In my opinion, yesterday was his second good game in United's shirt.

My averate rating for him rose 0.4 just for this one performance. :)

I would vote him 3rd best player on the pitch, maybe 2nd joint with van Persie. Blind obvious winner.
 
Great signing.
 
Man Utd 3:0 Cambridge
Was he crying after he scored?
 
I really like him, I think he'll be a top player for us eventually.
 
His progression is really good to see.
 
He's looked better at LB today than the last time he played there for us, must be worrying for Shaw with new CB's likely coming in that Rojo is seen as one of LvG's certs regardless of the role.
 
How has his partnership with Smalling looked today?

Edit: never mind, just realised he's at LB

Fast becoming a bit of a fans favourite.

That's what i said all along. Glad he's scored. Hopefully he keeps improving as he keeps adapting to the club and a more demanding football. He's doing better for you guys than what he done in his first year at Sporting.

He's been really good, love everything about him. Always smiling, always trying and he loves being here.
 
Our best defender imo, like how he's competent at Lb too, put in some good crosses.
 
Very happy for him to get his goal, quickly becoming a favourite of mine. He and Blind have probably been our best signings, ironically they're also the cheapest :lol:
 
there's always just been something about him. He actually looks like he gives a shit, like he wants to take responsibility. He tries to encourage the young players, tell others where to pass, where to move, what to do etc. he's not afraid to be aggressive either. It's refreshing to see because for the last 18 months our squad have largely been a bunch of pussies.

Same here, has a bit of passion to his game and wouldn't back down to anyone, cockiness as well which I like

I really look forward to seeing our new players in the UCL next season, if we make top 4 which I hope we do.

Same here, its like buying a race car and having to wait 1 year to test it on a race track:(, Rojo looks Champions League ready.

It's really weird (to me) that people write in these mega threads about performances rather than the post match thread :wenger:
PS Really like Rojo, so happy he's off the mark!

The thread is called "Marcos Rojo 2014/15 Performances"... what else would you expect people to talk about in a thread specifically about Rojo's performances?

And I'm pretty sure talking about all 14 player performances in one match thread, alongside discussing the team's collective performance and all the other stuff specific to that game, would be far more of a mega thread than this... :D
 
I think he has a very good chance of cementing that left CB played fantastic today.
 
He is lovable character from every picture he uploads on instagram he looks happy. Hope he can transfer the happines on the pitch and do his job well. I like him but he should start as CB his crossing is very inconsistent..
 
He got unlucky with his shoulder, but a lot of the time he seems to be on the good side of nasty challenges. Left a Cambridge player in pain after a subtle challenge tonight. And I like his instagram account.
 
He's quickly becoming one of my favourite players at the club. He's improving each game and I admire how much he gives a shit.
 
Think he's been one of our better and more consistent players this season. He's an automatic starter when fit, get someone like Hummels etc next to him and he'll look even better.
 
Really starting to improve with every game. His first few months he seemed to get beaten in the air a lot, and though he is strong physically, it took him a while to adapt to the league (as it takes many players). Been doing really well though lately, and he's still only 24 which is nothing for a center back. Delighted for him to get a goal. Hopefully he can stay fit and form a partnership with someone.
 
He's done well against Cambridge and was solid at the back for much of the match and good going forward (other than the two horrible crosses at the start of the second half).

One thing that's concerning me about him so far is how he's poor at aggressively marking a player. This is an ability that many modern defenders possess, and the best ones are those who are great at aggressively marking players. Rojo, however, has often created spaces for the opposition because of this, and he's also been beaten often as a result of his aggressive marking. He's improved aerially, and he's shown himself to be a good marker and decent, positionally, but he's still not good enough in aggressively marking the ball holder. He needs to improve in this aspect if he is to not give away chances.
