Les Ferdinand
Sarr really showed an all round game - it had it all.
Think I liked the most the fact that the lad can play - good touch, showed for it, took it in difficult areas and hard to dis-possess. Real vision to see some challenging progressive passes and then the ability to pull them off. He also kept it very simple a lot and progressed the team solidly around the park while interlinking neatly with Skipp - lots of neat little touches.
Then the engine he's got on top of that - dynamic, got around the park. Battled for so much and won most of his duels whether they were 50/50s or from aggressive pressing, the latter also demonstrating his ability to read what's happening in front of him. Got into advanced positions on occasion too and pinged a shot wide.
All the pressure on, CL game in the San Siro, he just went about his game like it was in the park. Serious potential fears... I'd love to see what he looks like next to Bentancur, sadly won't be till next season... but he and Skipp showed promising signs of a solid CM partnership well suited for the Conte system!
Like you I was impressed yesterday. My one concern however is that I was even more impressed with Winks against Real Madrid and that went on to be his best performance in a Spurs shirt.
For varying reasons he never returned to that peak.
