Oohhh...good point...Is he better without Hojberg? HmMmMmm
Sorry, dumb question, how did he challenge him? Lots of communication? Yelling? Effing and blinding?What I liked was he repeatedly challenged Ndombele to do his job.
Ndombele bottled it. Repeatedly. But Skipp tried.
Captain material said JM.
Simply passing the ball to him in situations where it was Ndombele's job to progress the ball.Sorry, dumb question, how did he challenge him? Lots of communication? Yelling? Effing and blinding?
Any help?Big fan
Like guy but if you play him and H then the other midfielder has got to be a superb passer and creator.
BUT HE ISN'T SO IT ISN'T WORKINGLike Ndombele is supposed to be ?
Like Ndombele is supposed to be ?
I'm not sure he is. Wasn't he more of a belated Dembele replacement? His assist stats at Lyon never suggested he was an elite provider. He's a great ball carrier and very press resistant and will chip in with some assists, but an Eriksen he ain't, and was never meant to be.
Ideally you'd want someone like Hojbjerg or Skipp, a player like Ndombele and then an Eriksen type, or at least another midfielder who can chip in with goals/assists to some degree.
