Like Spurs supporters who didn’t think Carrick was all that and used to say “Yeah but what does he do“
Not the brightest....

I do think pace is important but do agree that speed of thought is also vital. I did say that he seemed intelligent and its that intelligence that stands out in his positional play and anticipation as he showed yesterday.
Maybe I am judging him on the Everton game but to be honest everyone was shit.
He was excellent and orchestrated the defence in their positional play pretty well

That Sissoko pass was not superbly weighted.

Don't think it's any coincidence that he looked so good in an orthodox DM role today in the middle of a CM3. He was breaking stuff up and driving forward when appropriate. He was also dropping between the CBs to allow the wingbacks to get forward. The games where he's been poor have been when he was used in a Pivot and instructed to chase the ball about and try to make turn overs. That was leaving the defensive duties to Winks or Sissoko which always seemed pretty daft to me. Keep him in this role and he'll become an outstanding DM for us in the true sense of the word.

He is playing with better players and can play his own game now rather than covering aspects of other player's game. He looked weaker against Southampton because he still had to do other people's jobs like he was last season.
Thriving and would be buzzing if he maintains this form as he seems a fantastic professional and passionate.

Looked better with the physical presence of sissoko next to him rather than winks. Shame we aren’t going to get another defensive midfielder in because if we did we would be strong in there.

It was wonky and overhit but still pretty decent (for him).That Sissoko pass was not superbly weighted.

Blinder yesterday.
I wasn’t sure of his touch and passing range, but if he plays anything like that more often than not he’s gonna he fkin massive.
it helps that he doesn’t fall into the temptation of pissing about with it unproductively with Winks, but this is more about him... his reading of the game and spatial awareness... what a ball for Serge

Imagine Saints fans were saying he's dodgy at passing. What a joke. His passing is actually one of the strongest parts of his game. He's not gonna be spraying 60 yard cross field balls onto a wingers toe but in terms of getting it and passing quickly through the lines this guy has that in abundance. He definitely looks better as a single pivot rather than being in a double pivot and having to press higher up the field.
As others have said, I look forward to seeing the Lo Celso/Hojbjerg/NDombele dream midfield.

His passing is superior to Winks’. No doubt in my mind.
Looks an intelligent player who enjoys the abrasive aspects of the game, reads the game well, has a positive influence on those around him and seems to lead by example. His passing is more than adequate given that profile of player.
At 25, and for about 18m, that is a brilliant signing.

Spurs enforcer Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg warns 'we've not even started'
Spurs have not come close to reaching their potential despite their 6-1 demolition of Manchester United, according to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who was credited with dominating the midfield.

Gio is going to crush it in Sissoko's box-to-box role.
Slot Bale in for Lamela and Lo Celso in for Sissoko, and you have a team that can beat any side in the world.

The whole team was miles off against Everton. It was the worst game we’ll play all season, just not sharp after a basically non-existent pre-season.
Team is certainly starting to buzz now and PEH is just so much better than we probably all expected him to be. Not the most glitzy of signings maybe but a leader and absolutely full of energy. You can tell he just loves it, loves winning, loves battling and will do anything for his team-mates. There was one point in the first half where serge made a sliding tackle and PEH celebrated it with a double fist pump like he’d scored a winning penalty.
We haven’t even seen him Lo Celso and Ndombele all together and in full flow. It’s going to be pretty awesome.

Lets hope he can produce that on a consistent basis because he’s going to be playing a lot.
