Our manager said that NDombele was reluctant to start because he felt he wasn’t fully fit from the previous groin injury.
Our manager has a history of throwing his own players under the bus.
You don’t seem to have seen the games where NDombele has been very good? Did you miss those? I mean I’ve seen you call Sissoko outstanding in games where he’s ambled around doing fuck all, so you must have been blown away by most of Ndombele’s games, no? Or have you just missed them?

That's not an opinion that's a fact. You're saying he could be good is an opinion.
Just as I have an opinion that I don't think he will be very good, if he turns out to be fantastic I'll be delighted.
It’s the January window mate, nobody is leaving their club unless they have something wrong with them.
Thats why we are going for loans, we can cut our losses and reset in the summer if they don’t do well. We will then be able to invest properly in a higher calibre of player.
Lets take Lo Celso for instance. He's been available throughout Mourinho's tenure. He could easily have brought him up to speed earlier, had he handed him more playing time. It's just taken Mourinho forever to realize that Lo Celso is better than Eriksen.
I've said it before, I'll jump the Mourinho-wagon when he shows something on the pitch I can get behind. There were some okay signs in the first half yesterday, but still a long way to go. I'd REALLY wish, he'd push the back line a bit higher so the midfielders shoulden't cover so much ground.
He hasn't gone yet.
I think Lampard would have gone with this approach even without the ban. He might have brought in one or two marquee signings.
Go easy on him; he's just butthurt cos he was grossly mistaken about Eriksen's strength of character during the constant debate that took place over the summer.
Amirite,

? 
Sprinkled with a little 'Poch ain't coming back" dust and the poor lamb has gone full emo.
He needs our love and support right now.

I’ve seen Ndombele play ok, as I said if people see a top top player then they should be praising Levy a bit more often.
Jose has basically mocked Ndombele (rightly or wrongly) twice now. Doesn’t a lack of diagnosis make you wonder?
Doesn’t five separate injuries yet he keeps coming back make you wonder?

It might well be a case of Jose won’t accept just any DM and has someone lined up for the summer, and he knows he just can’t get him in January.
Don’t think Jose would ever fill any key position with just any player.
And Kane and Sissoko are still out, and Lamela has only been back for two weeks hence his game time
Telling you want a fight the day we sign someone. Did it ruin your Levy bashing speech for February 1st
I'm sure you'd be positively effervescent if we chose that path instead..... Lol
There is always a reason to bash Levy.
I could live with it.
It’s taken Jose forever?
He’s been integrated after a few weeks of Jose coming here.
Poch said new signings take two years. Look how he treated Moura ffs
What exactly is your problem?
Was winning a match and making a signing in 12hours a bad day for you?
Nothing to complain about but you complain anyway.
Yeah and making a January signing is the new one
:mourbringit:
I think he has pinned his colours on Dier, who I still don't think is fully fit.
Except that's not what happened yesterday, in the first 45 minutes the front three were covering back and allowing the midfield to sit deeper, they did a pretty good job of stopping long balls reigning down on our back five. As the game wore on that intensity dropped and their back four and midfield were given a lot more time and space and started finding their range ... you could see it happening, I bet Jose was feckin' livid.
Despite what the papers say we were dominating the game playing at about 80% - only when we dropped to 50% did they get a look in .... pushing up the back line against a team whose only attacking plan is long balls over the top ... that makes no sense ... stop the long balls being played and don't let forwards run in behind. We did that with ease for 45 minutes then we lost focus (yet again) and stopped pressing from the front ... that was all on us.
