Player Watch Player Watch: Oliver Skipp

[Tucker]

Him and Sarr are the only positives from tonight.

 

[chrissivad]

Glad he was back in as the holding cm.
Worked well with Sarr

 

[HildoSpur]

Did well

 

[Yiddo100]

Last few appearances had me slightly worried. Him and sarr smashed tonight ?

 

[chas vs dave]

Excellent tonight.

 

[RuskyM]

Good lad him.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

They've ( Skipp & Sarr ) done enough for me, that I would like to see them start our next 2 home games. Not like we were swimming with options but we should put faith in them to carry us through these remaining 17 or so games left in the season. I've seen more bravery , effort and actual passing ability from them, then I have from a lot of our players this season.

Let's not put too much expectation on them, Milan were rubbish. The Hammers will be a much bigger threat.

 

[waresy]

That was what we needed from a CM. Taking the ball on the turn and moving forward.

He needed this game, along with the next few to get momentum.

 

[chrissivad]

Let's not put too much expectation on them, Milan were rubbish. The Hammers will be a much bigger threat.

I think we will need Hojbjerg in for the West ham and probably the Chelsea game as I fear Skipp and Sarr would just be too weak. I could be totally wrong on that

 

[tobi]

Very good performance, good positioning, decent on the ball (didn't play it safe all the time) also his (and Sarr's) mobility helped in numerous occasions.

I hope Conte realises that the Hierarchy shouldn't be automatic starters.

 

[thebenjamin]

Bravo Skippy

 

[rabbikeane]

I predict an England call up in 2023

 

[chrisd2k]

Him and Sarr are the only positives from tonight.

Says something when our two midfielders were the best players and yet we still couldn't dominate. These tactics are just gash

 

[SpursAddict]

Skippy pre-injury is back?

 

[Flobadob]

He showed tonight why people still had faith in him. He’s technically and physically far far better than his detractors have given him credit for. Will be a very good player us for a long time

 

[JCRD]

Very proud of him and Sarr tonight - good lads did well.

 

[Joshua]

Looked like the player he was pre-injury tonight

 

[mil1lion]

Did well tonight. Had some trouble with Laoo but who doesn't. One issue was his weakness for the header late on. He's obviously not suited for aerial duals but needs to be stronger there. Still think he's not 100% sharp so needs more minutes. Sarr looked a bit sharper but Skipp was very good with the ball and showed good discipline. He protects the defence well.

 

[funkycoldmedina]

Skippy pre-injury is back?

And he wouldn't have been anywhere near a starting place if Bents hadn't been out. We have the players to rotate in there we just don't have the manager that I wants to

 

[chrisd2k]

Yep.
