After Leeds git the bar the second time the ball arrives to him and in what is a tense moment, having nearly conceded, he found the time to calmly put us on the counter attack, resulting in a Leeds player committing a foul and giving us a chance to slow the game down.

 

[Parker]

Have we signed him permanently yet?

Anybody who saw this lad impose himself against Real Madrid, Juventus, and Spurs in the Champions League knew he was a footballer. The comparisons with Klaassen were uninformed and lazy. He was a blond, Dutch midfielder who played for Ajax - but I never saw Davy cut up Madrid, Juve, and Spurs in huge games. No point in getting too attached, though. He'll likely be gone by June.

Comparisons made between Donnie and Klassen were made in the no.10 position.
Comparison between them at no.8 - a position requiring leadership, greater skill set and vision and more energy - well this is no comparison, Donnie is light years ahead.

Pickford often does it. I don’t think he knows where he is in his box half the time.

Gone are the days when the keeper before the kick off dug his heel into the centre of the 18 yd box all the way back to his line so he knew at a glance his position in relation to the goal
Groundsmen would kill them now

 

[Papa Shango]

Hell of a spring on him for a wee lad.

Reminds me a bit of Arteta

He's 6 foot...

 

[FCBarça]

Prime example of how a player can be made to look a failure simply due to the tactics or poor team play, Donny is a great team player

 

[Trublue12]

I was very impressed, yesterday. Hope we can keep him.

Well Dave, you have had enough time now. What are your thoughts ?

For me, it was (I think) towards the end of the match when he had received the ball under pressure from 2 or 3 and made a blind (from what I could tell) pass, which had to based on awareness, back up the line to keep our pressure on. I wish full matches were on YouTube, so I could link it and prove to myself I didn't see things incorrectly.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

All down to who comes in as next United manager. You just know that whoever comes in will start playing him and put us signing him to the sword.

 

[roy vernon]

TBH I hardly noticed he was on the pitch.

Exactly Dave, did the simple things with quiet efficiently. A very classy player, also a grafter.

and probably didn't fit in with over-hyped 'show ponies'

Just a shame he hasn't got a turn of pace.

Just a shame he hasn't got a turn of pace.

He has a turn of pace in his brain which more than makes up for it
