Contributed to one of the best first half performances I've seen from city. Will get better if he learns to use his hands.

he is smart and will learn quickly. his distribution will keep us on the front foot. And not many teams will trouble us as much as rags did today.

Shaky today and needs to bulk up a bit. But his passing was indeed top class.

He'll learn a lot from this being his first match. Glad he was thrown in and, in the end, glad it worked out with the win.

He made some good contributions to our possession in the first half, but it's one of the shakiest debuts I've seen...............ever..... considering what he was seemingly brought in for.

The saving grace was that he didn't actually have any saves to make from what I recall, but he has got to get to grips with the pace sharpish as every manager will be putting him under pressure now.

Good managers don't publicly humiliate, especially in the face of the sky rag brigade! I say well played Pep.

I would ask people not to listen to the mass hysteria that is sweeping social media. The guy will be fine and is top quality. Yeah he struggled today but he is not the first player to struggle in a Derby. He will learn a lot from today and IMO that will stand him in goodstead. Let's all get behind him on Tuesday and give him a decent welcome to the club.

True. One of the best players in the world, Ronaldo, never did anything in a Derby match and always went in to hiding or reverted to getting sent off so he didn't have to cope with the pressure.

I'm not asking him to humiliate or slag him off. But he didn't need to double down on it either. He's not Maureen blaming everyone but himself.

Do you remember Evra and Vidic? They had shockers. And Mkhitaryan today who was dog shite and got hooked.

Despite his mistakes, he made a better fist of it than Pogba! Same goes for Evra on his debut.

Like I said, I think he was just being protective of him. No need to add any fuel to that fire.

Evra also had his debut in the derby, got torn a new one by SWP and he turned out alright.

Hope his confidence hasn't been dented, but doubt we will face many teams this year who press him like that

I like Bravo.

Unlucky to concede (a little blame on Stones there) from a soft moment but overall I like the idea of the passing GK. Ended the game with something like 3 less passes in the game than Rooney, unheard of for a GK, something very new in this division.

I'll take the dodgy moments, i think the passing will be of greater benefit long term.

Oh and also remember he has had one training session with the players, probably couldn't even remember all the names!

Oh and remember De Gea in the first months at the swamp flapping at everything... yeah, and he's still rubbish right......

He made one I think when off a decent United build up play where Ibra struck the ball that he caught with his body/arms.
