[Devil may care]

Superb on the ball, very smooth for a CB, only made one error so far.

 

[DevilRed]

Can't ask for more from a teenage defender. Hopefully he keeps it up in the second half.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Very good. Passing is great.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Absolutely terrific performance from McNair so far, I thought. Particularly given it's his first game in two months. He's got a good shout for being our best (and certainly most composed) CB on the ball.

Impressive stuff from him. Definitely the most natural on the ball out of all the defenders.

 

[Red Shorts]

He's an odd one; he sometimes makes a great run forward, but then other times he has several good options to pass to then gets scared and goes back to DDG. Good half for someone who hasn't played in a while against the top team.

 

[prateik]

He started off as an attacking midfielder... so him being good on the ball isnt really that surprising.
He looks more confident now.. and looks bigger too. Bulked up as the caf would say.

 

[the hea]

A very good performance from him so far he is so calm with the ball. I can see him being a big favorit or LVG in the future.

 

[Scrumpet]

I'm impressed.

 

[FromTheBench]

Very assured. Didn't look out of place once.

 

[Raoul]

Impressive performance. Looks wise beyond his years.

 

[KM]

Very, very impressive performance.

 

[ha_rooney]

Impressive performance. Think LVG will turn him into a very good player.

 

[Manny]

Good performance from him particularly in the first half.

Should start ahead of Jones if he plays like that week in week out

 

[Hed Zitin]

Should be proud of that and Smalling.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Good performance from him particularly in the first half.

Should start ahead of Jones if he plays like that week in week out

Settle down now. He had little defending to as Chelsea sat in. He was great on the ball but despite the opposition and venue it was not the hardest game for the centre backs.

 

[RDCR07]

What a performance from the kid. I actually thought he might be the weakest link today. Proved me wrong.

 

[khoazany]

I actually think he' still a bit safe at times.I know he's capable of being more adventurous than this whilst not screwing it up.Should start in those games that we're expected to dominate possession as he can offer something valuable on the ball.

 

[Devil may care]

Couldn't ask for more from him, excellent on the ball and showed good nous on more than one occasion to cut a pass out.

 

[girish]

He didn't have a lot of defending to do, but he did pretty much everything well.

 

[Earthquake]

Bit of a beast, his forward runs are far better than Smalling or Evans.

 

[#07]

McNair was very accomplished today. His early season promise hasn't faded. Very bright future ahead of him.

 

[Sweet Square]

Couldn't watch the game today(shitty internet)but he's improved massively this season(recent performances in the u21 have been very good)

 

[Walrus]

Our second best player today (to Shaw) in my opinion. Was confident on and off the ball, didnt seem overawed by the occasion in the slightest.

I was impressed by him at RB a few months ago, and was impressed with him at CB today. Seems like a real prospect.

Yeah. Save it for the home games, I'd say.

 

[united_99]

Kid was really good and also impressive on the ball.

 

[Eriku]

What a first season he's having. The way he carried the ball forward and spread it out to the left wing was absolutely marvellous. Not to mention his two cracking efforts at goal. Struck the ball clean as you like.

 

[Cassidy]

Good game from that lad today

 

[settembrini]

He was great. His development is one of the reasons I don't think we need a new centre back.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Thought he was excellent... second behind Luke Shaw in MOTM terms.

 

[Raw]

What a big job he's had to do today, and he's done well. I'm not sure if we should send him on loan somewhere or keep him and give him some games at United.

He's got potential that's for sure.

 

[ThanksBoss26]

Did well. Hope he can keep developing.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Could we mould him into the new Carrick?.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Could we mould him into the new Carrick?.

Christ on a bike! Should we not try to mould him into a first team defender competing for a place when all are fit before that!

 

[Scrumpet]

Surprised by his composure, deserves to keep his place.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Christ on a bike! Should we not try to mould him into a first team defender competing for a place when all are fit before that!

Why? hes clearly better on the ball than most CBS and lets face it he will get more time as a DM than a CB!

 

[Manchie]

Very impressive today, so composed and accurate passes throughout the game

 

[RDCR07]

This kid definitely has a future here. Hope he keeps improving. Hummels-Rojo, Smalling-Jones and Mcnair should have our centre backs for next year.

 

[Sied]

I think he could have a top future ahead of him. Very impressed today.

 

[Varun]

Very good today. Pleasantly surprised

 

[mu77]

um the kid was very cool. not looking to hide. did very well.

This was Chelsea away! I think we're expected to dominate every game now...
