Why's that?
Because getting Dele on the pitch pretty much ensures taht we don't have 3 in midfield.
Why's that?
2nd goal was because of a terrible over hit pass to his cb. Wasn’t too impressed and I really wanted to be. Know you can’t judge on 1 game but left me feeling a bit mehhh
Exactly - I watched him closely and at times he received the ball with his back to goal on the halfway line with options out wide but was so cautious he just passed the ball backwards every time as he had zero awareness of the options around him. It was the sort of stuff Winks would get absolutely hammered for doing for us.Have a watch of him in the build up to the first goal. It was the keeper’s blunder ultimately but He could of made better decisions in the moments before to ensure the keeper doesn’t even need to have the ball.

Granted it was only one game, but barring the odd block / tackle I was totally underwhelmed.

Southampton as a team were very poor yesterday therefore we can’t judge him on the one game.
He has better defensive stats than Neves and Partey too. Tbh they aren't even DM.Wolves have Neves, Arsenal are reportedly nailed on to sign Thomas Partey, and United are reportedly in the market for a DM as well, I just don't see Hojbjerg as being good enough. He's pretty clearly a level or two below all of those names listed IMO.

only thing I’d say to this, is how impressive was Eriksen when he had 12 months left on his contract for example? How impressive is anyone when they get to this juncture?
I’m neither pro or against this signing but judging one match after he’s been stripped of the captaincy with 12 months to go on his contract in the middle of global pandemic isnt going to tell you anything.
