Yeah, let's all thank the Maker that we didn't sell someone who gave a 7 out of 10 performance this evening against Rennes.
Ndombele did more in the first 10 minutes than Dele has done all season
Some people just don't like the guy - facts. He has to be starting. We're crap . Start your best players. Maybe if we were a better team we could be picky and saying his attitude isn't good enough but honestly we're not that team right now.

Very childish but I enjoyed the fact that, just for a while, the new posts list had:
Ndombele
What are you eating now?
Nuno

They do if everyone is shit.
The guy could go missing 88 minutes but he does enough for 2 minutes to literally make up for anything he didn't do for the other 88 minutes. He offers something no other Spurs player has.
Man tits?
You talking about Kane's man tits and receding hairline?
You adore him really.
So he played the 2nd most important pass twice for 2 of the luckiest goals we'll score all season.
His brother and the yes men will be loving it on instagram, filling his head with more shit.

He did, he was one of our better players. But it’s clear that he is never going to deliver on the money we paid and be a worthy successor to Dembele. You can’t build a team around someone as flaky and uninterested as him. I never see him demand the ball.
But despite all that the team needs him. He is the only midfielder we have who has serious talent on the ball.
That's his problem. For all of his ability, and he has plenty of it, he's all too content to just be on the periphery of games. Which all comes to do his attitude problem.
That's fair criticism. Hopefully he grows into his role as that bona fide playmaker that we need.
Not sure he'll ever be bona fide, but with a better mentality he can certainly be our playmaker.
Yep, was just about to post that. He was far too easily bypassed on the first goal, being a playmaker is all well and good but you have to offer more to the team when we defend. If you’re standing on the edge of our penalty box you can’t let people just breeze past you.
That’s the biggest difference between him and Dembele. He was a brick wall, I only ever saw Yaya Toure and Pogba cause him any serious trouble. Tanguy by contrast is a dream to play against, like playing against a training cone most of the time.
I think we have to accept what we have.
He's never going to reliably track runners. I'm not even sure I see him in the middle of the park anymore.
Let's just rotate him with Lo Celso and stick him near Kane. He has undeniable ability and can find space. He's comfortable with it being played into his feet and then turning and releasing a pass. Tell him his new job is to get assists.
And then sell him in the Summer.
He let the No.3 completely go and didn't track him and he ended up heading a good chance over the bar before the 1st goal.
Off the ball he is pathetic.
