The first player born in the 21st century to play a Premier League game for us too and the youngest player to play for Tottenham since Gareth Bale 11 years ago.
 
A few traits Poch seem to like in a CM are size/physical presence, workrate, tenacity, consistency, mobility and reliability plus being technically proficient.

Skipp seems to score highly against all these, so hopefully the first of many appearances
 
Looked great in the air in the short time he had on the pitch, perhaps it was against a Saints team that where tired and no longer interested but looked to really impose himself on the game.

Good (and very welcome) first start for the youngster !
 
Done well.

18 years old, let's not forget that. Made one monstrous tackle in the first half and was comfortably on the ball. Did turn into trouble a few times but that's to be expected from someone so young and inexperienced. Didn't shy away from the ball though and actually made some real nice forward passes which were fizzed through with accuracy.

Keep working hard and you'll be a star here Skippy!

Does this mean we have seen the last of Onamah (in the THFC kit?)

edit - Just wondering nothing against the lad but it appears he may have beeen superseded.
 
Got very high hopes for this one. Early days but I rate him higher than Winks I absolutely love his touch and tenacity

Ps not that I don't rate Winks, I just love the look of this kid, he's a blend of Parker, Dembele & Winksy & the kind I love seeing come through the academy
 
Did well today. What impressed me was that he took responsibility more than once. Dropping into cover CB and being there when it was necessary. Too many young players tend to hide.

What will be will be, but for today he should be proud of himself.

Now work even harder ! Good luck with your career fella
