Oliver Skipp

Thought the lad had a great game in pre-season against Juve I think. Was MOTM. Obviously pre-season isn't the same as the PL but given that he's 19 and Wanyama looks about as mobile and useful as me, I think Poch should be giving Skipp some minutes.

I always ignore performances of young players in pre-season as typically they are playing at 100% while first team type players are playing at about 50% Skipp needs to be getting minutes out on loan somewhere and we need to be finding a proper first team defensive minded midfield in January (even if it is just a temporary patch fix)
 
Watched Skipp play for the U21 last week he was outstanding against a high class Dutch outfit.
I hope he gets his chance!

What sort of role was he playing? Sitting in front of back 4, getting forward into final third, controlling game with his passing? I like the look of him, and am intrigued to see exactly what kind of player he is going to turn into.
 
Winks is looking good ATM
Oliver needs to go on loan imo

I agree about Winks, he is beginning to look the player he looked when he first broke into the team. He has had a bad time with injurys so slipped back a bit but he is showing that he is getting fit again.

And as you say a loan move for Skipp could be a good move for both him ,ad the club.
