His passing from the back was a reason we managed to keep the tempo up high and retain the pressure through out the game.

Yes he is a little risky at times, but his style of play is very important for the way we want to perform.

This. A consistent partner that communicates and covers well will be instrumental for the way we currently play.

I find that he passes forward like a left back, pacy and into feet. There's a risk of interception infield but he pulls it off the majority of the time and it kickstarts our attacks well.
 
I think he's turning into a very, very good player for us. Very impressed with what he does.
 
So Rojo survived Stoke? Good to hear.
 
Very very good tonight. Don't think he put a foot wrong.

Why mention Barney specifically? I remember plenty of United fans saying the same. For example Leroy the red. You guys need to be more patient. I still mantain my stance. He will become a fan favourite.

I think most United fans have seen that he is steadily improving.
 
I really like him. Has those audacious moments, he's not a slouch, he's forceful, he tries to play the ball and he's not too bad at defending either.

I think he's got a mistake in him...but he's not quite David Luiz so it's fine.
 
Cheeky cnut with that goal :lol:

Love the guy though, he's my #1 CB easily. Composed on the ball, he's like a fecking bullterrier chasing his strikers all over the pitch making them literally cry. There was a fantastic moment showing his technical ability around 70th minute or so, he's blocked or kicked the ball up in the air, DDG wanted to claim it but he showed him to go away and killed the ball on the ground to start an attack from the back.

Great player to have.

Van Gaal will work on that. He already did his work on his disciplinary problems. He will be a very useful player for United.
 
His distribution forward to is impressive, not afraid to hit a players feet even when they're man is near which opens up space. Still don't think he'll be the world beating defender we need but he's good.
 
I sure hope he turns out to be Vida 2.0 in essence. Different type of players obviously but like Nemanja he could be one to take our central defense up a notch after a less than ideal start to the league, alongside Shaw = Evra. :devil:

It's ok, good is enough for now. The era of defensively rock solid defenders seems like a thing of the past. Rojo is more of a defender/ midfielder hybrid with his rather excellent distribution, something that seems to be in vogue these days. Once he gets a more extended with a central defensive partner, I wouldn't be surprised in he turns out to be a Godin level player somewhere down the line.
 
I really like him. It's difficult to build up much of an impression on the basis of a mere 90 minutes, but he genuinely seems to love it at United and his manner on the pitch seems to indicate that.

That's what made me like Rojo at Sporting (excluding his antics when he left us for United). He gives his absolute all for the team, is always incentivating his teammates and is a positive player even when things aren't going well. I see he has been working on his disciplinary problems (with Van Gaal's influence) which was something that made the supporters adopt a bipolar stance in relation to him. He's maturing with this new experience at England.
 
He's a very direct centre back. Always looking to take the ball forwards, even if it means putting the shits up us supporters. Really liking his style.
 
I don't know why but during the match, I wanted him to kick stoke's players in the teeth to show them who's the boss.
Another solid performance. Hope he can stay fit
 
88% pass accuracy, plenty of balls forward, failed just the most difficult ones.

Him and Smalling work very well together. As soon as Chris stopped being forced to play it from the back and he let Rojo take care of it, he's been getting a lot less abuse about his shit hoofballing.
 
I hope he can keep improving at this rate because it's almost visible game by game. Imagine the potential :drool:

I also like his no nonsense approach to tackling. He seems to enjoy taking ball and man, like an old fashioned center back.
 
He's incredibly likeable. Today was easily his best performance so far for us, and it looks like him and Smalling are starting to build a really nice partnership.
 
He's the defender we've needed to sign and LvG has spotted him and signed him. I love him. Hard as nails, composed, excellent at passing the ball long down field, and he's got good aerial ability. Not perfect but another solid game tonight and him and Smalling should be our first choice pairing from now on.
 
I know he's a bit inconsistent but the one bit that is consistent is his composure on the ball and rather than hoofing it ala Rio (good lord could he hoof!) he aims low passes to available feet.
