If we don't give him trust in the next few games, it could impact his confidence. I posted this below in the match thread, I think it's relevant:
"Waiting for playing a new player that is starter worthy is not the best way to integrate a new player in my opinion. Maybe the main thing where I disagreed with Max. Luckily we didn't do it with Ronaldo.
The thing that worries me is that de Ligt looked nervous in pre-season. I'd prefer if we give him trust from the get go. Otherwise the longer we wait we could influence his confidence"

Maybe if we were weak at the back, but you cant expect him to bench well established players like Chiellini or Bon straight away, Cancelo has not started for City yet.
I don't really understand starting Khedira or Matuidi tbh, but De Ligt starting on the bench should suprise no one, and it was the correct call

I think everybody needs to calm down about de Ligt. Everybody instantly assumed that de Ligt would replace Bonucci in the starting eleven, but as of now he needs to prove he can form a better partnership with Chiellini. Bonucci actually had an excellent game yesterday and will rightfully so start against Napoli as well. The amount we paid was necessary, but we are not a mid-tier level club where that automatically means he will be an instant starter. He is a record signing in for a position we already have an established duo. He will get his chances and I am sure he will do absolutely fine, but as of now, we can't criticize Sarri's decision to start with Bonucci - Chiellini as it clearly worked out.
Are we supposed to just forget that Bono has been dog shit for a good 2 years now or so including last year? while De ligt just came of a amazing season, thats the reason we signed him because chiellini kept getting injured and bono was found out for he shit he is when he wasnt around. Yea he had a good game yesertday whoppie lets build a statue out side the stadium for him.
There is not a single reason why he could not of started yesterdays game its parma ffs i dont see why he must "win" the spot from bono when he has been terrible for multiple seasons now and de ligt just came off a great one, like i said you dont see de jong having to "win" hes spot for barce they just played he right form the start becauses he better than there other mids and want him to get him up to speed fast as possible.
It's as if we're talking about a rookie. If we weren't convinced by his quality, we wouldn't have bought him for 75 millions. The problem here is that you're not putting in the necessary conditions to avoid the risk of the move becoming a failed one.
Imagine the outrage if we did it with Ronaldo. He'd have had a harder time settling in than he had. We gave him trust and in the end it paid off.
Bonucci doesn't have to fight for his spot since it's litterally handed to him.

It's irrelevant if it's only one game, it's not the proper way to manage a big money move where expectations are high and builds up over time. There are not a lot of big clubs that do the same. De Ligt is 20, looked nervous in pre-season, it'd be better if the club shows him faith.
It should include Bonucci. It's like competition goes only one way.
