Compare him to Edison I guess........ Fucker roams about loads.
...Then again, not so sure it directly correlates to performing well tho'.

Was his pass to Kulusevski for the winner too
I hope Skipp can develop that side of his game more because he has the ability to do it. Absolutely no way does Winks do what Bentancur did in that video. Pass the ball and then move forward into space instead of backwards or sideways.
It's what we've been missing badly and hopefully Skipp and Bentancur combined give us that.
Aren't you forgetting Gedson Fernandes ?
Could be a monster for us. Gets all over the park, very powerful, technically top draw, positionally smart in terms of breaking up play and covering.
Even if he has a bad game he is looks the type to get stuck in and make it hard for the opposition. To many of our players go missing in games but he seems the type to alway be involved.

I must admit to being a bit nervous when I heard that Fabio Paratici had needed to go back to Juventus to sign the players.
But at £15m or was it £16m (payable over 3 years) to get Bentancur who at age 24 has lots of experience but also could be around for years, I think he's grabbed a real bargain. And an 18 month loan for Kulusevski with an option to buy for a 21 year old is equally astute. So January window imo was pretty successful

He looks like prime xavi in our team.
Watching the match I just assumed it was kulusevski who covered the most ground. I wasn’t far off. 13kms is a lot though. Isn’t about 11km usually the average.
Perhaps the average of longest runners in all the PL clubs.
Eriksen used to typically Spurs best performer with 11 point something. So 13 Km is going hat extra mile (or kilometer ! )
Perhaps the average of longest runners in all the PL clubs.
Eriksen used to get praise for 10k a match. I never understood why, that isn't hard. And I think his sprint frequency was average/low.
It’s nice to see a midfielder not panic when in possession of the ball
To be fair , I think Skippy will learn a lot from playing with Bentancur , can only benefit his progression
They also came in without requiring 18 months of adjusting.
It's great that both new signings are good at grafting. A refreshing change too from at least one of our outs in January...
Interesting to see if Kulusevski matches the distance Eriksen used to cover (it was always a surprisingly high amount for someone who isn't the quickest) but with an actual ability to get stuck into tackles.
my first thought, if he's doing five, then ten is fuck all....
thers a lot of intense pressing in them KM's too. warrior (bentancur)
Would have been a brilliant goal that wouldn't it. Brilliant from Bentancur and the sort of midfield play we've been crying out for. Really like the look of him so far.
