Some of his control and touches were so slick, which is an obvious sign his fitness is getting back to where it's needed.
What's happened to him? I hope it's just the injuries taking their toll and he'll bounce back next season. He looks a shadow of the player that controlled games almost single-handedly at times pre injury.

Sarr looked lively when he came on. We've missed his energy but he can at times get caught pressing out and leave us exposed. I think Hojbjerg was there to plug the holes. I do wonder though if a midfield 3 is going to work better with a 6 and 2 box to box midfielders each side. If Bentancur can get back to his old ways he can be one of the box to box ones but for now seems better suited to the holding role. I think Sarr, GLC and Kulusevski all suit the box to box role either side. Trouble is when Sarr presses out and they play out we have both him and Maddison forward leaving 1 midfielder.He’s getting there. Anyone playing next to PEH has extra work to do, as he hides.
Sarr was the right pick at the weekend though- big mistake not to start him.
