Jahmai Simpson-Pusey

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.
