Was working during tonight’s game...
All I want to see is how Ndombele played, waiting for someone to put up a highlight of him.
For me, he’s one of the most important puzzles in the team, I don’t know if people agree with me but I think his potential is very very high and it will affect our team in a massive way.

definitely. More of tonight please.
Was so much better in the second half: might have been the other team tiring, or just GLC on to partner him and runners moving - but played strongly. Good game.
He needs an orthodox DM along side him not winks. They do exsist and a real passing midfielder or Locelso and we will look like a team.
Even an average DM would be enough between those two. Good thing we already have an average DM.
May have been my dodgy stream but I couldn't tell. Was that Tanguy that tracked all the way back mid way through the second half to head the ball away from a likely goal on the counter from a cross?
Tonight should really do the world of good for his confidence
Showed real passion tonight like Levy did in his O levels
People keep on taking about our new signings this summer but none of the players we signed last summer produced. If we can get the likes of Ndombele to produce to the level we paid a record fee for it will be massive. He is getting better but there is still a long way to go.
Lo Celso was one of the least offenders last season, I might say.
Just to fuck with you, I'm going to make a highlight package but mix everything up and then you have to guess at what point of the match Ndombele did what.
You will not guess correctly.
Exactly what I think but with a bonus, Hojbjerg is real good in take back possession while lack a lot in other areas of his game (an unbalanced average DM but very good in what we needs the most). But Ndombele and Lo Celso, despite being creative players, can offer a lot in defense too. I doubt that it will be another team in the EPL with a better pair on CM than those two when they get fit.
Ok, do it quickly, off you go!
I still don't get why some people still can't recognise Gio's importance to the team - I'd argue only Kane and Son rank ahead of him in that respect.
As for Ndombele, lets hope he can build on this. We are inching closer to a Hojberg, Gio and Ndombele three game by game.
When Gio came on and he moved to DM I thought, fuck here we go Tanguy’s defensive frailties will come out and Jose will have an excuse to fuck him off back to the bench.
The opposite happened he took it in his stride, tracking runners, making tackles, barging men off the ball. Even winning fucking aerial duels. It fucking astonished me and I loved it. . .
Then I realised that this will give Jose an excuse to play him as the deepest midfielder while Hojberg gets moved up to the 10 position so that we can “press from the front”.
