I can't think of a more fitting description of himDanish Stefan Freund
I've said it before, for a DM he is far too easy to get past. Doesn't have the dynamism a modern DM needs. Too slow around the pitch to cover ground effectively and a player with half decent pace can knock it a yard past him and if off. I see him as a very useful member of the squad but honestly believe we need a better quality DM.
That all may be true but he’s a distant 4th amongst Dembele, Wanyama, and Parker in every way. I think rotating with Skipp will help him a ton, but a midfield where Hojbjerg is your best CM is a doomed midfield.Why is it that half of this forum changes their opinion on players every match? So reactive.
Hojbjerg has played every single minute for us in the Premier League, and another twenty-three games in other competitions - and he’s done it in a very demanding role, constantly chasing down the ball. Of course he’s tired, of course he’s not at his best.
When he’s fit, he’s got that extra bit of acceleration to win the ball more consistently.
Yes, that one stat about being dribbled past is bad. But it’s much less bad when you look at the context. He challenges dribblers at a greater rate than almost everyone else in the league - top 4% - and has played every single minute for a team often on the back foot. His stats for tackling are quite good - he’s in the top 10% for tackles attempted, and the top 9% for tackles won.
That all may be true but he’s a distant 4th amongst Dembele, Wanyama, and Parker in every way. I think rotating with Skipp will help him a ton, but a midfield where Hojbjerg is your best CM is a doomed midfield.
