He looks really solid so far, might even be our best player so far in the match.

Edit: Also fecking refreshing to see him being able to use his left foot after a season of Valencia's right footed charade.

 

[MDFC Manager]

He's owned his area so far, which has allowed Mata to roam about to wherever he wants to

 

[devilish]

Reminds me of Gary Neville. Very solid defensively, but no mug when it comes to going forward. Also works his socks off.

He's more technically gifted than Gaz. In reality he's a mix between Gaz and the Da Silva boy. He's better defensively than Rafa but not as good as Gaz is. He's more technically gifted than Gaz but not as technically gifted as Rafa.

Who made the mistake with the Spurs' chance in the 5th min? Commentator here said Darmian should have been higher up so Eriksen would be offside.

 

[gooDevil]

He loves to run, what a player!

One of the midfielders should have been tracking Eriksen IMO.

 

[Stretford Red1978]

I love the guy it's like he's been playing for us for ages! He is everywhere on the pitch defending and attacking. What a fantastic signing he is!

 

[Walrus]

He is cheating, I thought if you were RB you were only allowed to use your right foot? Needs to be careful or the ref may start picking up on it.

 

[sullydnl]

Looks nifty. Like.

 

[PvsNP]

No wonder Ancelotti wanted to keep him at Milan. Really talented lad.

 

[Traub]

My only gripe is that he doesn't wear the number 2.

 

[sullydnl]

Best of the new players today.

 

[ha_rooney]

Excellent PL debut. Very impressed by his defending.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Fantastic.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Excellent debut. Really like the look of him.

 

[Moby]

What a debut.

 

[dasty]

The whole defence looked dodgy once he is replaced by Valencia. Shows how much better of a RB Darmian is, Valencia is not even anywhere close to his standard.

 

[MDFC Manager]

It's Darmian you knowwww..hard to believe it's not Neville



Well, you get the point

 

[JonDahl]

Best player today.

 

[Ballache]

He's solid, this guy is gonna be a very very goo signing.

 

[van Persie]

Top, top quality. Absolute bargain.

 

[Manchie]

Man of the match along with Smalling today. Diiffence falling apart after his subsitution

 

[Sid234]

Impressed with his defensive awareness, kept Chadli out of the game till he went off. Last 10 minutes showed the difference between him and Tony V defensively, great buy from LvG

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Really liked his performance, solid defensively and a couple a decent crosses. Cringed when Valencia got caught under the ball and Smalling to bail him out.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Looks a good player, happy with his performance.

 

[Kostur]

Some miscommunication now and then that's understandable but his defensive qualities cannot be doubted.

 

[Dargonk]

Good debut from him today. Looked solid defensively. Doesn't look like he is going to be a driving force overlapping going forward. Instead being a more solid option that plays it simple and smart when going forward.

 

[Jed I. Knight]

The whole defence looked dodgy once he is replaced by Valencia. Shows how much better of a RB Darmian is, Valencia is not even anywhere close to his standard.

Yes, Valencia was caught out of position no less than two times within minutes of coming on. Didn't amount to anything, thankfully, but both situations could've become dangerous. That's the difference between a defensively good right back, and a half decent one. The former will open up space for potentially dangerous situations far less than the latter. Sometimes it can be hard to spot, too, as people tend to look at what happens where the ball is, which is only natural too. That's why it's so refreshing to see so many recognize Darmian's terrific debut.

 

[Cnaiür urs Skiötha]

Very good start. RB Position sorted for years to come.

 

[Cina]

I think I love him.

 

[m1y2]

Pleased with his defensive effort, expect more from going forward but overall looks decent prospect with a room for improvement.

 

[bishblaize]

Just class. Solid as a rock. You saw how good he was when Valencia replaced him.

 

[Varun]

Very very good.

 

[Twisted_Woody]

Great performance. Based on an enormous sample size of 1 game he is clearly the best of all the signings.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

We bent over as soon as he came off. I think it was coincidence, but his positioning was perfect.

You can tell he's been brought up in Italy.

 

[NecssryEvil]

Played like he's been here for years, great to see. MOM for me because of this although I understand why Smalling is leading the vote. Great to see him play well too.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Excellent from the Italian Gary Neville.

 

[Raoul]

Fantastic debut. Classy performance, and has a very good football IQ

 

[Scorpy]

Brilliant performance from the lad, a really intelligent player, who has great positioning.

 

[Baxter]

Class act. Fantastic signing.
