Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[isaac94]

That assist was insane, complete performance

 

[ajspurs]

Captain-like performance today, really marshaled things and you know he loves the responsibility of keeping the ship steady for us.

 

[Spurrific]

How was he not MOTM? Kane and Son were both brilliant obviously, but Højbjerg was unplayable.

 

[King of Otters]

Just need to keep Gio fit and we have our midfield!

I love Ndombele, but there’s still some elements of his game, even at his best, that make me think he’s probably not Jose’s ideal CM.

 

[yusrisafri]

The absolute example for youngsters to emulate if they want to play DM.

What an incredible performance by him today. Tackled excellently, sprayed balls everywhere, playing aggressively without being aggressive (you know what i mean), comfortable on the turn, and that glorious assist for Aurier.

Long may this continue

I was one of his biggest critics after 1 game. I'm going to knock my head on a wall now.

Incredible today. Didn’t expect him to do these kind if performances already for us. Class act and an absolute warrior.

Told you not to worry about his passing at all. Not only that excellent pass to Aurier, but also look ay the passes forwards and how he switches the play with some presice diagonal long balls.

Winks or Sissoko doesn’t come close to that and are not better than him in much else.

I love Ndombele, but there’s still some elements of his game, even at his best, that make me think he’s probably not Jose’s ideal CM.

I don’t disagree but equally Jose will love the idea of being credited with unlocking this guys talent... so long as we’re winning games of course.

After a horror debut, each games he’s proving me wrong, top performance

 

[richard_gleeson]

What a difference to first half vs Southampton

 

[Russ1201]

Brilliant performance, helps so much someone doing the defensive midfield side so the other players can create and score.

 

[GutBucket]

You don't see it often for a midfielder to keep creative midfielders like Pogba and Fernandes in his pocket and also make better passes than them and outcreate them at the same time. Cost us 3m net too.

 

[muppetman]

Very impressive from him today, don't know how many times he nipped in for an interception but felt like it every couple minutes.

 

[NEVILLEB]

Woooowwwww!!!!

What a ******* player

 

[dtxspurs]

He brings that balance we’ve been missing for years.

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

Outstanding, my man of the match by a distance, in a team that was hard to fault apart from the first 30 secs. That was just a worldie from him. I so hope thats his new level.

 

[NEVILLEB]

This guy has shown how bad some of our other midfielders are in defence. He did the basics exceptionally well.

 

[werty]

I love his arrogance.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

shows a good example for winks

 

[HildoSpur]

He isn't flashy but my god he is good.

 

[NorthernYido]

His reading of the game today was incredible, interesting to see stat on number of tackles / interceptions
