He was good yesterday.

Huge amount of passes. Three times more than Eriksen.
He was good but still got caught in possession a few times where our better midfielders would likely have dribbled or accelerated out of trouble.

I believe its hojberg that loses the ball for example in the motd2 clip where utd disposess us. They claim it's good pressing by utd but really hojberg could have been more aware and shifted away.

Hojberg is a great squad player but his weaknesses are clear. He suffers under pressure when there is no pass on out of it as he's not good at dribbling his way out, and he hasn't got a great turn of pace.

I'd definitely keep him as a squad option though if we don't have a better replacement. The guy is a comsummate pro with a warriors attitude.

Just reading that article, Alex Pritchard is 30 years of age. Let that sink in, seemed like yesterday he was a promising youngster for us.

As for Napoli, they don't have the cash to buy Hoijberg, so I'd be surprised. They didn't have 25m euro for Dragusin and spurs will be asking for at least that, probably more.

This is totally off topic, but at my restaurant I sometimes freeze leftover basque cheesecake and make it into ice cream. It’s like crack.
I just told my Basque girlfriend this.... and I think she wants to hunt you down and murder you sorry! I want to hunt you down and eat the ice cream however 🤤

Where is this crack selling restaurant
Copenhagen, it’s called Contento :)

Interesting reaction, it’s not like I’m putting pineapple on a pizza in front of Italians (I love pineapple on pizza though, but that’s another discussion). 😂

Do you just mix up the cheesecake with some cream and freeze, or is there more to it than that?

Just to bring this thread back on topic, are we thinking an adequate bid comes in for PEH this window and also will we be replacing him? Just my opinion but I would expect he stays to the summer now when the options for him to move may open up. We're not going to do Napoli or anyone else a favour to let him go on the cheap.

I just freeze it, it’s the perfect mix already. Then there’s something called a pack jet, which spins up your hard frozen ice cream base to the right consistency. Costs 2-3k pounds though, not for a home kitchen.

On PEH, I feel like he stays too, and I don’t mind that. He’s a solid back up and it doesn’t seem like there’s the right interest for him right now. One for the summer I think.

Also I don’t see Levy doing anyone any favours.

PEH is miles better than him. Napoli should throw that offer our way.

Can’t believe Forest have rejected that tbh.
