Too early to judge but this thread is quiet for a reason...he is doing nothing noteworthy yet. I want to see his WC form, atm he just looks like a worse Willian bar that header which the GK was always gonna save anyway. Just hope it doesn't take him too long to settle in, really don't want him to become a Willian/Ramires hybrid.

Needs time, I think it's obvious that he wants to be the player who doesn't make a mistake more than the player who stands out, this attitude will change when he's more comfortable.

Also the Italian league to PL is insane in the differences.

Aston villa, Everton and PSG were largely useless games to go by

I don't know if he was operating under some instructions to keep pushing through the middle...never seemed to make an attempt to beat the wide man and put in a cross. In fact, I recall only 1 cross from him the entire game (which led to a corner).

Also, I don't know why we never attempt to do something basic, like push out wide and swing in a cross. Now we have a player that can do it and he just tries to exchange passes through the middle. Whereas teams like United keep swinging in crosses like mad.

That's not really working out for them.

Our main striker who would be the one getting those crosses to him is Diego Costa, who is too small and doesn't have that aerial ability needed.

I know, they are an extreme case, but that doesn't mean we have to be the polar opposite. Costa is far from below average when coming to heading and height is NOT an excuse. The lad is only an inch shorter than Terry and Drogba. And I'm not just talking about high crosses, I'm talking about low ones, cutbacks, et al.

Wasn't great yesterday, but a few times he made a good run and the pass just wasn't there for him.

Really encouraging to see the understanding he has already built with Hazard, and I'm sure it will come with the other AMs.

Hopefully when he becomes more comfortable he'll start taking a few more defenders on!

While its waaay too soon to say anything, I hoped for slightly more from Juan so far.

30m is 30m after all.

23+ Salah on loan for free who is showing he is worth probs 15m himself but yh I agree he needs to do more.
