What does "build a team around" a player even mean? We can't base our whole formation and tactics around one player, it all falls apart at the next injury.
In reality Lo Celso and Ndombele need to be made first choice picks within a system that works for the majority of our best players.

If we ever get everyone fit Jose will have a difficult time deciding the best 11. You can mix and match the players we have in so many different ways.
 
Many players play well for teams in other european teams but just dont shine in our league. Thought hes gona be one of those

And what did you base this on? Ffs he'd hardly played since he arrived. Nothing quite like giving a player a chance before passing judgement is there. :mourcheeks:
 
GLC and Ndombele have achieved virtually nothing in a Spurs shirt so far - neither of them have established themselves in the side yet so the suggestion that the team should be built around them is somewhat silly.

That’s the first priority and for them to perform to level their fee suggested which neither have. Their failure to do that is one of the reasons behind our form this season.

Both clearly have talent by this endless hyperbolism from our supporters has to stop it doesn’t benefit anyone.

Kind off agree with that.

But they both need a solid base to perform (good dm)

Seriously fuck off with your negative shite, you haven't a clue.

What you want from any player is to step up and be even better than the optimistic view.

Lo Celso beginning to adapt but early days.
 
he looks a good player, only concern for me is lots of his final passes in to penalty box keep getting cut out/hit defenders, yes its the hardest pass (threading though eye of needle) he can see the pass (which is great) as for me only Kane & Eriksen see that early pass and we are losing eriksen
just hope GLC keeps trying these eye of needle balls and they start coming off

Eriksen stopped making those passes ages ago. The only reason GLC is getting any passes missed at all is because he is the only person trying something. The rest just look for the safest option. Sonny and Lucas are better on the other end of the pass and Dele's brother has been up too late playing Fortnite to be of much use.

We have been doing the sideways or backpass so long that if you watch us off the ball hardly anybody bothers to make a run anymore.

Do you even watch Spurs games, and if you do are you blind? By far the most attempted forward passes into the final third in our last two games have been made by Dele, if the players he set up could finish he'd have had three assists to go with his goal against Norwich.

Having an opinion however deluded is everyone's right ... making up shit to support that opinion is just stupid ... especially when there are a mountain of statistics that will easily prove you wrong ...

LoCelso tries the spectacular pass, definitely a spark of genius there, but it was Dele with defence splitting slide-rule passes to Son (twice) and Lucas that should have seen us put Southampton away ... suggest you watch a video replay and then think again.
