I'm sure Marco will give his number to De Rossi if it means so much.

this forum really turns into a steaming pile of shite during the summer

[OneMoSalah 8,788]

so he gets 16 which means we wont sign De Rossi... great logic. We've just signed Schwartzer but he always wore #1 at Fulham wowowowowoowowowowo Cech out guys...... naaaaaat calm down.

Fighting about number again?

Just... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

If he plays as well as he did in dutch league he will be fine. His development so far reminds me of oscar as they seem to get better with more games played. They both can form a really technically formidable midfield which along with a proper DM can provide an option to Mazacar.

Apparently his singing initiation took place last night. No word on what he sang though

Probably at dinner with everyone when essien was dancing

I saw a few people giving him a lot of praise for today, but honestly for me I expected a bit more of him. His passing was sloppy and he seemed reluctant to make forward runs.

Of course it is too early to judge him, but it's too early to hype him as well.

There was virtually no space for him to run into. I'm not sure if you noticed but the opposition were camped inside their own half from start to finish. Why clog things up further by running into a congested area? Smart on his part to play restrained and probe from deeper.

I thought he looked OK. He made some decent passes and he looked very mobile and quick.

I still think there were instances where he could have helped out more in attack. On any account, it's too early to judge and I hope he can put in better performances in the coming games.

This^^^^ He was quick with his decision making and passing and never looked to slow down the game for one second. I like that about him. We need to get rid of that slow aimless passing at times last season

To be fair he was playing next to Ramires who we all know likes to get forward, I presume because of this Marco played deeper to account for Rami's attacking runs.

passing was sloppy????????? every single pass he made was successful except for one crossfield ball to ivanovic that went over his head.

He literally had 3 passes that went out of bounds. As well as a few missed other.

But that is of course excusable as it was his first game and he was probably nervous.

I didn't know he was so big, has a big presence in midfield. He looked ok in his half, I did like his one touch positive passing. He didn't really do anything Essien didn't do though.

I think he played well, he played as the more disciplined defensive midfield player so he didn't make forward runs so the team had some balance. I think your being a bit harsh on his passing, his passing was quite good and it was varied.
