Fitness improved tooNdombele covered more distance (10.94km) than any other Spurs player today and had the highest average speed of all starters.
defo better deeper. more players in front of him gives him more options and ways of ruining a team. love itHe makes us tick. Jose has to trust him ahead of winks and sissoko. It’s a no brainier.
Made for that deeper role.
I think tnrw criticism Jose gave him against Burnley was defo unfair. The stats did not back up the criticism. Tenet have been plenty of players during last 18 months who have fucked up royally and Jose let’s it pass specifically dier and davies. They don’t get the same treatment being called out publically. Ndombele is one of our truly skilful players and we need as many of them as possible.

He is almost guaranteed to be the #8.5I think that might be the game that convinces Jose he can play as an 8
Still not sure what we got for our 60 million quid really. Sure he looks decent on the ball and can beat a man but he's a long way off convincing me we didn't have our pants pulled down a bit.
Needs to do much more to influence a game like tonight
N'Dombele's attitude improved at the exact moment Dele Alli's attitude went bad apparently.Mate there's people on THIS thread tonight still passing off this crap. The bloke was doing when he arrived then got injured then the bloke he came here for has a melt down then gets Covid, then struggled to get fit(ask Dier went through the same thing post illness but weirdly his mentality was never questioned. I wonder why).Now he is back at his correct level the same as he was at Lyon ripping the ass of of City and Barca and its some how because of Mourinho's genius tough love. LMFAO
Comparing some of those Lyon clips, I actually think he’s improved. He doesn’t hold
on to the ball as long; beats the press and then looks to pass immediately.
Sissoko behind Kane? You want us to get relegated?The reason Mourinho plays him further forward was because he wasn't defensively as sound as he has shown in the past few games
Now he can start deep and we can play Sissoko behind Kane
Ever heard of sarcasm?Sissoko behind Kane? You want us to get relegated?
