Optimistic Nut Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I’d have him like. Think at the base of Joelinton & Bruno he’d do well and would give those two a bit more licence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yes, would like hojberg. He is a very good DM and as you say, would give a bit more freedom to those around him. he plays easy short passes and doesnt seem to lose the ball a lot. A calm dfensive presence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was posted on Spurscommunity and I think it’s a fair reflection of the general feeling: Boring answer but I kind of think everyone in this thread is kind of right about him. He's both underrated and overrated by fans at the same time, weirdly. He's a really important player and offers so much to the team as a whole: character, commitment, positional awareness, tackling, interceptions and, on his day, he can pick a nice pass and nick a goal too. It's not that easy to find a player that has all of these traits and I think they sometimes go underappreciated. The idea that he's a top-tier technical player though....not buying that. I think @Flobadob's comments on his technique are pretty fair, and if you watch the midfielders at City, Chelsea, Madrid, Liverpool, Bayern, etc and they pretty much all have better natural ball control and technique than Hojbjerg...some of them significantly. His passing, beyond the simple stuff, is also pretty inconsistent. Not bad by any means, but inconsistent. That doesn't mean he's a bad player or we need to kick him straight out of the team as he offers so many other qualities, but I think it's fine to accept he has certain limitations. And long term, if we truly want to compete with the very top teams over the next few years then I think we need to hold ourselves to the same standards and trying to figure out where we can make marginal gains in the squad, which could mean making Hojbjerg taking on more of a squad role. Seems fair. Supposedly he’s the most vocal in training on asking/questioning Conte about tactics etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He strikes me as a perfect CM for a Prem League club that is up-and-coming, and a perfect backup CM for a PL club that has already come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Nunez and Bissouma being good examples. The aim for the next season or two needs to be at the head of the pack just below them, top 6 or thereabouts. First need to close the gap, and tbh that will be pretty exciting in itself. Absolutely 💯 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple of his performances where he just doesn't track runners or gets played around really comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
