Jesus Christ. You're hard to please.

Debuts are never easy, but he was fine. Some signs of quality, for sure. Absolutely crucial tracking back at one point, potentially saving us conceding a goal.

He's an absolute quality player that I can't believe has signed for us... Perhaps your expectations are for a debutante to come on as a sub for half a hour, take on five players and score a screamer into the top corner... but in reality, he's playing a new team, in a new country, in the toughest league in the world... and he did just fine.

I mean, I’d prefer someone on debut not to completely miss a ball gently rolled to him, presenting the opposition with their best chance of the entire game when they’ve created basically nothing. That’s probably my minimum expectation, I apologise if that’s too much to ask for.

That was Mitoma, not Ferdi.

Placed a peach of a pass through to Adingra (?) which split the defence. Was absolute top quality and perfectly executed. Impressed.

FFS. We know he's a good player based on his performances for Turkey and Fenerbahçe.

Surely, our fans aren't going to start writing him off after a debut off the bench, are we?

A1X said:

I’m not writing him off. But it was a poor display and I would challenge anyone to seriously deny that.

I don’t think the performance was quite as bad as A1X is alluding but the mis control was defo Ferdi

I had expected for 35 million he would stop it, do a flick up and volley it into the top corner.

Maybe the Amex atmosphere after Fenerbahce was to much for him

Don’t anyone's writing him off, (at least I hope not!), but he was very poor, and interestingly used his right foot a lot…..

(I realise he can play both, but he has said LB is his preference)

Seagull27 said:

Probably because he's right footed.

Surprised by some comments here, I thought he did fine and showed promise of the quality he has. Yes there was that once miscontrol, but then he ran back the length of the pitch and did enough to stop their man getting a decent shot off. Made up for it.

3 of his first 4 contributions either went out or lost possession.

He is the one signing that really excites me
