Solid performance today. Like to see him in there with a decent number 8 and we could have a proper double-pivot.
We haven't seen an all-around DM masterclass like that since Wanyama broke down.
Agree fully. All this talk of him not being a DM is a bit off for me. Just because he played a certain role in Southampton's system doesn't mean he can't play as a more conventual DM for us. They guy has some great attributes and really seems to be relishing this move and growing with the team.
I got it totally wrong about Hobo, he’s exactly what we’ve been looking for.
I saw him play with Winks a few times and was disturbed with how he was playing further up with Winks, today he played the DM role with excellent positioning, at times dropping back to be in line with the CBs and at times pushing up to make the key passes.
I can’t believe how good he is and how much of a goof fit he is for the team, just amazing.

A real class act
Well it's gonna be interesting because Jose dropped him to the deepest position in midfield for the first time since he's been here, but still felt the need to play Sissoko in the Winks role as a security blanket centerfielder.
It worked brilliantly today. Sissoko just did a lot of understated run tracking and position occupying while Hojbjerg destroyed everything in sight. But can he be left alone as a 6 with Lo Celso and Ndombele ahead of him? We have to try it, because my god how do you defend Son Kane Bale with Lo Celso and Ndombele outrunning outmuscling and outthinking midfields in behind them?
forgive me
Only went for him because he was cheap
Outstanding today IMO, my Man of the Match.
Fookin love it!
