He made at least 4 tackles, scored a good goal and used the ball probably the best out of all our midfielders against a very good side you complete fucking maniac.

It's not binary.
Perfectly acceptable to feel that PEH is a fine PL midfielder who will do a good job against most Premier League teams but will get exposed against the very best because of his limitations.
Ergo, he is a great squad option but IDEALLY we could have a better CM as our main man in there.
Show me a video proof of that. Outside of the goal he was out of his depth.
For me... He'd be one of the first on the team sheet.. he gives a aggression and commitment that draws in and pushes others.. from what I've seen, the work he does retrieving the ball and protection of the CBs would v difficult to replace... He does the nasty, and in so gives a balance so others can create. Under Conte , he IS pushing further up the park, and looks like he's aware that Conte and ALL top teams expect middies chippin in with assists and MORE finishes... IF he had the technical skills, that others have pointed out on prev posts, He'd be up there on the world stage with the modrics ect ect as it is he's a double solid regular 7 out of ten, very good premier midfielder... And HONESTLY I'm happy with that ..
That could be applied to the vast majority of our squad.
In theory..... I 100% agree.
Point I'm making iis that in the case of many that say it; it it's a BS hollow sentiment..... PEH, Winks, Dav, Davies threads are full of examples.
Unless we are getting Frankie De Jong as the replacement it’s a no from me. PEH isn’t the worlds best but is reliable and rarely gets injured, the fee would have to be big and the replacement a step up.
70m euros or nothing
Who is saying he is beyond reproach? I think most people would agree with your assessment.
But in this moment we have 4 midfielders, 2 of them start, 1 of them is only fit enough to be a sub and the other one is injured. Until that changes PEH will continue to play.
I've said this before when that hojbjerg hater keeps saying the same thing."Only decent against the shit teams"
Goals and assists vs Liverpool, Chavs, Utd, Arse.
Now Madrid want him...but yes of course he's shit and limited.
agree, Think he's hugely undervalued by some fans, I think the trust Conte and Jose show in him shows his character.
Real Madrid would've had to dig much deeper in their wallet than they'd be comfortable with for Conte to accept that one
But you gotta replace him so who you gonna replace him with?
Not unless De Jong, Rice or someone really good comes. PEH is reliable and that is hard to replace. Would have to be an actual upgrade to make it work.
Wouldn't be De Jong as the reduction in wage he would have to take, Conte would probably want someone like Barella but it's too late in the window to get someone in.
I have to think about that. But we aren’t getting 50M for Hojberg hahaha
I know, it's all hypothetical...
Never mind I just realized that we will probably go for Mckennie if we sell him. Fuck that we need to keep him at all costs
