Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[EQP]

No problems according to Ally Gold at PC. Just rested.

Perfect. Hopefully Jose gave him 3 days off and will work on getting him prepped for the Palace and Liverpool games.

His ball playing is definitely underrated. Can see why he was a pep protege. Like Wanyama I am very surprised by his footballing ability. He looks like a proper Bayern player.

wanyama was a liability on the ball?

He was no Busquets, but a liability is unfair. Certainly for a DM he was decent on the ball before injuries finished him imo.

scared me every time he had the ball, but I know others didn't feel the same. very good stopper (when fit).

Can you imagine Wanyama and Hojbjerg together, holy fucking shit.

Such a top player for us. Weird to think Pep didn't go in for him. He knows him better than anyone

Pre-injury Wanyama and PEH and we're winning the league by 12 points.

I might actually be a little bit in love with PEH. I had such a hole in my heart since Dembele moved on but it's slowly being filled.

Listen to his post match interview against Burnley. He sounds so matured, and will really make a great captain and future manager.

You'd think he was the manager already, haha.

Strength, simplicity, control: Is Hojbjerg the key to Spurs' form?

Has Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had the biggest influence on Jose Mourinho's side since arriving from Southampton?

Seems to me that PEH is having the same sort of effect that Dave Mackay had when he arrived late fifties , the driving force from midfield , hopefully he won't miss many PL games.

So your hole is being filled in slowly by PEH ?

Apologies if this has already been posted. Here is the technical analysis of PEH commissioned by the BBC.

Gets funnier by every loop. Boss.

 

[felmani26]

I fucking love this guy - an absolute trojan!

That is all.

 

[HildoSpur]

Best signing since Son?

 

[GutBucket]

Best signing since Son?

Ndombele IMO. Hojbjerg is right there though, especially for what we paid him.

 

[Zippy1980]

If Kane Sonny and PEH stay fit we will go far this season.

Now is the time to clone Hojbjerg. What a player
