Playing great. Team is playing great, im jizzing
Good debut so far. Keeping it simple in possession and not wandering out of his zone.
QPR playing like shit, but still... very good debut.

Love what I'm seeing so far. But he's got minimal work to do in fairness. His passing is great though.
Early days, but he looks like he could be invaluable to us in the holding role in midfield, especially until we get a better option like Strootman (hopefully).
EDIT - Though we can't place too much emphasis on it. QPR have been the footballing equivalent of a corpse in the hands of a necrophiliac.

Both him and Herrera must be annoying to play against. Always snapping at your heels.
Noticed that. he fell down two-three times when trying to tackle.
Wonderful half.
His anticipation is excellent
The Dutch Carrick
We'll play them both with Herrara
Quality.
Needs to spend some time in the gym. Other than that he is brilliant
Gonna be our most important player this year. We're keeping the ball so so much better. Might struggle under more pressure but with this diamond we can just rotate 90 degrees and have herrera at the base instead. It's been quite fluid.
But yeah it's great to finally have a cm that seems to be able to come and get the ball off the defence and act with the ball really quickly

He is just what we needed and now we can just watch and enjoy how he is dictating the game from the back.
Really good on the ball he's barely made a bad pass, He's not going to bully a midfield with tackles and strength but I can see his defensive qualities, he seems to have great awareness.
fecking hell, we seem to finally have some real quality through the middle I can't believe it.

Gets the job done with minimal fuss. I like it.
Him and Herrera really show how terrible the Cleverley/Fletcher/Anderson crew have been.
Apparently we signed three left backs this summer...
...I love how the media can be so ignorant. Would have killed them to look at the many tapes of Blind playing well as a holding midfielder, like he's doing now for us, last season for Ajax?

Fast distribution and cover for Herrera while attacking. Check. Tactical awareness. Check.
Fully efficient for Van Gaal in the debut. Good price for a good Dutch player.

Brilliant player, great debut so far.
Said it before, reminds me of Hargreaves so much.
Exactly what we've been missing.

Passes like a boss. Perfectly weighted and pin point accuracy.
Not a fashionable buy by any means, but he's going to be one of our most important players this season.
Very enthusiastic debut game from him. He's certainly keen to impress. I think he can become something of a crowd favourite here
Solid and with more time under his belt will grow in confidence im sure. Love the fact that he looks like he can run all day and isn't afraid to put in a challenge. Exactly the type of "water carrier" we need for all that attacking talent upfront.
He sort of plays like he doesn't know how slow he is, running around closing down like a nutter and that. Looking good so far.
Like a mixture of Hargreaves and Carrick, very encouraging start.
He might be more of a utility player after watching his first half performance. His energy and ability to cover gaps in the midfield reminds me if Fernandiho at City or Hagreaves in his prime. If he keeps this up, he will be an influential part of our midfield.
Really impressive debut thus far.
He's the player I've been most pleased with so far. You knew what you were getting with Di Maria but Blind is a bit more unknown. He'll have much tougher games but we need a player in that position that just moves the ball on quickly and effectively. He's done it very well. No more than one or two touches every time he got it.
I love him. Not the type to light up the show, but a very important piece of the puzzle nonetheless.
Give him a contract for life
Fantastic debut. Didn't think he would cover that much of the pitch.
Got outmuscled a couple of times but overall a very impressive first half from him.
I like how that Herrera and Blind are always hassling midfielders.
I think he'll be seen as an upgrade on Carrick. Still maybe not as good Carrick with his passing range, but he knows how to pick a quick pass and keep things moving. Doesn't take too much time on the ball and that's everything our midfield hasn't been for a while now.
He'd be one of all-time DM greats, if he were.If he keeps this up I might admit I was wrong!
He's having a blinder!
Nobody's said that yet, right?
