It’s not a binary choice mate and this is the Ndombele thread, I’ve commented on Dele elsewhere
I know we had a 35 min rest in-between the first and second half basically but him completing 90 mins was very promising also is that his first time doing so?
Him and Skipp where joint MOTM for me both ran the show tonight

He played well today, but it's a very different position.
The argument with Tanguy is that he's our best player on the ball and can beat the press, so having him deeper plays to his strengths. The problem is, it hasn't really worked out that way and he's seen less of the ball than we hoped and struggled defensively. Games have passed him by.
Having him further up is interesting and it can certainly work. He'll have to work on holding onto the ball more.
It would also benefit GLC who, conversely, we've probably been playing too far forward.
So in the endless cycle of good Tanguy bad Tanguy todays a good Tanguy day. Belting finish.
The only version of this team that’s any good is the one that has Tanguy connecting the dots like that.
In still think he should play further back to help connect the dots, as you say, but at this point he just needs to be on the pitch. 8, 10, wing, whatever. He's our best player on the ball.
Needs to do the other side of the game though. Nobody is expecting him to constantly get up and down the pitch. But if he gives just an extra 10% effort, and not get knackered so early regularly, then he will be a considerably better player for it and we'll be better off as a side for it too. I don't want him to just be a talented but lazy cunt like Pogba.
Decent game, another goal/game against a bottom 3 side where he sort of turned up. MoTM talk is ridiculous.
One of his best games today. It's got to be said though, that might be the easiest opposition he will face in the league all season.
If we see another good performance from him against West Ham (this goes for the rest of the team really) then we might have a bit of hope!

Norwich are even worse less goal threat than Newcastle
