Was really good, dominated the left side alongside Di Maria. Solid defensively, also contributed to our attacks.

I believe there's a lot more in his locker. It was a neat solid performance. Like it.
I still don't get why people assume Shaw will start and he will be moved to CB. If he is performing leave him to it and let Shaw win his place.
Because Rojo is primarily a CB and it's his best position, and he's probably the best CB we have.
Because he's mainly a center back and Shaw is class and will break in the team sooner rather then later.
Good solid start.
Our other CBs are generally crap?
We've lost our identity.
Especially towards the end when players were passing the ball here and there, just killing time..
perfect for the league. has a presence about him. really liked his runs into the box beyond di maria. if we had good CBs he would start ahead of shaw.
that being said needs to be careful about being overenthusiastic about tackling. needs to be calmer. missed a header and put the back line in danger at one point against QPR. cant afford to that against bigger teams.

I thought he had a good debut, some nice link-up play with Di Maria, lots of energy and defensively efficient. If you look at the two errors he was involved in I think De Gea and Blackett were as much, if not more to blame.
Very good on the ball. Didn't really have to do much defending, although there was a few hairy moments in the game (not just him, our defence as a whole), but got forward well, kept it well and made some very neat passes. I like him.
I think when Shaw gets back, I'm pretty sure Rojo will slot into where Blackett was playing today.

The way he links up with Di Maria, I don't think Shaw will have an easy time moving him from LB.
He will because Rojo will play as a central defender.
He's a bit good in the air isn't he?
Looking at Rojo today, and how much of a leader he seems, I think he needs to go straight into the middle as soon as possible. We massively lack any authority back there.
He's a beast, I love him!
Well luckily for him, he didn't have to make any real dangerous tackles at all. But he certainly showed everything else that you told us about!
Shaw certainly has a battle on his hands to get into the team. Or probably not, cuz you know that Evans is going to get injured soon anyway.
We've lost our identity.
Even worse, our soul.
I really like the look of him. He's aggressive, strong and very classy and composed on the ball on the ball. He's quite a good passer as well.
That was a good, solid debut and I'm sure there is more to come. I didn't know he is that strong in the air so I'm confident he can play as a CB as well
Fecking love the look of this fella. Really impressive debut. Him and Jones could be one hell of an aggresive and effective CB pairing.
Thought he did well and think he'll become a top defender in time. By the end of the game he looked like it was too easy for him, he was literally winning everything that fell within his area and nonchalantly distributing the ball.
Reminds me a lot like Heinze in his play. Well Heinze in his first season. Very aggressive, good in the air and decent going forward.
There was one bit, where he nonchalantly won the ball off a QPR player, turned and looked to have a short discussion with Blackett before passing it. No hassle.
The only problem is that if you put the two of them infront of a Diego Costa, there will be red cards and injuries.
I really liked how he 'just gone on with it' no dilly-dallying around taking 15 touches a la fletch/evans, just won the ball and passed it quickly.
Good stuff!
Good stuff!
Another who can be very pleased with their work today. Promising performance. Good to see.
Faultless with the ball today. Never tested defensively but great debut all the same. Lets hope he can defend aswell as he can play with the ball.
Rojo and Jones as a partnership if they stayed fully fit for 10-15 games would make us solid at the back again with Shaw and Rafael as wing backs we'd be great! Just getting Jones fit that seems to be the problem.
For Costa, hopefully.
Another good debut, but I loved him already before he had even kicked a ball for us
Once his understanding with DDG and our other defenders improves, our defence will be great!

The other thing is that he seems to be super excited to play for us. Broke out into a massive grin at the full time whistle! Showed no nerves at all though. Confident passing from the first minute
Great addition to the team.
Didn't really stand out for me which is why at LB with a diamond in front of him I'd have Shaw in the side for his greater attacking threat
More games like that will do very nicely.
He'll be tested far more and by far better opponents but it was a really good start and like others have said, he was hugely happy when Di Maria scored. Hopefully he can gel with the rest of the squad and we get some good team spirit building.

Looks good defensively but it's obvious he is a CB.
Couldn't have asked for a better fixture for him to make his debut. Had very little trouble, apart from the cluster f*ck with DDG in the 1st half, I'm sure that was just debut nerves though, I'm not worried.
Looked solid overall and a character to boot. I like him.
