For me one Hojbjerg actually is very good at is shooting. Ok, he's no Maddison, but he's a very decent striker of the ball from 20 odd yards out.

Yeah, he strikes the ball, as long as it's not from a particularly tight angle or if running/turning, but you definitely wouldn't mind the ball falling to him on the edge of the box.
One of the better ones with Dejans
Love it
Underrated composure second half on a yellow.
Let's be honest, Vieira went off crying because he couldn't keep up with him.
Still loads to improve but today will have been very good for him.

Probably been said elsewhere but was pleased with how all the players that picked up first half yellows handled themselves
thought it was his worst game today. a sarr bad game still isnt too damaging though, his legs and fitness make sure that he still offers you something. good experience for him out there today.
Parr doesn't always get the praises he deserves and he's almost become an unsung hero at Spurs. He reminds me a bit of Kanté, although they play in (slightly) different positions.
Sarr adds a lots of energy (looks as if he can run all day long) and does a lot of the "dirty" work, running around closing down players & gaps/space, pressurizing, making interceptions and pushing forward.
And he's scored 1 goal and assisted 1 goal - something Bissouma hasn't done so far this season.
He's still only 21 and this is his first season as a regular starter in a totally different playing system than under Conte. And yet he's adjust so well.

What I don't understand is why in the second half we had Biss sitting and Sarr further up the pitch sitting behind the front 3. For me Biss is miles more technical and Sarr doesn't really have that ability to open a team up through the middle. He's a work horse. Sissoko Mk2
Do not slander baby Yaya
You couldn't be further from the truth, Sissoko MK2?
Baby Yaya is far closer to the mark. This 'boy' is only at the start of his journey and will be one of the top midfielders in World Football, of that I have no doubt.
I liked Sarr the moment I saw him in a Spurs shirt and think he has more to his game than Skipp.
I was worried that the role would be too much for him given his age but am happy to say he has proved me wrong. A lot of his work goes unnoticed which is testament to how well he is playing.
And to think he is only 21. Probably wouldn’t have seen regular first team action under either Mourinho or Conte.

Sarr was fucking immense yesterday.
Rewatch the game. He dominated everyone.
We were wasteful with so many of the balls he won from pressure high up the pitch.
Sonny and Madders the biggest culprits

PEH strength at attack point of view is his long range passing. He does it better than Sarr.
Sarr is less error prone under press and pacier
Apart from above, very little in between them.
Biggest reason prefer Sarr is age. So much higher ceiling.
Covers more ground, wins more tackles, better technically and braver in tight spaces.
Just a better fit for the football we play
I'd say somewhere in between, he's certainly a more intelligent and technically gifted footballer than Sissoko. He gets into good areas and reads the game and general play well. Covers a lot of ground and at speed as well.
His weaknesses are end product / final ball which is ok but not great and his shooting , which I said a few games ago was his biggest weakness. He will never be a Yaya unless that aspect of his game improves. Nothing I've seen in the games since has remotely changed my mind regarding his ball striking , it's very poor. He also chooses to shoot a lot from miles out , which unless your a Jimmy Case or a Lampard/ Gerrard is the wrong option. Needs to calm down and keep it simple.
I got 3 funnies for this!
