

[Pronewbie]

Were we always in for him and used Timber as a decoy? Makes perfect sense to have him instead in hindsight.

 

[Rake]

He was magnificent. His passing is truly a joy to behold. He has deep pockets with some of the best strikers around in them.

 

[Scarecrow]

This guy is unreal. Such a good player.

 

[17Larsson]

This guy is my hero. I love him so much

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Magnificent.

 

[MetoTTT]

Rock solid again, a true leader. What a signing! Vida like player with better passing.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Legend in the making. It’s a fecking horrid thought he could’ve been wearing Arsenal shirt, thank feck we stepped in.

 

[Red_Aaron]

an absolute warrior of course but just how good he is on the ball too can't be understated

but for Marcus' goals this would be our player of the year for me, over casemiro

 

[Lay]

Yeah he’s my favourite player of the last 10 years

 

[Lecland07]

Great player - he just never seems to make mistakes.

 

[kidbob]

Best CB in the World for me. I can't think of a single one better than him except for maybe Varane!!

 

[Sparky_Hughes]

Best cb in the world and my favourite player

 

[bosnian_red]

Can't be successful as a CB at that height unless you have Cannavaro level potential... Don't think that's inaccurate to say. He just has it though.

 

[Rajma]

World class, that’s all there’s to say

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Plays like he's been at the club for 4 or 5 years. Has fitted in effortlessly

What a signing

 

[Jacob]

He's so loveable it's unreal.

 

[criticalanalysis]

His ability to get bum tight (yes you read that right), without giving a foul and completely disrupting any attacker's rhythm to control a ball is unmatched.

A fecking warrior with surgical technique.

 

[Pirlo'sBeard]

Incredible player.

 

[Telsim]

Absolutely unreal player. Unbelievable guy. Completely annihilated Lewa.

 

[#07]

Argentina! Argentina! Argentina!

 

[harms]

That close up of him shoving Lewandowski out of the pitch like it was nothing
My MotM. Perfect defensively and some of his passing was simply outrageous.

 

[spiriticon]

I don't have more words to say how good this guy is.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Defends like Vida, plays the ball like Rio. Monster player.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Superb, just nipped by Fred for motm.

 

[Cutch]

I'm not sure I've ever loved a player more

 

[Aint gota Kalou]

His height is weirdly a strength, low centre of gravity means he's rock solid in and out of possession. His timing and composure on the ball is world class.

 

[KM]

He's ridiculous. That's all.

Also some of his passes. Jesus Christ.

 

[royalewithcheese2006]

Feckin love this man. So cool, reads the game so well and knows when to boot it clear and when to keep possession and build from the back. Everytime I see him covering, I know he's going to handle it. Don't think I've felt the same way about any CB we have since Vidic and Rio more than a decade ago.

 

[kouroux]

I'm just gonna say it that on the ball, he is the best CB in the world. He is just too fecking good, nothing else to add

 

[Vapor trail]

Best signing this summer. Casemiro perhaps the most important but Martinez the most efficient.

 

[youngrell]

Class performance, absolutely bullied Lewandowski all night.

I love how it looks like he leaves a dent on the opponent with every challenge, even when the challenge is so clean. Hard as nails.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Very good

Legend in the making. It’s a fecking horrid thought he could’ve been wearing Arsenal shirt, thank feck we stepped in.

Gotta give it to Arsenal, they were serious about getting him and I can't fault them for trying after witnessing the season he is having here
