I said long ago he has been shackled playing defensively. He has more in his locker.

Sarr is a much better option though and when Bentancur comes back I don’t see him getting many chances to play.
That's up to him to force his way in.
All that changes with sub appearances and Europe again next season.
Yep bentacaur needs to start in front for him
I love him to bits but a few times I saw him hiding. Not sure if he was just tired or not but it was noticeable he wasn't making himself an option to pass to.
Lo Celso for me
Need to do more on an occasion like today if he wants to give himself any chance of becoming a regular starter for us.
The days of 'young Ollie' and excuses should be over now, he will be 23 next month, time to step up.

He’s very much just alright with the occasional really good performance and goal. I don’t see him ever progressing past that as his skill set is pretty limited.
Nice to have around & club trained but I don’t expect him to ever be at a level where he’s got a shot at starting for England for example.

No but he is a fine back up. Sarr has the similarity to Bissouma, Lo Celso will cover Maddison and Skipp/Devine will cover Bentancur.
We just fucking miss Bentancur.
Agree with that. I was happy enough for him to start today but I thought he'd have a bit more about him, was too sloppy. I hope Ange takes no prisoners, if Sarr trains well through the week, get him in to replace Skipp.
God no. I should stop posting leave the pub and face my earfulDid you mean to post that in the Skipp thread?
Part of the issue for Skipp was Brentford played 5 men deep and took away the kind of runs he made against Barcelona. The wide players have to offer more or teams are going to sit back like that against Spurs.
He's not actually a very good 6, he doesn't have the mobility.
As a #8 with Højbjerg as the #6:
