[Nigels Tackle]

love this guy

[sheblue]

Yep excellent debut.

[Tokyo Blue]

A very good first game but it is only one game.

[Dameerto]

He's bloody rapid. Excellent debut, more of the same please.

[ruralblue]

Solid start to say he's been thrown in at the deep end. Him and Kompany looks solid together just hope this continues.

He's got good pace as well.

[phips]

good enough debut that, apparently, he deserved a fourth thread

[ant london]

Joe Mangle rocked the gaff today. Brilliant

Love him. A pure athlete. Running backwards at full speed and still manages to out-jump costa by 3 feet

if it annoys you, it's a good thing

but wasn't a good enough comment to be said twice

[nottsblue]

As debuts go and in the context of the importance of the game a fully assured masterclass. Worth the wait. He will grow from this and form a great partnership with Vinnie.

Note to Woodward, thats how to spend your money

Seriously. The man's got some serious hops.

As for the love fest ...a lot here doubted the signing, like fernandinho as i recall, and there has been a lot of anticipation to see what he can do. To come in for this type of game and perform as he did is a very nice way to show us what he can do. We are going to be very difficult to score against this season, especially from set pieces, which some teams' certainly rely upon to win.

[PeterParker]

He looked perfect today, quick, solid, i might say, as good as Vinnie in his best days. But let”s keep it together.

Remember how Garcia had his debut at Stoke.

What an absolute cunt this guy is. He must have had the living shit kicked out of him in school.

The most annoying bellend on this site by a country mile.

OT - Mangala was fucking immense. Best debut I've seen from a city player since aguero's.

[Nick]

good debut.

feel sorry for martin.

Still think we could play him CM in front of martin ;).

surely yaya deserves to be dropped now?

[Blue Since 76]

Thought he was shit. No idea what he does. Waste of space. Would prefer Garcia at centre half.

Think that should cover all the bases for the rest of the season, as surely it's downhill now from that performance

I'm getting a horrible sense of de javi

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

A very good first game but it is only one game.

You think he'll get worse?

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Not been this impressed with a debut since Aguero. Fucking brilliant.
