He gave Mourinho an excuse to start ivanovic again, he didn't blow away everyone like RLC did

So many mixed reactions. I thought he was very impressive. Few dodgy crosses but apart from that was very impressed. Naturally attacking LB. Made several good runs and with more matches think he will excel. Looking forward to seeing him and Hazard link up more. Will help Hazard.

A bit nervous tonight but he will get better when he settles at the club

First game and definitely needs time to grow into the team. But thought he seemed a bit shaky defensively against a poor side.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

He is already better than Ivanovic and can only improve his game. Come on Jose, take another step in the right direction and start him and Azpi so we can have additional attacking outlet in our two 'natural' full-backs.

Considering it was his debut, played great, few lapses in concentration but our left side looked so much bettter, equally as good as our right side.

[Special Juan 28,132]

Can't fault the lad, loved how he constantly wanted to go forward but his energy to get back was a real injection of pleasure to see.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

He has the energy of a proper full-back. Bombing up and down the pitch with stamina and speed is what we haven't had since cole. He just needs to have better deliveries.

But I was concerned that Hazard ignored lots of his runs and passed to the tight middle or passed back. I guess hazard isn't used to that much overlapping yet, hopefully they play more together to have a better understanding.

Better then Iva in all.

thought he he had a pretty good game, nervous start which is natural but i thought he grew more confident as the game went on. on the plus side did you notice how well Azi did bombing down the right with pace and not putting aimless crosses into the box.

Exactly. Ivanovic made us all think that it was some sort of Mourinho tactics to be a crossing aimlessly.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He was bit sloppy in passing and raw at defending at times, but generaly made good job considering it was his debut.

I would play him ahead of Iva. Iva might be more experienced and ready for big game, but he is in terrible form and Alexis will destroy him.

Baba vs Arsenal for me, but wont happen IMO.

Sanchez plays on the left.
