He knows the drill

Great goal, chuffed for the lad.
I thought he was destined to start his United journey out on loan at a Championship side but Powell has the power!
looks a very grounded lad. will prove a solid player for us.
very happy we got him.
very happy we got him.
Very well taken goal, good first touch to get away. His shooting is already top notch
The guy is a sensational finisher from distance. His passing is way off though, anyone else think that he will end up as an attacker?
first premier league match, give him some time to get his passing right. it isn't easy.
His passing was pretty accurate, just couldnt read runs yet
This will come with playing more often with the lads
So we sold Gibson and then bought Gibson?

Who's that German number 9?
Samed Yesil
Transferred to Liverpool this summer for a million quid...
Wait what?
Very well taken goal, but I thought his passing was somewhat off. But I think that'll come as he spends more time here. The goal should've done with any nerves he had
he still has a lot to learn and he have the right people around him to learn from in carrick and scholes . There is one area though he don t need any lectures in....and that's shooting from distance. He was so confident striking that ball, that he made it look too easy.
Why?
Its a buyback deal, basically a loan.
this.
Yeah he needs to get used to the kind of moment and passes expected of top professionals in the game. I'm sure some of these passes that dont have the correct weight or seem to be at the right time to release players, his former team mates probably got on the end of them because the games werent as tight and his team mates were expecting them.
At the top level he's going to learn to adjust this.

Lads, I know we normally have to pour cold water on expectations, but some of you need to get a bit more excited about this lad. He was only on the field a few minutes and we were already 3-0 up. He didn't have time to get the radar turned on, but the run and finish for that goal was something to be really optimistic over. Delighted for him!
When Scholes retires (again) I hope the club hire him just to follow Powell around 24/7. He could learn a ton from him both on and off the pitch.
This! It would have have been easy for him to be rash with that chance but he took it with remarkable composure. You cant buy that kind of composure and that bodes really well. He'll sort out his passing game in time.
Why?
Also Sami Hyppia is Bayer Leverkusen's manager so got him on the cheap
Chuffed to bits for him.
18 years old, scoring a crackerjack on debut at home at Old Trafford. Some nice tackles and midfield positional play too. He did not look out of place. It simply cant get any better.
Good looking lad too ... in a few years time, hopefully he can marry a winner from the X-Factor and so become our new boy hero!

His first match as a midfielder, in a new team, at a level far higher than he has ever played before. Its understandable
Gibson
Ha! Though tbf Gibson is a bit of a shoot-on-sight customer. This guy on the other hand seems to have a bit more composure about him!
Touche!Erghhh. But we did
Gibson
Gibson needed about 40 to get 1 on target in his final season at United
Can see likenesses to Lampard in him
If he scores half the goals Lampard has, we'll be delighted

Some nice vision for the passes, and some nice long passes, but overall his pass execution was poor. He needs to learn from Carrick and Scholes how to do the simple things well.
Nomen omen, great name, great player.
Very well taken goal today, nice feint and cracking strike, that should settle him in nicely and hopefully he gets another run out in the cup game.
Very high praise from Fergie
You are preaching to the converted. I said this back in the threads embryonic days:
A bit surprised , Fergie seems to think he can fill Scholesy's boots so early!
His goal was similar to Rooney's vs Wolves last season, but Powell's was further out. Excellent goal.
New Lampard or new Gibson?
Said the same about Ando...
New Carrick.
He scores more than Carrick, by a long way too.
He is already better than Gibson, DG has never scored goals of the quality that Powell has in his short career. Powell will also sometimes pull off a sweet bit of skill, again something that Gibo can only dream of doing. Powell also has some pace about him.
He has the potential to be as prolific as Pard from midfield, and that, for me is the closet likeness. Powell is no clone of anyone though.
Gibson scored a few crackers.
