Great game tonight, Man of the match for me but obviously no problems with Haaland getting it considering he got a Hattrick.

 

[OB1]

That is one impressive first full game but it's not a surprise.

 

[Revolver]

Blimey. Early days but he looks good. Our scouts have done a great job finding and signing him.

Hopefully he will be the third great Argentinian striker after Sergio and Tevez. Early days though.

They said the jump from ARG Primera to the PL was YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

Always wait to see how big the jump is,IMO.
Some will take to it and some wont.
Read from about page 7 on this thread mate.....some comments...Jesus.

He’s Electric

He’s in a family full of eccentrics

 

[MichaelBBack]

Absolutely fantastic. Love the power and precision he puts into his shots, and his movement off the ball is phenomenal. Terrific work rate too. Obviously he's gonna be in Haaland's shadow just because of what Erling can do, but he looks a real player and would probably already be talked about as a potential "value signing of the season" if he happened to play in red.

 

[Phil1]

Had held off giving any real opinion on him before now because I wanted to see him for myself playing a full 90 minutes.
Yeah, he's fucking ace isn't he!! :-)

I know its an easy and lazy comparrison to make but both those finishes tonight were perfect Aguero goals....the type he made a career of scoring.

The second especially was some finish...

This guy can be as good as Haaland

 

[River Plate]

As a River fan I'm so happy that Julian seems to have been able to translate his game to the premier league almost seamlessly. The non-stop press, the short-space acceleration, the link-up play, and cracking finishes with either foot. This is what he used to do for us game in and game out. You have a special one, take care of him.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

His finishes were great but what sets him apart is what he does off the ball. He doesn’t stop. He presses, he gets involved in the mad swarm to stop counters when they’re breaking, he comes short, he goes in behind, he goes left, he goes right, he sniffs chances in the box. He deserves to be a success for this work rate and attitude.
