class today! keeps it simple in a side where the others were for too long trying the hollywood ball. his assist was class too, left that ndidi for dead in the middle of the pitch then slips son through with a nice ball... hes under appreciated at this club for some reason. hes our number 1 CM as you know what you get from him consistently.
 
He's just a force...non stop all action footballer... His 'type' are the engines and hearts of teams, bit like Graham Roberts was bac in the day .. skill sets aren't absolutely wonderful.. but hey guts and determination well compensate...
 
Case can be made that he’s arguably been our best player this season. Either PEH, Bentancur, Hugo or Kane take that distinction thus far.
I'd take Kane off that list too. For me it's PEH or Hugo, while Betancur is 3rd.
As stated above, he just works and works and works. Non stop. He makes mistakes, sure, and isn't flashy by any means....but he consistently works to make up for that.
 
Think he's had a good season but dunno what you lot were seeing against Leicester, in the first half he was abysmal. Overall it was one of his poorer games I think (this season).
in what was was he abysmal? just watching it now on spurs play, he done a nice little bit of link up on the 13th minute mark roughly which richarlison fucks up with a heavy touch. 21 mins in hes been solid, bentancur having a a poor game. 29 mins in, still solid not put a foot wrong, last 15 must be a right stinker. 34 mins, jockeys maddison well forcing the play to nothing with help of richarlison coming back...really failing to see this abysmal performance so far maybe last 10 mins. 36 mins gets a foot in on dewsbury hall to stop a potential chance...still no signs of being abysmal. 37 mins in, picks up loose ball and uses it well, dier ends up fucking it up by giving it back to them! 38 mins sticks it on a leicester player and he forces a heavy touch. 40 mins their goal, weak from sess and dier not alert and sharp enough once the ball comes into maddison. 41 mins, nice play from PEH ends up getting fouled. takes free kick and plays a couple nice passes that gets us up the pitch. 44 mins he could of done better not snappy enough with the ball around him. 45 mins wins ball of daka and plays a quick pass into richarlison's feet who fail to hold up again.

really fail to see how you watch that and think he was abysmal! you sure you watched that game?

I can't read that wall of text mate, gonna need a paragraph in there somewhere. As it is, its just... abysmal to read.

:sherwoodlol:
 
I feel like hes underrated as a passer and attacker. His stamina and ability to stay healthy are really impressive. If nothing else simply being well-rounded and able to stay healthy is a pretty amazing feat in this most-physical league of ours.
