Ex-Spurs Player Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

The switch to a 433 has made him and all of our midfield players look better, with Skipp always anchoring the midfield Hojbjerg and Dele can play box to box and be aggressive.
PEH still frustrates with some of his decisions on the ball but he can improve, it already clear that the structure Nuno has implemented suits our players. I can see that they enjoy playing this way.

Im glad Nuno recognized that PEH is better when given the license to get forward. We saw how good he was at the Euros.
Jose wasted this guy last season making him a #6. Underrated passer who picked out some lovely through balls yesterday
See, this is what's frustrating me with all the "we need a #10" chatter.......
Start going down the 4231 path and all this is gone...... i.e. Much of what has been good about Nuno so far.
We just need PEH, Skipp & Dele to keep improving and get more comfortable in these rolls.... Sure, add quality signings to that format if we can, but I'm dead against sacrificing the workrate and 'ground-coverage' that we have established with our MF3 so far when the ability to pass and link up is already present..

And not even necessarily always forward so much as allowed a freer role where he can roam to break things up defensively as well.
Jose did initially try this with Winks in the Skipp role as a more careful tidying up player, the problem was Winks is terrible.
When Jose gave up on being able to protect his back four was when he started taking the piss tactically.
Credit Nuno, but also credit Skipp.
An opinion piece on why Pierre is SO important to us. An opinion I would agree with whole heartedly. An absolute warrior.

The midfielder has been the beating heart of Spurs’ new era under Nuno

Højbjerg is a postal district of Aarhus, Denmark.
Høj is Danish for High, Bjerg means Mountain. Jelshøj is the highest point in Aarhus Municipality at 128 m - so not exactly Mont Blanc, is it?

holds the crown for the most inaccurate spelling of his name which is still recognisable, with 'Hoijberge', but I'm sure we can do better than that.

At fault for the killer goal, fairly tepid in posession, and still MOTM for me. He's everywhere, he's like a slightly crap Kante.
He is oddly part of the problem and the solution.
The best versions of him, Skipp, and Ndombele is absolutely a top 4 midfield for me. We always get the best PEH. Skipp is developing. Tanguy is the missing piece.

He must have a hypnotic personality because some can't see his faults.Did well today. Get this cunt out of the club ASAP
Meanwhile, Chelsea bring on a proper midfielder who turns the game for them.
MOTM today? Jesus wept at how depressing that is.
I concur that we should find one of those N'Golo Kante's everybody has on their bench

We found him years ago, Wilmar Barrios. We just never signed him.I concur that we should find one of those N'Golo Kante's everybody has on their bench
LOL.... Yeh, right.
Bullying the Russian League and being a walking potential red card for your country doesn't put you on par with Kante.
Also; doesn't consider the fact that Chavs can afford to not start a player of his calibre in the first place.
