Absolute pace on him as well to skin their LCB. Reminded me of Lennon.

Pleased Southgate was there to cast an eye.

He played the whole game, Winks went off. He did look a bit jaded from the 80th minute though, which is no surprise as in the first half he'd probably put in similar running stats to most players over an entire 90.

I didn't think it was his strongest game, but even so he did some great stuff: notably one brilliant tackle when Leicester were on the break and some great forward runs.
It's clear Conte is pushing him and asking him to add more to his game. It felt like he made more forward runs off the ball in that one game alone than in the rest of the season combined so Conte obviously wants him to get in the box and add goals to his game.
If he can add a bit more conviction to his play in the final third and be a bit braver in his passing (he certainly has the ability) then he could go up to the next level. Exciting times.

Lol. I completely stopped noticing him, maybe that's why.

Not to take anything away from young Skippy here but id fancy my chances of out sprinting their centre backs and im currently posting 6 minute KM's on Strava lol
Actually his shot that was blocked was very well hit.

The kid was ALWAYS going to be nothing other than superb, which he has most certainly proved to be.
He's twenty fucking one & this good, and now has one of the best coaches on the planet to guide him.
This kid can & will go far!

Has he always been that fast?
Yesterday everyone looked faster: Skipp, Kane, Reguilon - even Doherty.

Just going to repeat what I've said for awhile: The wet blankets need to shut up when Skipp only has an okay/poor game. The lad is class but still has a lot to learn. And he will. I've no doubt about it. ?

He’s such a unique player. Deceiving really. Has pace when he needs it, incredible engine, terrier-like all over the pitch but isn’t completely brutish and can play the incisive pass. Feel like he’s an onion and we keep peeling layers and finding more and more to his game. Absolutely love watching him play. Can’t wait until he bags a goal.

I really like the kid, but he doesn't even have a single assist this season in 27 appearances.

I'd like to see if he has any hockey-assists.
Hopefully he can start adding some goals to his game.
