Quiet 1st half with too man long balls played up to him, but great hold up play in the 2nd half and took the weight off Tevez. Great touch for a big man. He's got a lot more to his game than just a goal-scoring threat as his assist showed. He could have scored at end of 1st half but his shot was blocked, and perhaps should have done better with a chance in the 2nd.Bert Trautmann's Parachute said:

I'm so glad we signed this guy. I think he will become a legend at City.
Won his fair share of headers, had good control and looked to involve others in the play. He showed flashes of skill. I also liked the fact that at 1-0 down he chased after the ball to get it to their keeper so time was not wasted.
I think it will take some time before we really see his best but what we will see is a player who will be integral to our success.
Didn't score today but there will be many goals I'm sure. Hat trick on 12 Feb would be good!

He fits right in. Can't believe how well he played for just his first game. A creator and a striker all in one.
He will spearhead a powerful trident when Silva is fit.

You can tell he's a class player. He held the ball up really well, won lots of headers and even set up a goal. All that and he's only just come back from a winter break and is playing in a new league.
Can't wait until he's played a few games and gets going.

I think he played very well. Obvious he was lacking match fitness today but his play was excellent. Held it up very well and brought others into play very well (especially in the case of Yaya's goal). Once he's back to match fitness I can see him bagging a lot of goals this year, quality signing.

We do have some bell ends in our support a bloke near me slatted yaya after 30secpnds the same thing happened last home game after 2 mins some have no clueBert Trautmann's Parachute said:He certainly looks a player. He'll need another 6-8 games to find some kind of form though. (The guy that sits behind our kid wanted him out after 30 mins!)Bunk said:Full 90+ minutes and I thought he played very well. Some very nice touches, held the ball up well and the link up play was great (especially that pass to Yaya for our third!).
Solid 8/10

great debut today he is so hard to get off the ball.really strong and the hold up player we have been missing for so long. can see him creating some real headaches for our opposition, especially as there will still be tevez for them to worry about too!

The way the press made out how slow he was because of bitter Jacobs jealousy I was expecting the second coming of didi. Instead he was very quick across the ground. Every bit as quick as Carlos.
The guy looks class. Loved the bit of skill that left the two wolves players on their backsides.

Not bad , and hopefully he will turn out to be a lion like Carlitos.
