Me too!Would rather see Skipp and Sarr again than PEH coming back in.

I get that they are better defenders. But we lose the attacking impetus that Hojbjerg gives us. He weighs in with goals and it's not like the attack is coming from many other places. I think Skipp and Sarr for every match will be too negative. Anyway just my thoughts.Would rather see Skipp and Sarr again than PEH coming back in.
It's because of the way we play. He always receives the ball with his back to the goal, and often two players pressing him. That's the weakest side of his game. Son needs to be played into space, but we never get to do that. And because he always receives the ball in his weakest position, and loses it, his confidence drops and drops and drops, so if he somehow gets the ball with space to run, his low confidence keeps him from doing what he's best at. It's a vicious circle.yep...a bit odd,he played a cracking through ball in the World cup...I think he needs to take a look at his game carefully and work out what he's doing wrong. He is very weak when receiving the ball.. loses it too early!
Definitely looks a good prospect but needs to be protected. Still too young to play week in week out imho. I remember thinking the same of Sandro when he started and then we broke him.20 years old, new team in a new country and he takes his chance like he’s born into it. We might have a hell of a player on our hands.

Disagree, the passing from both (especially Sarr) is better than what PEH gives. PEH has scored 10 in 130 games for us, he doesn't give goals.I get that they are better defenders.

Without doubt, the team doesn't create much but he has no idea when to release the ball and struggles to compete simple passes.
The ball dies with Perisic as he takes so bloody long to pass itTonight, the biggest repeat offenders for failure to deliver routine passes were Lenglet and Perisic.

As I said in another thread I think Hojbjerg is a little under rated on here which is a shame. I think he contributes more to attacks than he does defensively. Maybe it's not an accurate reflection of what is actually happening given the stats. But he does seem to weigh in on the attacking side.Disagree, the passing from both (especially Sarr) is better than what PEH gives. PEH has scored 10 in 130 games for us, he doesn't give goals.

He is a halfway house on everythingI find it quite sad really. I was very excited by his arrival, but truth be told, he has been a big disappointment.
Well , not a disaster which it could easily have been if they scored from the two late sitters. Our attack is just not functioning. Son and Kulu were appalling. Our crossing from numerous deadball opportunities was ptgetic - what are we paying the dead ball specialist coach for? I haven't noticed a jot of improvement. Our movement is static, no one attacks the ball and no one comes in round the back.
We are just so predictable. Really boring football with no cutting edge. It is scandalous how we are wasting the two bright attacking talents we have. It's all down to Conte's tactics and I have had enough as I really can't see things getting better. Porro was his main requirement in the window and we busted a gut to get him. It looks like the bloke can't defend. Is he another waste of money? Time will tell but the omens don't look good.
Conte needs to start delivering now. We have the opportunity to put a run together. Will he grasp it?
I would probably ignore any time spent under Mourinho in his stats considering that he had our midfield largely playing on the edge of our own box. What are the stats under Conte, or better still the stats for this season?Disagree, the passing from both (especially Sarr) is better than what PEH gives.

I sadly don’t think so.

Does generally head the ball back to the keeper really well
Unfortunately that's too many , why ?Glut?
Bentancur - yes
Bisouma - rarely starts
Sess - is crap
Lloris - form is awful
Who else of consequence?
