I didn't watch the game, did he have a poor one? Quietly effective. Not as prominent as Rupp, but didn't do a great deal wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted October 31, 2020 Emi back to his best today. Looked a lot happier and for me MOM. Thought Rupp had his best game so far. If we need a current scapegoat I would probably say Skipp. We are very vulnerable on breakaways and I think this is partly due to Skipp somehow not closing the gaps as well as the ageing Tettey. Appears to me that Farke has regained the team spirit. A lot more happier faces out there today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched the game back this afternoon, and I swear the commentators didn't have his name and number written down. He wasn't mentioned at all until about two minutes before half time. There were quite a few silences when a Norwich player had the ball, so I assume that was Skipp.... maybe you want your defensive midfielder to be like referees, they are doing best when you don't hear anything from them.

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted November 1, 2020 Skipp made at least two crucial actions that I recall, once when we were turned over and very vulnerable to counter , he made an early innocuous foul that stopped Bristol in their tracks. A few mins later he stepped in and took the ball in our own box when they were queuing up to score. All round solid performance. Dont recall any howlers. There again I didnt look out for him in particular, just what I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 527 Posted November 1, 2020 Has anyone commented that had Emi missed that goal he should/would have had a penalty as he was pushed in the back as he was about to shoot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rufus 56 Posted November 1, 2020 Agree with a couple of posters that Skipp had a quietly effective game which appears to be his role, keep possession, make the easy pass more often than not and shield the defence thereby allowing our flair players to hurt the opposition. He is young and far from perfect but imo he is doing the job he came here to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,431 Posted November 1, 2020 Emi was great yesterday and most certainly is not overrated. I do wish that he would celebrate a City goal though? Conspicuous by his absence from any celebrations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
