It was the passing.
It was the energy that he showed.
He was the player that epitomised how Bournemouth played today.
Everything about his game was sensational.
If you look at all the touches on the ball, perhaps not as high as what he would have liked, but the passes, the tackles, interceptions, and the distances covered there as well.
And what you perhaps can't see on TV sometimes at home is that Bournemouth pressed and went man for man.
Every time they had a goal kick, Tottenham did this against Man City a few weeks ago, but he was the one that was organising it.
He was the one that was saying to people, yeah, let's press.
And that's a brave thing to do against a really good Tottenham side.
They were at Sermon as well today, so he had to make a change.
But I thought he was unbelievable.
Honestly, as Tim says, I was in awe of his performance.
It's massive for him, because I'm sure he's fed up with pundits, the press, the media.
You can even see he bristled when he was asked the question there in the interview.
He's fed up talking about it.
He's proved to himself that he can play 90 minutes.
I think it's important.
I mean, he didn't have a lot of choice, to be honest, to manage it, because he had to, because they were picking up injuries.
But I thought he did really well today, and it was tough in there, because he's playing against Dembele, he's playing against Wanyama.
you know, big units.
