MOTM for me today. Bags of energy and took up some really intelligent positions. Todays game epitomised what his game should be about high energy, and kept it simple on that left hand side meant Barnes was able to play high and wide and cause havoc. 
 

Would be interested to see him and Madders play as dual 8’s with Ndidi holding. Possibly the way forward for next season.

Touch, control, positioning, work-rate, desire, defensively solid and excellent going forward.

 

Also, linking up with Barnes and Thomas, he gives us another decent left-footed option when you know Barnes wants to cut inside.

 

My couple of criticisms would be that he sometimes takes a little too long to release the ball (a bit of indecision, maybe) and he doesn't seem to have much confidence when shooting (they seem like snapshots as a last resort). When he shoots instinctively, he has good technique (e.g. against Napoli). He just needs to show it more often.

 

He's a really tidy player. With a bit more time, he could be one of our most influential. He and Thomas are probably the best things about this season so far.

Agree with this. If he can learn to play that killer ball then he will be amazing. Couple of times today he carried the ball excellently, but was to slow playing Daka through, who then ran offside expecting the pass which didn’t come.

I’m really enjoying seeing KDH play, brings good energy and athleticism to the middle of the park and is nice and sensible on the ball. Another good performance.

 

He’s one who seems to have his head screwed on so long may he continue to play and grow as he has the potential to be an excellent player for us.

There was a bit in the first half when we’d been pretty awful for 25 minutes, we couldn’t beat West Ham’s press and the ball was given away a few times, with the crowd starting to get on the players backs.

 

KDH launched into a tackle in his own half, a real “get stuck in” job, he won the ball, we broke forward.

 

The atmosphere changed. Everyone was lifted.

 

Game changer.

It makes a mockery of the belief we're entitled, spoilt fans. We're one of the easiest fanbases to get onside- get stuck in, go on a storming run, do something positive and we'll respond.

This is it! It doesn't take a lot to lift the fans.

People understand when we're trying to make things happen and this is the case with KDH, even when he has an off game or period in a game the intention is there.

Moments of individuality and free thought like that won't endear him to our glorious leader. Don't worry though, he'll soon coach that bugger out of him!

 

How's anyone supposed to get to sleep in the stands if he's rushing about and running forward with the ball? Have a heart 🤣

KDH is undropable and should be a mainstay for every game he's fit to start from now until the summer. Some of his biggest qualities are his tenacity, running of the ball, energy, driving runs forwards and aggressive pressing and tackling. Lots of those things we are lacking as a squad so he's a vital player for us right now.

It's his work off the ball that's insane, I'd love to see his distance covered stats
