Hahaha - what?
Dembele was one of the most technically skilled players in the Prem and used to glide past players 1v1. He was nothing like Winks who cannot beat a man and simply plays is sideways to the CBs

I totally agree with your point about successful passes getting lower the more ambitious they are, totally.
Please don't compare Dembele to Winks though. It makes my soul hurt seeing them compared.
What a coincidence .. Ndombele was the most skilled member in Lyon squad (designed by his mates)
Man, just shut the fuck up. Man's gone for a few years, and fools already forgetting what a beast he was.
Every Spurs player rated him as the best in the team, Poch was just about ready to suck his dick, and Trippier was still complaining about us selling him after he left for Atletico. He made Winks look good for a short time.
Am I gonna have to link a Dembele highlight reel here?
Happy Winks noises
Yeah Kane and Son both put in a great 90 against Leicester :mourfacepalm:
Dele need to do something ... it's his chance ..

Yup... but it still hurts so much to think he'll likely be gone in Jan,
He will enjoy to watch Neymar from the bench
Thats ridiculous . His passing % is low because he keeps trying to open up the opposition with eye of the needle passes as the rest of the team is very uncreative.

That's true, but it doesn't fully absolve him of harry7 accusation. A lot of the time he's trying to make risky passes when they're just not on.
He's often falling on his arse, under pressure and he launches a pass without properly assessing the state of play. Just needs to calm it down a bit sometimes, a couple of more baward and sideways passes would help his overall game IMO. A bit like PEH, a few unambitious passes helps to retain possession, and makes pressing him even more frustrating for the opposition.
Id take Dembele back over Winks or even Ndombele anyday.
Looks like it

Dembele a 6’1” Winks???
LOL
He just needs time to improve his fitness. The effort level is totally different to last season, now he is always trying hard with and without the ball.
He's starting regular matches and played for 75 minutes against Leeds, he just needs more football, more training sessions. In time his legs and lungs will improve and allow him to stay explosive beyond the initial 30 minutes.

True they weren't great, but Son's played 1791 mins, Kane played 1844 mins, Ndombele's only played 1195 mins. A bit more understandable that they (like the whole team) were feeling the fatigue.
When we returned against Leeds most of the team, including PEH, Kane and Son were looking much more lively, and all three played practically the whole 90 mins. Ndombele was starting to struggle by 70 mins once again.
I didn't say anything for a long time, but he's surely had enough time to adjust. Fitness is the easy part, eat right, work out. Don't have to think about tactics, develop great technique, there's no performance anxiety or pressure.

I can respect this view, even though I'm not as optimistic. Just very annoying how some users think this is no longer an issue.
When you compare a player like Bergwijn, PEH, or a recent addition to the PL like Fernandes covering every blade of grass week in week out, Ndombele's lack of zip is incredibly irritating.
