It was a good tackle, if you can't take the ball make sure the fucker doesn't get past.

He was great, very good debut. He looked pretty Knackered at the end. I really like the look of him, he’s going to be a threat on that left side.

Definitely an upgrade on Matt Targett.

Clearly much better than Targett.

Yeah it’s about levels. Targett is a good and whole hearted player, but Digne is another level.

I wasn't over impressed in the first half. He really grew into it in the second half though. He looks alright you know.

I learn that Digne was born in Meaux, which is a town that makes Brie.

And he was shit for us.

I’m another who was unsure if he was a clear upgrade on Targett. I am now, he is, very impressed.

Amazed at his control, it's on another planet; whatever concerns I had about him soon disappeared.

Couple of brilliant touches where he just killed the ball, well impressed too.

A clear upgrade in every sense.

Nothing against Matt, but Digne's the real thing isn't he? It's the technique that frightens me, you can just see a real top-level player there when he a plucks lofted passes out of the sky.

Some lovely diagonal balls played to him in the second half and he was in acre's of space.  Good tactics, was great to watch and bodes well for the rest of the season. Having no game on the 29th might actually help him and Coutinho as they can train like hell.

Matt would have not been able to hit  that volley as sweetly as Lucas did and would have tried to control the ball  thus losing time and space and that's the quality difference in a nutshell.

Target wouldn't have been there in the first place.
