Does he play this role better than Carrick?
For me he's one of the first names on the team sheet.
Clearly the best of the summer signings. And he was the cheapest.
Yep. Bargain.
He's so pwerty
Said it before, our best summer transfer by miles. Probably followed by Rojo.
Looking good again. Should always be starting in that role.
That ball to van Persie was a peach as well. I was waiting for him to bring back that type of delivery we saw in the World Cup, and he duly did so. Now can we please keep to the diamond with him as anchor?
No surprise we play with more attacking intent with a forward thinking player like Blind.
He keeps it simple, he knows how to give passing options to his teammates and he applies good pressure after a lost ball.
Brilliant thus far.
Solid so far.
Would like to see more forward passes
Would like to see more forward passes
He had one to diMaria/Falcao vs West Brom I remember.
He's better than Carrick. I'd rather see him start than Carrick, in all honesty. They're both very good but Blind is more attack minded than Carrick which is needed when we're playing against the weaker teams of the league.
<3 What a player
Against any team outside the top 6, he needs to be playing at DM. At home? he needs to be playing against any opposition at DM. Excellent performance.
Tidy little player for 12 million or whatever.
Watch how often he comes deep to get the ball. We are so much better at moving the ball because he helps out the defenders.
Breaking up play very well too.
Breaking up play very well too.
Better than Carrick in every showing this season for me. He actually tries to win the ball, Carrick just shields the defence and therefor invites pressure. He is also more attacking minded in his passing, whilst being almost flawless.
The lad is brilliant. It's so pretty to see him make himself available and just pass it on.
Carrick's passing range is greater but Blind has more 'buzz'. His energy, mobility and dynamism are things Carrick lacks. We've got more oomph with Blind at #6.
In the very first minute he had a go at Jones for passing it back to DDG when Jones could have given Blind a simple pass as there was no need to go back. Good to see.
The only thing Carrick has over Blind is his organisational skills. You see him organising people around him and Blind doesnt do that, he just gets on with his job
He just understand the game, he is one of the best player at reading the game too. He is essential for us, now.
I saw that too, it tells you about his positive mindset.
I said it before in the other thread, carrick's injury is a blessing in disguise. Blind simply better in the anchor role.
great stuff from him so far. looks a bargain now for the price. literally Carricks heir.
£13.8M for Blind......A big plate of humble pie for me!
I think this will come in time, its his first season with us after all
Referring to him and RvP
Our best summer signing. Who would've predicted he'd be the most important out of all big name summer signings.
Yeah exactly, just talking about what you get with the two players right now and why Carrick was probably put back in when he got fit
Basically a Carrick with a bit more attacking intent and end product having cost less. Couldn't have asked for more
Found it funny when the commentator said that Utd fans ask "what does he do ?"
Man crush. Brilliant signing.
Masterclass.
