Traore: 158 apps / 23 goal contributions
NDombele: 63 apps / 11 goal contributions
Wouldn’t say we are an all out attacking team under conte. Certainly not in the style of pool, city, Brighton, Leeds amongst a few I can list. We basically play counter attack against any one half decent or who like to pass the ball around and keep possecion.
I agree that NDombele has got serious talent on the ball. But he hardly makes the team. He’s gone this January.
Guy’s a fucking joke. Constantly slates Ndombele for wanting to leave but is perfectly fine with Traore wanting to leave.
Yeah I'm not disagreeing
I'm just laughing at the
The Mercurial No.10
guy who says Traore is a game changing talent when on a per app basis, Ndombele has more goal contributions
One changes games, the other is too lazy to really be arsed getting changed out of his 5 layers to do the shittest warming up in professional football.
Hurt? They had to isolate for 10 days abroad after fucking off to play for Argentina in September, against the PL and Spurs orders.
Imagine putting in 30% effort and still producing more than Traore on a per app basis
Yeah I'm not disagreeing
I'm just laughing at the
But he’s not necessarily wrong, has really improved over the years. I get why people don’t rate him but he does cause all types of havoc when he plays.
Social media team can't catch him for an interview, he's oiled himself up and is running all around Hotspur Way.
Yeah I'm not slating Traore. I actually think he makes an impact
But it's just funny that Ndombele has produced more than Traore and
The Mercurial No.10
is arguing that Traore is a world beater while Ndombele should be working at KFC.
Yeah I'm not disagreeing
I'm just laughing at the
Goals & assists are not the only way to change football matches. We're 1-0 down in the 60th minute, do you bring on Ndombele or a prime Moussa Dembele? Because the latter got maybe 1 goal 1 assist a season, but his physical attributes and dribbling helped push us upfield and made space for teammates like Eriksen to get assists and goals.
Traore when brought on today scared the United defence shitless. I can't remember the last time Ndombele came on and really impacted a game from the bench.
But Ndombele led our team in pre assists so he should be viewed as world class
Ndombele is creative, the issue for him is he's a midfielder in an era when teams mostly play with a midfield 3 who all work their fucking arses off and there's no room for luxury players, everyone has to be able to chip in across the board. Even guys like De Bruyne.
Conte is even more extreme in this regard, so it just doesn't work with us at all. Isn't to say he's a shit footballer but this league and this coach are the worst possible match for him.
What, he changes games by never scoring and rarely creating? 7 goals in 120 Wolves appearances for a wide player. Even Bergwijn is pissing himself.
