So composed and so clever at changing the tempo, hopefully he starts from now on.

Start him against Newcastle. Looked so comfortable when him and Ander came on.
What a player, we've needed this for so long.
Bossed the game when he came on. Love the man.

Being able to bring him on when Carrick gets tired is a BLESSING!
This.
Time to start him, me thinks. Even if he's lacking the fitness to play the full 90.
We strolled to that win with him on the pitch
You see it in every gesture: He is a leader. (For example: When he won a tackle today and let the ball to Luke Shaw and Shaw didn't play it quickly enough, Schweinsteiger yelled at him. I like that.)
When he came on today, we became a much better team. I bet that we see him in the starting eleven against Brugge and that he came off after 60 minutes.

He's definitely done enough to justify a start against Brugge. Edged out Carrick in that position despite being on the pitch for only half the time.
If we keep him fit he'll be like Scholes was in the twilight of his career except he can actually tackle and stuff.
Great tonight controlled the midfield.
I think he will take Carrick's place in the team. I don't think Carrick - Schneiderlin works very well.
...or just quality depth but we should really take that as a blessing before Champions League matches. One of the keys to the successful seasons.I love him.....that is all.
Seriously though, his composure, leadership and class are something we could do with for a full game. Hope he can get there!

Brilliant when he came on. Get him in the team.
A master.
On today's performance he deserves to start ahead of Carrick.
Me too
Needed someone to kick ass - it's good for the young players to be around him.
Great cameo imo.
Really good showing once he came on. He should replace Carrick if he's capable of playing 90 minutes.
Beast of a player, massive addition to the squad. He's almost there fitness wise too
I hope he can get fit and stay fit, because he could be a truly phenomenal player for us. Beautiful vision, composure, strength; you name it and he has it. We'll need to watch his minutes, but color me impressed with this half-fit Schweini.
Very impressed with him tonight,long may it continue.
Good performance. Can't wait till he's fully dusted off his ring rust. Needs to stay fit.
He was immense when he came on. Nothing spectacular, just really composed and controlled the game. Before he came on we were a mess for the 15 minutes before and then we were strolling after he came on. I really hope he's fit enough to start games soon, he'll make a huge difference
We took complete control as soon as he stepped on to the pitch.
This is what he was signed for. Class.

You just know he's going to bring a couple of MOTM performances in the big games.
I'm laughing at how good he is. He actually strolls through games and looks head and shoulders above when he comes on. He controls the pace of a game so well. Never looks rushed.
7m
what a fecking player, class above anyone else on the pitch and in our team in general.

Metronomic.
There is no other way to put it.

Wow. Master at controlling the game and the tempo.
Class.
has to start.
Looked great today. Will only get better once he gets more fit. Clearly a class apart in midfield when he came on, the vision and technique he showed on multiple occasions sticking out. Hopefully he stays fit, as he will be an automatic starter and the best midfielder in the league when fit. Just needs to be managed properly.
Absolute quality. Calmness he brings on the pitch transmits to others around it.
Doesnt panic with the ball at his feet. Calm, composed. So happy we signed him
He really shows he came from a very technical team and was an important player when fit.
When him and Herrera came on we took control. That is the midfield we have wanted since the summer.
An absolute Rolls Royce of a player. He could well be our most important player this season.
"Such an old man", "completely past it", "going to constantly get injured" etc
Absolutely bossed it today. What a fecking player.

His awareness of whats going on around him and his calmness on the ball is lovely to watch. Another two or three games now and he should have the cobwebs fully shaken off, then the midfield department will be well sorted.
