Arguably the best player on the pitch, as he has been the past 3/4 games. Needs more respect.
He is so much better with Bentancur next to him.

Agreed, and it goes both ways. In terms of having two players who can defend space at a high level in this system which wants to stretch the pitch horizontally. It asks a huge amount out of both players, I think Bentancur cramping up is an example of the work both get through. As well as them both trusting one another in all scenarios to be in the right place to mop up, win the ball, receive a pass, etc. Football is all about mini-relationships throughout the pitch, and the two are working and moving as one unit currently.He is so much better with Bentancur next to him.
Where are the haters now? Calling him a "fake viking" and a "fake warrior". He's been excellent.
Not to mention – he absolutely works his balls off and commands the team in every match he features in.
Open your eyes.
Saw this too.Bentancur got a lot of praise today and deservedly so, but great job PEH. I’ll leave this here.

Well said... imagine if we sell Winks and get another CM we can trust. Then we will be bulletproof in midfield.Lets not forget how well we did with Skipp and Hojbjerg together. With Bentancur we now have 3 quality midfielders. The obvious weak link is Winks, I couldn't care less about who we feel is better between the others. They all bring something to the table and I'm confident in any combination of 2 out of those 3. Need Skipp back so we can finish the season with them 3 in rotation.
Saw this too.
PEH seems to get a lot of hate from our fanbase and I really don't understand why.
Maybe it's because he was relatively cheap, came from a lower level team, or isn't from a fashionable footballing nation? Maybe it's because people don't appreciate the type of player that he is?
Maybe it's just that people need to be a bunch of critical ****s and need a scapegoat?!
Personally, I like him, appreciate what he brings to the team and think he's been improving steadily since he's been with us. His attacking play has been a lot better this season, especially with Bentancur next to him.
Winks?I’d love a midfield squad of Holjbjerg, Bentancur, Winks and…..Declan Rice. Sorry but I’m really impressed by him And it looks like he won’t get his move to Chelsea now. Hobby was brilliant yesterday, top class.
Winks over Skipp in your squad?? ?I’d love a midfield squad of Holjbjerg, Bentancur, Winks and…..Declan Rice. Sorry but I’m really impressed by him And it looks like he won’t get his move to Chelsea now. Hobby was brilliant yesterday, top class.
