Thought he had an excellent debut yesterday. Looks to be a big presence in the middle-I was surprised how precise his tackling was and positionally he was excellent.
Looks a good signing

Can he play right side centre back in a 3?

Who knows?
I do hope he gets a decent amount of game time-in amongst the options in midfield he looks like the big, experienced bastard we may need in plenty of games...

Viera played him at CB when he played a 5 occasionally last season according to my Palace supporting mate

Showed some good touches against Spurs, but left Kane completely free for the second goal.

Yeah, that was terrible. I think he thought Williams was going to pick him up. Not totally unreasonably. But between them, SOMEONE MARK HIM!

It's all about mid-table...
I know nowt about the lad, he did well in most situations until the goal.

I thought he was our best player today, and certainly dug in more than a few others. Quicker than I thought he was too.

He was good until he started to tire in the second half. Probably one of the few to come out of today with any credit really.

I think he was our stand out player today if I'm honest. Not just for the goal but he had a real presence about him that we haven't had since Samba Sow. I don't think he had much of a pre-season to be honest, considering we bought him two weeks into the season and he'd been let go by Palace in May so tiring is understandable.
That said, he's played a lot of games for Palace over the last four years so imagine once he's sharp again, he'll be a main part of our midfield.

He’s good when we are out of possession, but he brings very little to the table when we have the ball I thought.
I was happy with the idea of him as a closer when defending a lead, or playing in front of a back 4 - less so in a 2 with three centre-halves.

Think he'd be better alongside o'brein and Freuler. You have two combative players then and Freuler to get us moving through the lines.

Funny old game, I thought he was utterly appalling!
For me he was just so passive versus what I thought he’d be. His first touch wasn’t good and he was quite slow on the ball.
That said he did make a couple of decent impacts. The tackle with his head really made me laugh, he’s obviously a committed character.
Not really sure about him yet. But Coops obviously likes him so that’s good enough for me

I thought he did well but that the knock first half took its toll. Not sure I like the combination of him and Yates - him or Yates for me, though I think I understand the reasoning: two combative types to protect the defense/free up MGW and JL to attack. Didn't work too well second half for whatever reason.

Thought he was in for a shout for MotM as well today, had a very good game.

Yup. Apologies due from me as I've been on his case this season and sighed when I saw him on the teamsheet today. Won't be doing that again, he was magnificent.

100%---he covered tons of ground, won his share of balls, played some telling passes. Very, very impressive.

The best thing today was the bench close to the end. Him and others were kicking and heading every ball, Koyate had his shirt off and getting the crowd going whilst sitting on the bench.
You can't tell me these guys aren't a team, glad everything is coming together and I am not suprised. It was always gonna take time, that goes for managers AND players.
