Super performance from Angel today. Gives us that drive in midfield that we've been lacking for quite a while now, and compliments Blind and Herrera very well, in my opinion.
If we continue with this diamond formation, as well as the full back overlapping, he can also give us some natural width down the left and provide some great crosses into the box like he did today.

What a performance from Di Maria. Apart from a couple of times where he gave the ball away in a dangerous area, he had the sort of impact that i was hoping for. It's only his 2nd game, but if he can avoid the injury curse, he will be up there for the player of the year award. He is an absolute joy to watch.
Wonderful bit of skill, but not sure how that was not a foul.
If that gif could be translated into music that would be my ringtone!
He was excellent. I like it when he switches through the gears when he's running forward with the ball.
Hopefully going to be a big player for us for many years to come.

A steal! People said we didnt need him while he's EXACTLY what we needed!
He can be the player to make a difference in the team. He is not at 100% yet so there is a lot more to come. Truly exciting

To think, I was worried we'd 'waste' him in midfield and not play him on the wing 
Don't be too sure yet, the 3-5-2 might be back.To think, I was worried we'd 'waste' him in midfield and not play him on the wing
It's completely the opposite. It's a waste to play him wide.To think, I was worried we'd 'waste' him in midfield and not play him on the wing
I'm in shock that I've seen this line from a Liverpool fan, but took something to admit that, but then again we had to suffer Suarez's brilliance last year, you can suffer Angel's this year
Wasnt that hard to admit. Loved him at Real and great to see him in the prem. Admittedly softened by the fact that he hasn't fixed the key areas to worry me too much but that's for another thread.
Angel is a brilliant footballer.
Not at all. His best work today was out wide. This midfield diamond isn't as different to a 442 as a lot of people seem to think.
Couldn't praise our player without getting a dig in.
I think Herrera, Blind and Rojo were all signed to fix key areas too, as you may have seen today. Shaw didn't even play.
I think there were nerves initially or maybe
Reminded me of that pre season when Veron set up Ruud. Pity this one didn't fly in
What, like that massive glaring issue of our shite central midfield?
You're hilarious Dumby.
That depends Pogue how it's played to be fair.

Then I shall post my thoughts there. That's all the white text I have on Angel like I said.
Once the team gels around ADM and he's in top form, he can be just unstoppable
Pure class. I think once he comes to terms with the pace of the league, he will shine even more.
I never in a million years thought we would get him simply because I never thought that Real would sell him. I've admired him for a few years now and I am ecstatic that he is our no 7. He was absolutely amazing today and is exactly what we've needed! A True no 7 IMO. Can't wait for the next match.
Think we paid too much for him! -smug-
It's basically his own niche role. Central when we're defending or the ball is in our half/the middle and then you'll find him out wide when we have it in the final third. It's great too as it highlights all of his best attributes. 442 diamond is actually much closer to 352, you just have a holding midfielder instead of a ball-playing centre back (which is much better for us).
He pretty much played the excact same role he did last season. Shuttler on the left of a DM, with liberty to move about, go wide, dribble and float as he pleases - and with the tenacity to get back into the diamond shape when we lose the ball.
Starting him out wide in say a 4-3-3 would kill a lot of his good work and negates his ability to get into the areas he does so much of his good work I.E. the runs from deep with and without the ball straight through the middle. It's impossible to defend against. He still maintains the option to go wide.
Watching him and Rooney sprint the length of the pitch together then create a goal was great. I bet Rooney was getting flashbacks to playing alongside another United number 7 who also played for Madrid (no, not Michael Owen)

I love him
It was, but the referee gave advantage.
Rooney and Beckham never played together at Utd you senile old fecker!
You editing fecker. I had the England pic posted and all.
Aw you quoted after I edited it. How embarrassing for you.Yes they did.
Bellend.
Prob belongs in the unpopular opinions thread but I think this guy is a tad bit better than Ashley Young.
Letting this guy go will be Real Madrid's biggest mistake yet. Love him already and a serious contender to be present on the back of my new shirt
I am in love with this man already. The pass he did to Van Persie was out of this world. He had us counter attacking that reminded of the Ronaldo days and what we have seen Real Madrid doing in recent years.
Don't see how that is unpopular mate he's considered one of the best players in the world and I think everyone admits Young should be at best a squad player.
He's so good it's unreal.
A tenacious ball winning box-to-box midfielder, an intelligent playmaker and a world class winger all rolled into one?
Dear God what have Perez done.

Amazing isn't it? the only thing I'd say is suspect is his shooting, but in every single other area, I couldn't fault him. He's almost Christiano Ronaldo.

feck it, even his misplaced shots ended up in goal - the assist for Mata!
He's actually really good at moving inside from the right hand side and curling it in the far corner.
You'll see soon enough.
