Ex-Spurs Player Tanguy Ndombele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Anyone who believes this bollocks wants their bumps feeling. This wouldn't explain him "doing well in training" then "performing well in games" then being dropped, which is what happened a few times.

Here's another cycle we saw last season.

1. Works hard to get fit.
2. Plays in Mourinho tactical shitshow
3. Gets publicly blamed for Mourinho tactical shitshow
4. Demotivated.

Here's another one:

1. Trains well
2. Shows he's easily our most talented midfielder
3. Sits on bench and watches Mason bring on fucking Sissoko in a cup final we are losing.
4. Demotivated
In the second scenario , number 3 shoud lbe, watches fucking winks undeservedly start a final who then fails miserably again. Fucking Mason.
 
Who has he actually performed well against? You could count his good games against decent opposition on two hands, even less the 'good' ones where he managed 90 mins.
Thought he was very good vs Southampton, Chelsea, Man Utd, West Ham, Burnley, Man City, Chelsea, Wolves, Leeds, Brentford, Fulham and Sheffield last season, not including Europa games. Poor from about January on, though wasn't everybody outside of Kane, Hugo, maybe Lucas.

What Chelsea games do you have in mind?

Both league games were fucking appalling front to back.
 
At that point it begs the question, is he at fault or Nuno?

He has had his issues obviously. But if you don't even give him a chance, then the manager is obviously picking favourites and that's never ever good.

Poch gave Ndombele plenty of starts but often yanked off after 45 or 60 minutes, Mourhino had problems with him too as did Mason - so maybe the 4th manager (Nuno) has learnt to demand Ndombele get fit to play 90 minutes as anyone earning £200k pa should expect to do. That's not playing favourites at all.

So to answer your question - Ndombele clearly the problem.
 
Well given he hasn't played a single minute of competitive football this season there are actually excuses for him not dominating this match.

I don't care who the player is if they never play, they're not going to be at their best when they do play.
That’s his fault for not training hard and not being mentally prepared. He made this situation, he needs to work his way out of it and prove he deserves to play Sunday.
 
Then why on earth have you been defending winks all this time. He is the epitomy of wimpishness.

Mate.... There is a big difference between objecting to the relentless and excessive venom he's subjected to and defending his on-pitch prowess (Of which the latter I rarely do(*).....

(*I know most of the gob-shites that dig me out here don't bother reading things properly, but once again; I don't figure you being of that ilk.)

Yeh, he's weak... One of the reasons I've said repeatedly he shouldn't be played as a DM for the last 3 years!!!



He doesn't however, roll around on the floor like a pussy from the slightest knock as per the comment I responded to.....
