Ex-Spurs Player Oliver Skipp

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That Leao has mental speed/strength, he did Sarr once or twice as well. They have about 2-3 class players in that AC Milan team.
Hernandez and Leão are two of the best players in their positions in the world. Ismael Bennacer is also an incredible midfielder for them but he's injured. And that CB Thiaw is going to be a star in the future, he pocketed our right hand side today. They have a few extremely good players and it is no surprise they are the current Serie A champions
 
Brilliant game tonight. Driving forward with the ball plenty of tackles. Travesty that he's been consigned to the bench all season while players like dier and son produce shit game after game and play the full 90 without fail.
 
Spurs MOTM for me, last night against AC Milan. He was all over the pitch, making accurate, intelligent forward passes, superbly timed tackles, deft touches and reaching balls he had no right to reach. What a marvellous player.
The 'established' players could learn a lot from Skippy. Dier, for example - stop standing there directing other people and learn to play the game instead.
 
"What defined Skipp’s performance at San Siro was his intelligence in possession. The statistics showed that he completed a team high 93% of his passes and he helped to dig out a foothold after the nightmare of the early concession to Brahim Díaz, which would prove to be the only goal of the tie. Skipp moved the ball quickly and tidily, invariably getting his angles right."
 
Him and Sarr should have half a season of rotated minutes under their belts, yet we are letting them stunt until an injury crisis forces our hand. Next Manager has to play youth.
