I did watch the Norwich match and Skipp had a solid game 7/10, he played the full 90+5 and he is going to play at lot of football this year.
As always he works so hard for the team and today was not different 16min into the first half he make two tackles in the middle of the pitch takes a knock on the second tackle but wins the ball and Norwich are now on the attack because of it.
He finished the game just as strong as he started it and what I did find very funny was towards the end of the match two old Spurs players in Alex Pritchard and Jaden Brown both took a turn in taking Skipp out with bad tackles because I think they had enough of him at this point.
Only two thing he got a bit wrong on the day in the second half he got nutmegged on the edge of his own box and the player nearly scored but it was good skill by the player to be honest, the second one was he spotted a runner going behind his back four and he done the right thing and he went with the runner and got to the ball first but then he played a weak ball down the line and gave the ball back to them but other than those two thing he was solid as he is in most games.
He is a player that will be a six or seven out of ten most weeks and what you can notice without crowds you will hear the Norwich manager saying the name Skipp a lot and is always talking to him and I think the manager like having a player on the pitch who can do what he is telling them.
Skipp is a player that likes to outwork opposition players and he will graft until he drops and if we get back a fitter and stronger Oliver Skipp next year the we have a player that can help the first team.
