Despite all his ability, I still have real reservations about him as a footballer.
We will soon find out.Completely agree. His ability isn't in question. His mentality and his consistency is. I do think that he would excel under a different manager than Mourinho though.
I was thinking about his stamina issues actually.RIP Dele
If he could only keep up his play for a full 90... the possibilities!
Yet again he is shocking.2 years on and he hasn't cut the mustard.
£60 million and some of you fucking idiots think he is world class.Poor old Tanguy (and he does look like a knackered old codger sometimes). Not much from him today again. He's not the answer to our midfield issues. Just doesn't have the engine.
Not his fault, but he's another French failure. We've wasted millions in ligue 1. Not sure if that's on former French scout Hitchen, but it's one of the things that's killing us.
he's not world class but he's our best MF by some ways. notice how we were competing fine and actually looked decent until he and lucas came off? yeah, that's the effect he has on the team.£60 million and some of you fucking idiots think he is world class.
He is not fit to wear the shirt the lazy cunt.
He was decent for the first 30 mins or so, but then ran out of gas. I thought Gio coming off was more of a problem for our midfield.he's not world class but he's our best MF by some ways. notice how we were competing fine and actually looked decent until he and lucas came off? yeah, that's the effect he has on the team.
if we don't have gio or ndombele on the pitch, we're fckedHe was decent for the first 30 mins or so, but then ran out of gas. I thought Gio coming off was more of a problem for our midfield.
We're apparently skint, so we better hope Skipp can step up next season.
We as a team faded away in the second half. I really don’t think it’s a matter of his fitness/attitude issues at all, he tried all he could, he pressed, he dropped deep, he tackled and so on. The team was set up like shit and we lost control of any possession.He was good in the first 45 but he just hasn’t got the legs to last. He never came out for the second half.
If he can’t improve physically he’s never going to make it at this level. Look how Pogba grew into the game as it went on and how Tanguy faded away.
Decent ball into Kane. But I thought if anything was sublime about our goal, it was Kane's first time pass to Moura.Was our only bright spark today in another shocking set up by Jose.
The ball into Kane for the goal was sublime
Careful you don't upset the fanboys.Yet again he is shocking.
He could not look less interested if he tried.
Maybe, but Mourinho has made multiple references to his fitness and attitude. I think it's more lack of engine personally. I think he's trying his best.We as a team faded away in the second half.
