Not bad for a cement mixer.
i wouldnt say his technique is poor,i think hes technically fine. but i know what you mean, he can sometimes be sloppy. think its either sometimes due to fatigue or just a lack of concentration.
Højbjerg and Dier 5-yard passes to each other for 90 minutes, 24/7/365.
A huge away win against an over-performing Brighton, but they had nearly 60% possession FFS.

Did you read what you quoted?Højbjerg and Dier 5-yard passes to each other for 90 minutes, 24/7/365.

9 passes into final third
4 passes into box
In the big 5 leagues he’s in the 91st percentile for progressive passes for all midfielders. 77th percentile for dribbles completed.
He’s giving us what brozovic would give us. Stats are very similar. Both had 3 goals and 4 assists last season. Hojbjerg better in a midfield two though.
Chatshit as usual.
He’s a good middle third player. One of the worst DM’s I’ve ever seen but he can play a bit
I read. He's the king of the 'hockey assist'.
Højbjerg: Elite-level progressive passer/dribbler.
Well... fuck me. Any word from Madrid?
Not my cuppa, but inshallah the Cløgger makes all of our dreams come true.
Bayern developed him as a CAM. You can still see bits of it in his play when he gets forward. Its true he doesn't quite seem to have the finesse of DeBruyne/Maddison types, but he has the potential to lay on a great defence-splitting pass or crack a nice shot.
Very underappreciated and underestimated player, I agree.
Bro I go to USL games here in the states. Trust me- PEH is realms away from being one of the worst DMs you've ever seen.
I don't know though- you might have been born yesterday.

They’ve both played wel but they’ve also been overrun at times. Hopefully a tweak to the system (or return of Kulu from injury / bench) changes that
PEH had a great game on Saturday, in fact he has been a bit of a shining light this season.
With the extra body in midfield perhaps he can get forward slightly and intercept the ball further up the pitch which would be handy.

Agree. I really think that’s his sweet spot - hustling and bustling to win the ball back and driving fwd
His close control is poor. Not his overall technique.
Look how even Bissouma takes the first touch and brings ball to his feet. PEH does not have that.
And when he is in possession and opposition players come to close him down, he cannot cope with this pressure.
This also lead to him losing possession quite dangerously like 3x in first half.
That means whenever he receives the pass, he has to pass it on right away, unless he has lot of room around.
We really would need prime Dembele to use as 3rd CM... someone who could really influence the tempo. Receive the ball. Control it, keep opposing players off it, maybe dribble past one or two, and then pass it to player with excellent vision.
All of that is not saying that PEH would be shit. Far from it. He has been useful and he is very much needed.
He is also almost ever-present. Sick to think that with 2,25 seasons he has already played 9400 minutes for us.
100% agree but that’s less of an issue when he’s not in front of our back 4.
