I love PEH and think he is a far better footballer creatively too than people give him credit for. Thought he looked great when Bissouma came on to form a three and he was allowed to bomb forward. He showed some skill and great passes into Sons path and for the goal.

I know he misplaces passes but do think the two gets alot of shit from facing a three - theyre just chasing shadows a lot of the time and they get crowded out when they do get the ball.

Proper player, i like that now he has competition for his spot he has taken it up a gear, shows great character that and more of what we need.

Must be frustrating for our midfield two - usually they’re scrapping against 3 and making the best of it but tonight both of them played really well and dominated but the front three all brought their clown shoes…

Done well recently, but we really need someone else in there to compliment our current pairing.

I think he and Bentancur were arguably our best two (or two of the three) best players. I also feel they COULD offer more going forward if given the license to do so.

I reckon a three in the middle could really work. If only we had one of the best DMs in the league sitting on the bench, itching to go....

That skill in the 2nd half :cool: I think it gets referred to as the Zidane. He's done a few times as well, shame we didn't do more with the attack on that one.
The yellow card was a joke though, refs are taking the piss with those.

problem is, conte doesnt see the bissouma type as a player to sit in a 3, he sees that type as a creative type who can play the passes. He made comments on it recently.
