Not going to engage in I told you so type comments, a) because I wouldn’t like that done to me and b) because he wouldn’t be the first player to start well and go south, but I hope as a collective we learn to pass judgement on players after seeing them play in our kit, not before.

Bound to take him a game or two to adjust to what you can and can’t get away with in the premier league. He looks the business to me though. So far Paratici looks like he knows what he is doing.
Would have been interesting to see a certain hulk in our shirt for a few months before passing judgement.
Some people simply prefer to deny reality
If Højbjerg had not consciously lifted up his foot the ball would - according to the laws of physics - stopped at his foot. But if you still believe that you saw the ball go thru his foot then you must believe you either the football or Højbjerg - or both - circumvented the laws of physics - on other words: Højbjerg performed a miracle 
They used him a cone decoy - old-skool Conte drill thatSome people simply prefer to deny reality
So you too - like the Man City player - was also conned by Højbjrg's con move
He's pretty good this fella. I like him. Fitness permitting, a certain starter from now on.
Seems capable of tackling to help the defence, turning and switching defence to attack and more than capable of putting a ball through.
I'm sure that by the end of the season we could have 2 reels - one of all the good work and one of the times he gave the ball away..............trying to be positive.
Seems to win the ball cleanly a lot. I saw a few video's of this before he actually signed for us.
If he can keep doing that and, from what I can see, he immediately takes the tackle and pushes the ball into attack, we could be onto something.
Normally when players sign for us they're shit for at least 18 months ...... what if this is their shit, imagine what they'll be like when they really get going.....
Side note...I wonder how many times over recent years we've had players we've signed from abroad hit the ground running like this straight away, as in look like they've been in the team for years...
Reguilon didn't need time to adapt and settled in pretty quickly
Bergwijn had a solid debut but his form then went to pieces so not sure he counts
Eriksen was really good and was a hit straight away if I recall.
Can't think of anymore...
Calmness personified !
Won't be seeing him for a couple months I assume.
Why? Didn’t he play through it the whole first half and just go off at halftime?
if hes out for a length of time we are fucked! no chance of top 4
Early in the game he slipped on the wet grass and it looked nasty. He wasn't taken off for tactical reasons for Winks.
Our physio team are so average we'll be lucky to see Benta again in a hurry. Fingers crossed Skippy is back for Leeds.
