66 | Jahmai Simpson-Pusey - 2024/25

I loved the part of his game last night in which Tottenham intercepted the ball in midfield, Kulusevski had the ball with Solanke onside making the run in behind, Simpson-Pusey stepped up in time to ball him offside otherwise Solanke was clean through.

Numerous small details to his game last night that was so impressive, Skipping past Solanke and playing a forward pass into midfield, He tried a few diagonal passes too, A few in which didn't work out but he mixed it up and took risks with the ball at such a young age.

I mentioned that same moment yesterday. Many seasoned pro's would chase him back there as it's the easier thing to do but he executed that step up to perfection, showed great intelligence and composure to do so.

Also thought it was telling that pep trusted him to go in at centre back, could easily have switched gvardiol to cb and stuck him left back as we all know Pep has a habit of blooding players in less risky wide positions.

Can we play him and Whatmuff in an FA Cup match should we get a favourable draw at home?

We had no problems playing Dickov.

This is from a Liverpool channel, but Simpson-Pusey is his nephew. Thought this was nice to see and wanted to share it:

I was watching on a stream and missed the sub. I just assumed it was one of our senior players until the commentator mentioned his name. Clearly comfortable in the 1st team.

Same here.

Looked like he belonged, stand out despite such a short cameo. Academy defenders tend to be great on the ball but don’t do much defending as part of their development, so that moment where he stepped up on Solanke encouraged me. Could be one that properly makes the step up in a few years to be proper first team player if development goes well.

Are his family not from Yorkshire? Dads brother full on Scouse lad

A different Uncle is a friend of mine. He comes from Deighton Huddersfield. I assume most of the family come from there. But I think they also have relatives in Manchester.

He's been at the club for a long, long time and has always been highly regarded. He is a front foot defender with good technique and an ability to bring the ball out of defence and release it with accuracy. He definitely has a shot at a successful career in the game. He is also very strongly built for his age and possibly already has the physical presence to cope, as does Callum Doyle whose loans have been consistently excellent.

For supporters like myself, who don't watch our youth football, information like this is interesting and informative.

Thanks for posting this.
