Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[dontcallme]

The only Ederson I know is the Man City keeper. I'm assuming it's not him??

Atalanta midfielder I think.

Is he any good?

Best player I’ve never heard of before we were linked.

 

[allpaths]

fair credit to him did a really good job giving us a platform in the 2nd half.

Yeah, he was actually key to us getting a foothold back in the game. Good for him.

Always seems to do well coming on from the bench, starting games not so much.

He calmed us down somewhat I think. Should have come on earlier instead of Skipp.

That attempted pass to Veliz was one of the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen on a football pitch. Everyone else in the whole stadium knew Veliz was fucked, we had sonny breaking on the left and he passes it to Veliz.
Incredibly bad judgement. Belows a clip of it

One of the comments read "You man are so soft". Why must people absolutely butcher the English language?

 

[Stamford]

He made a huge difference and calmed everything down when he came on.

Normally I praise him and like him as a player but today I thought he was very poor.

Marking no one for their goal, shit pass to veliz and a moment of madness where he gave the ball to the opposition, and then ran back and wiped him out.

In general I thought he was poor as was Skipp. When these players get the chance they have to take it, Hoijberg has been doing well this season (until today), but when you see Veliz and Gil (today) busting a gut it makes you wonder.

I think him slotting in and helping skipp allowed GLC to be much more creative and run the game but to each their own

GLC played well, I'll give you that, perhaps Hoijberg gave him a bit more freedom/security.

I thought we weren't good in general in midfield.

Høibjerg > Skipp any day of the week

I don't think either are good enough to be in our top 4 choices for the deeper central midfield roles.

We currently have Sarr, Bentancur and Bissouma who are all top quality. In situations where we don't need the same engine GLC can slot in.

But we still need a 4th choice for that spot. It can't be Hojbjerg or Skipp.

With 18 months on his contract, Hojbjerg has to be sold if any reasonable offer comes in. Skipp can stay as 5th choice for a while but in time he'll move on for more regular football.

That's the one ....Brazilian

Hmm ... Éderson from Atalanta? Has only been booked twice in a total of 23 matches this season. No red cards. Hasn´t been out injured either. Doesn´t sound like a good fit to our squad.

This is how I feel about the goal. I don’t think he has the stamina to do the up and down. Often you see him jogging back and the cut back going to the man he’s supposed to be marking. It’s one of the reasons I’m starting to think CG might be good as even if he doesn’t get there he’ll bust a gut to try.

Cheers mate, also interesting another link to a Serie A player, Fabio.P must still have a decent influence as I don't think Lange and his team signed that many from Serie A at Villa etc.

This is interesting, could very much relate

James to Atalanta, Ederson to Spurs, PEH on loan to Juve.

 

[What Lies Beneath]

Nothing advanced and anything being proposed is seen as a piss take right now . Has loads of interest just not serious buyers right now
