Backwards isn't always bad. His job is literally to recycle. Job done there.Back pass merchant
True but unlike PEH he’s braver with forward passing when under pressure. The ‘Viking’ retreats against good sides, either boots it back to Lloris or disappears
I was saying from the back end of last season the future will be PEH as Skipps understudy. Boys on a steep upward curve to stardom. I'm going to be ambitious and saying the loser Internationally will be Harry Maguire..... Rice will take his position as Centerback and Skipp will anchor either Bellingham or Philips.
I think Skipp and Phillips will be vying for an England slot long term.
Can't see Rice being moved into defence.
Maguire is a very good CB who is out of form. Eric Dier will certainly be in Southgate's thoughts in January if he keeps up his good form.
Love him, love him, love him!
I actually didn't see that during the game. But that's a wonderful bit pf play. You just know Conte's weener got a little hard for a few moments after that.
I think Skipp will develop into a more box to box player than simply a holding player. He has the energy and the stamina for it. He just needs to work on his shooting obviously. He doesn't have to try and be a Gerrard or a Lampard in regards to the amount of goals he scores. But with his energy there's no reason he can't get forward and join attacks at times.
Now just to get a chant going for him!Absolutely loving the new Skipp emojis!
Suppose 'one of our own' will just about fit!
Who knows? But what is a good thing is that he has somebody like Conte who played in a similar position to him showing him what's what in his formative years.
Impossible to not love the kid.
Except he won't bitch and slag us off at every opportunity if he ever goes into punditry!
Hate to say it, but that is a bit Phil Jones!Absolutely loving the new Skipp emojis!
...and he was ripped to shreds!
Jumping the gun a little there now
Skipp was excellent, Rice was excellent. Rice runs their side
