wcorkcanary 4,765 Posted October 24, 2021 Just watched 2nd half Hammers v Spuds. Ollie Skipp was not in the least impressive, comfortable or effective. Not sure he'd have saved us this season. 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canaries north 155 Posted October 24, 2021 He might not have saved us but if we had a genuine defensive midfielder like skipp we might be able to play 4 at the back rather than 5 and actually use some of the winger's we have spent (for us) a lot of money on and try to pen the opposition back a bit rather than soaking up so much pressure. I love Norman but he is not a true defensive midfielder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Norman but he is not a true defensive midfielder. Fair point, but even playing next to Hojberg he looked hurried and under pressure, not the controlled aggressive patrolling of his patch that he showed in the league below. I accept he may well improve with experience in the prem. Also agree about Normann, would be more useful with a true DM next to him as he likes to get about a bit as they say, but many useful attributes . .... including a very striking pout at times . ...anyone would think he knew the camera was on him😉😇👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Load of Squit 6,260 Posted October 24, 2021 Spurs were an embarrassment to the Premier League, they should make it 18 teams and get rid of the dross from White Hart Lane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pritch 3 Posted October 25, 2021 Personally thought he was Spurs' best player, though not much competition admittedly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
