Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[Audere!Audere!]

Get the feeling he'll be one of those players that, by the time he leaves the club in the summer, those cold hearts will have warmed up to him.

Ange seems to have found the happy medium with PEH's game recently.

I've always liked him, not my favourite player ever, but you know you can't have 11 Modric's out there and like in other sports you need squad or role players. He's one of them.

He's a great player to have off the bench.

I accept there are parts of his game which don't quite suit our style but last night showed exactly why he still has a part to play here. His physically really shored up the midfield and his introduction definitely contributed to an improvement.

Not the most flashy player but does a job.

Great news!

I'm actually really pleased about this. I think he's been very good when coming on from the bench, helping us see out games and even helping turning games around when needed.

The only major issue with him is when he's been asked to take the ball on the half-turn with his back to goal whilst being pressed, that's hard even for those more accomplished at it (when Madders dropped deep to collect - he got caught at Woolwich - Biss is excellent at it - but then struggled with it lately, probably as a consequence of oppo knowing the routine and also his own confidence taken a dip. Even Bentancur has lost duels).

As a BTW I thought Donley's foul late on in the game just after coming on was great, stopped Brentford's counter and was correctly given a yellow for it. There was another clever fall to the ground a few moments after which brought us a free kick and broke up the play when needed, basically did some really competent defensive work - not bad for an attacker.

I’ve defended Hojbjerg from a lot of over the top criticism but his passing today has been terrible.

Whats he doing

 

[Darnswim]

Genuinely curious to see his passes stats. Gave the ball away countless times. Absolutely terrible today.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Hope he goes in the summer. Thank god we got a wonderkid coming in the summer

Aside from the woeful passing. There were a couple of times he could have easily won possession without going to ground, but instead chose to dive in, resulting in chaos.

 

[glacierSpurs]

One game he's good and the other he can be terrible. Very inconsistent to think he still wants to stake a claim in the starting XI. Over half a season gone with Big Ange and he still couldn't grasp the type of midfield play he should be playing.

 

[LeddersKingers]

An engine with no finesse. Forget his passing, he had a few effort son goal that border on comical. Not hating on him as he has never been a great player, but FFS his technique would make even Sean Dyche blush

 

[thinktank]

I don't like always being right, when it's so detrimental to the team.

Trust me.

I'd always rather be given a bowl of shit to eat by players proving me wrong.

Really? Out of all the shocking performances, this one gets the traffic? Dude wasn't even on the pitch for last 10 mins when Everton scored and were still on top.
What an easy target

 

[VonnegutBusy]

The sooner we see the back of PEH the better.

Thanks for the service but simply not good enough technically for the system we are trying to play. Makes everyone around him worse when he starts games.

He’s an easy target as midfield was shocking and he is an integral part of that.

Runs around like a headless chicken and gives the ball away. Salvages his reputation with the odd classy long pass or shot

Precisely.

This is the issue.

He’s always been like that veers from good to anonymous/liability

It’s the type of pass he tries too…. He can ping a decent long range switch but struggles to play a quick, short forward pass under pressure

 

[Zomb]

There’s no place for him this season, make it stop

 

[LEGO Boy]

Not good today at all. Gave the ball away cheaply numerous times.
