His pressuring was excellent. The foul after he won the ball back was laughable

Answer: Mariner

 

[arnie_ni]

It's positioning and awareness that it needs, so hopefully he's capable of that as we know Fred is a runner and leaves lots of space behind himself because of that.

Those 2 and Bruno. You'll never find a more energetic 3. We'll either be winning the ball high all game and create a bucketful of chances or well get smashed on thr counter all game

 

[bosnian_red]

Very comfortable with a sabitzer, Fred and Bruno midfield for the next 3 league games.. he looked very strong with his tackling

The standard ABU explanation is: Yeah but Bruno's goal shouldn't have counted against City cos Rashford was offside, or some BS like that.

After the City game we will struggle to get anything out of referees. Hughes had his hands above his head when he touched the ball in the box today, and it got referred to the screen. Like it wasn't a stonewall penalty.

 

[V.O.]

Thrown in to a pretty shit situation, but didn't wilt from the challenge in the slightest. Got stuck in, showed some aggression in challenges, played a few neat passes.

Nothing wrong with that for a debut at all. Very glad we have him as an option.

 

[userman]

Looked solid, showed great intensity and positional awareness, unlucky not to get an “assist” when the ref somehow called a foul.

Think he can step in very nicely for Casemiro (will obviously still be missed though)!

 

[CM]

I liked what I saw from Sabitzer. He was thrown on in tough circumstances on his debut but showed good intensity and used the ball well. Hopefully next time he'll have a bit more opportunity to get on the ball when we have 11 players on the pitch.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Could be exactly what we need. Doesn't slow things down.

Can't wait for next match.

I really thought we wouldn't get the pen we got today.

 

[Rauður Djöfull]

My mate is a bundesliga fan and has been talky very well of this guy, lively appearance today coming into a shit situation, think he did ok and look forward to seeing more and hope / guess he starts vs Leeds, ref was absolut shit and that foul he called on Sabitzer was rubbish deciison

 

[El Jefe]

Looked really good from the little we saw. Willing to get on the ball but also aggressive off the ball.

 

[Frank White]

Like what i saw from the very little time he was on, hopefully gets some time now Casemiro is out really don't want McFred back.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Looks a good player. Tenacious pressing and had nifty feet.

Little worried about our positional nous and playmaking though with him and Fred behind Bruno.

 

[AndySmith1990]

Thank feck we've got this fella or we'd have half a midfield for the next 3 games

 

[lex talionis]

Did well I thought. Never a foul either and he put Rashford through with a beauty of a ball. fecking Marriner

This. Not a foul at all and with that through ball Rashy would have closed the book.

The jewel theft looks a very solid addition to the squad.

 

[Remember the geese]

Liked what I saw. I don't think he's a natural replacement for Casemiro, but I'd like to think that we will be fine for the next three games.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

Not bad, not bad.

 

[Massive Spanner]

He will ultimately displace Fred, who he’s better than. But thank feck we have him right now too.

 

[Scottynaldinho]

Didn't give commentators an opportunity for that stupid welcome to the premier league comment. It was the other way around infact.

 

[Remember the geese]

Definitely. He has a huge role to play in our season.

 

[#07]

Me too. VAR took ages to even call the ref over to the screen. VAR was quicker off the mark to decide there were reasons to red card Casemiro than to agree basketball has different rules than football! Honestly, can see us being f'd over at Wembley.

 

[stu_1992]

A crazy situation to be thrown into for your debut, so not the best time to judge. However early signs were good with his workrate.

 

[Fortitude]

Those 2 and Bruno. You'll never find a more energetic 3. We'll either be winning the ball high all game and create a bucketful of chances or well get smashed on thr counter all game

Yeah, manic if Sabitzer can’t sit!

 

[RuudTom83]

Great game to be thrown into really...total backs against the wall 10 men 100 mph ending.

Welcome to the Premier League Sabitzer.

 

[Elcabron]

I really liked what I saw from Jim, physicality seems to be there which is crucial for PL. Can't wait to see him get a run of games.

 

[M Bison]

started off well in difficult circumstances. Definitely a premier league player with his physicality

 

[royboy16]

Nice cameo,slotted into the team as if he’s been there months.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Surprised in a positive way. Expecting nothing but looks like we got a solid player.

 

[Olecurls99]

Fantastic debut. Please stay fit, Bruno Fred and Sabitz

 

[RaulitoElCrack]

Love the attitude and determination. Got that Martinez spirit. He will be good for us.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

It was a shit decision against him but on the plus side his reaction to the whistle blowing was exactly what we need. Sort of a "what the feck are you on about you fecking knob, you're a corrupt abu cnut go feck yourself" wave of the hands. Elegant but profound, like a swan with a knife taped to it's head.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Lovely little cameo.

 

[ChaddyP]

Such a shame. We didn't get to see him come on two love up for Casemiro and just enjoy himself

Shakespearean.

 

[11101]

Nice little cameo and as already said a shocking decision from a ref having a howler, he should have had his first assist as Rashford was in the clear.

Very glad we've got him now Casemiro is out.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

He looked good when he came on, it’s just a shame we were down to 10 men and backs against the wall so weren’t really able to see his attacking qualities.

 

[izak]

Good debut, when we've got everyone needed in midfield fit, he'll show more of what he's capable of.

 

[delerium]

I'm so relieved we got him in the deadline day especially now that Casemiro is out for the next 3. He will get a lot of minutes, and if we win these next 3, he will be a very popular player here I bet.

All the initial signs are showing that he really seems to be the player we wanted.
