When he came on he was trying to lift and motivate the rest of the team.
His pressing was great and exactly what we needed.

Like that's he again another aggressive player, it was a promising looking 10 minute cameo in the circumstances. We don't have much choice other than starting him on Wednesday so look forward to seeing him then.
If he can be a poor man's Gini Wijnaldum for us (that's not meant to disparage him) maybe he'll want to make the move permanent.
I've no doubt he will. I'd say it's great playing for Teny.
He didn’t exactly need time to think about it either
I'm now wondering if we'll just sign Sabitzer and then a young player to backup Casemiro and grow into being a #8, like Onana or another early 20s player.
Eriksen/Sabitzer----Bruno (Fred, Sancho)
--------------------Casemiro(Onana)----------------
and McTominay out, Fred stays for one more year, maybe Mainoo and Iqbal both go on loan, though Mainoo is so young he might just stick around. Though a year for whoever is chasing promotion in League one and plays football makes sense too. Bolton looks perfect right? In a playoff spot so odds are they don't quite make it and they apparently play proper passing stuff under Evatt and he can live at home still.
Eriksen and Sabitzer fight for the #8 job and whoever is not starting is the backup #10 with Fred as the backup #8. Sancho gets time on the right, maybe Amad on loan to a Prem team or a Serie A or Ligue 1 side, or Pellistri leaves, Elanga on loan (seems to want to go) and since Rashford is the 3rd striker (one of Martial or Weghorst leave, a proper #9 comes in) you want a 5th winger anyways and that's Amad.
That tackle he made was a thing of beauty and it gets given as foul. Just when I think I can't have more contempt for Marriner, worst fecking ref in the league and that's some claim.
Was he a regular for Austria at the WC?
Can't remember ever seeing him play before
Looked a good player when he came on

Really can see him making immediate impact, like Eriksen. And he looks like a fecking unit, like an inflated Shaw.
Played like he was a first team veteran. Good signs!
Austria didn't qualify for the World Cup but yeah he's a first choice player for Austria I believe.
I love that we have got another solid character in, in addition to his ball playing ability. We are going to be very tough to play against with our spine of leaders. Hopefully him and Fred should suffice for the next 3 games
Is there a chance we could turn this into permanent deal?
He is exactly what we need - combative and good passing in midfield.
I presume there's a fairly good chance. He was already struggling to start for Bayern and I believe they've already signed another midfielder to come in for next season, so he will most likely be sold. If his loan period goes well then we've obviously got an advantage over most other clubs.
Best game and situation for his first game. He now knows what is expected from him.
And that wasn't a foul, Rashford would finish that 9/10, times.

Came in the right time. With Casemiro out for 3 games, perfect chance for him to step up.
Yes. When he is fit, he is in the starting 11. Until today 68 appearances (12 goals).
Such a great signing this - 28 in his prime, full international, lots of European experience, low risk, ready to slot in straight away.
Looks like sort of player we would normally miss out on and then fume that we missed out on him. Exactly what Liverpool need right now, surprised Klopp with his German connections wasn't all over this.

I liked the look of him a lot. Reminded me a bit of Schweinsteiger (pre OAP).
How does it work if we win the final and he plays in it. I’m assuming he’ll still get a medal right? Or is there a rule where you have to play so many games in it?
You play one game in the competition, you get a medal
Dubravka will get a medal if we win.
He is the type of player I want next to Cameroon to have that red wall in front of the defence, make us difficult to play against such that teams know its a long way back into the game the moment we go ahead. With Bruno and Sancho we shouldnt worry too much about creativity. If he impresses we are making the move permanent, I think.
That’s not bad then. So will Dubravka get a medal either way then? Or would he have to start for Newcastle?
He's Cup tied so he only gets one if we win
Very energetic and some nice touches. Now with Case out too we are lucky to have him
Yeah if you put the whole Cameroon NT on the pitch for us you'd have a wall for sure.
I don't quite know how this geezer has put all of that time into his tache and locks and can't even be bothered to slap the eye makeup on. A disappointment to the pirating community if I'm honest.
Possible although I reckon we will be back in for De Jong again so that will probably affect it.
Theres also a very real possibility that if he does well for us that Bayern will set a pretty hefty asking price.
Fecking typo, wanted to say him next to Casemiro!!Yeah if you put the whole Cameroon NT on the pitch for us you'd have a wall for sure.
He was clearly not important to Bayern, so if he does well here they’d be happy to recoup what they paid no doubt.
Let’s see how he does first though.

Don't think Nagelsmann rates him. But then again, doesnt Hasan Salihamidzic have the final say on transfers.
Also, Bayern will probably want to fund the Cancelo permanent deal in the summer and him alone will cost in the £50m region.

His energy when he's pressing looks relentless. Really promising showing.
That tackle will become a thing of legend.
I mean he was his captain at RB and he brought him in from there, pretty sure Nagelsmann rates him somewhat
Yeah absolutely,so frustrating we can't have him alongside Casa against Barca away
He was the one player Nagelsman wanted to sign´when he moved.
That it didn´t work right away, was based on a couple of mediocre games and then having kimmich goretzka in front of him.
Why not?
