Oliver Skipp

[Bishop]

Skipp played a lot of vertical passes on the Wolves game. Seems to be coming back from injury really well. Wolves players were rough on him but he kept on soldiering on without losing his cool the entire game.

Not the biggest fan of Skipp's passing but he did play very progressively, especially in the first half. I hope he keeps that kind of vertically going forward, it adds loads to his game and makes him a lot more useful.

Another great performance. His pass for Richy was super and passing in general was really good.

 

[Lilbaz]

I remember the beginning of last season our win rate with him in the team was far higher than without.

Similar now. Obviously a small sample size, but he seems to work.

 

[Chrissivad]

He is just a solid player.
Not standing out in anything in particular, but can do most things well.

Just like Kante, Makelele, Wanyama, and all good DMs

He's more than just solid. Only 22 and he's already looking like one of the best DMs in the league.

Was hoping to see a bit of Devine this season.

I've only seen him on Spursplay this season and they have only one camera angle. He seems to be struggling playing in a poor U21 side. I believe the club did not let go on loan for his HG/training status, he needs to play with some good experienced players to help his development..

I thought he was excellent today, always showing for the ball and played some very progressive passes, would have been a beautiful assist for Richie’s “goal”.

His passing and confidence is really coming along. He's being more adventurous and drives us forward. Quietly impressing.

Yeah, they both got robbed today, filthy assist and goal

 

[Robspur12]

Just love this kid. And he's one of our own which makes it even better.

That was noticeable, previously the only player who constantly is hustling to make himself available for the ball at all times is Royal (probably Bentancur as well), good to see Skipp do it

 

[parklane1]

My m.o.m to be honest, this guy is going to be a very good player. He has suffered with illness and injury but as long as he can stay fit he will be a major player as he gets older.

 

[superspurs]

If he carries on and stays injury free he'll be taking Rice's spot in the England team within the next 2 years.

 

[Lilbaz]

He's one of those, doesn't excell really at anything. Good all round. But you win more when he's in the team.

 

[Chrissivad]

He seems to set a better tempo to the team.

I would like to see how he plays with Bentacur. Not sure they have played together much.

 

[Lemonade Money]

He's actually super skillful, but doesn't use it on the pitch unless he has to. Safety first. If he stays fit, he'll only get better. Said it before, should be first name on the team sheet, as he protects the defense and allows the team to keep possession and play. He's the engine room.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Has he ever started with Bentancur? Feels like that CM would have a nice balance to it.

No, not that I can remember
I actually think you need pairings with midfielders more so now with us playing a 2
Hojbeeg works well with bentacur
Skipp worked well with sarr
What did work better yesterday was they got closer to each other so they were backing each other when defending and supporting each other when driving

Can't believe this thread is 5 pages down.
For me this guy has been our best performer over the last few games.
Our motm yesterday.
