Tanguy Ndombele

[prinmemo]

I feel like I’m still seeing excellence from him: heads-up progressive passing, confidence on the ball, good coverage going back. Whatever deficiencies there are, IMO, have to do with our lack of structure—players not using space well, getting clogged up and narrow (and so limiting ball movement options), runs that aren’t timed well or chosen.

That doesn’t feel to me like it’s on him. It speaks to what‘s happening in training (and, more precisely, what isn’t).

Exactly what I am seeing. He is taking the ball from defenders, protecting it and maintaining possession, and then getting it further up the pitch to our attackers. He wasn’t our #10.

I am also seeing our guys getting the ball in the final third in very tight spaces. In those cases, even with 20 shots, you will at best score one or two goals. Lots of effort and little results.

This is where a player like Bale can make a difference. He comes out to receive the ball in space, which allows him the time and freedom to make good decisions. It also allows his teammates to have space for runs. He also still has class quality.

Dier showing why he's better than VVD. Love to see it

Dier is shit, you still celebrated West Ham beating Tottenham though

You'd never get in the WhatsApp group with posts like that bro.

I booed when they took the knee before kick off.
How about now bro?

We’ve already played 40 matches this season, with this condensed schedule it’s not easy. Kane and Son are also running out of energy.

They have both played double the minutes Ndombele has.

Nah, soon you’ll be cheering on Woolwich and Chelsea

Never, ever do I want a Spurs loss.

Ndombele is so hit and miss it's baffling why people get so upset about the slightest of criticism of him. I think he has to do much better with the ability he has personally

It’s not about being upset, the guy has amazing talent but he is not a DM and he is a ball playing CM of exceptional quality playing in a team that plays the very opposite type of football. Square pegs round holes.

Wasn't referring to you, I think ndombele has ability but I don't think he'll ever be a top player myself.

he could play in the City team and look great, he could play in a defensive team and look average. He is a specialist player with very special skills but also weaknesses. He is suited to playing for City, Bayern, Real Madrid with his control and passing and less suited to playing for us, West Ham or Brighton.

See I don't think he's anywhere near good enough for those teams.

He would fit in at RM and BM, but not City. He is not a one touch master, so not a fit for Pep.

You wanted our legendary striker to get shown up against West Ham.
He obliged.

Congrats

It’s almost like if you put someone in the best teams on the planet, they will look better than in this Spurs team.

We both won then yay

No I lost today.
I prayed for Kane to be better.
He wasn’t. I wasn’t surprised but I was still gutted.

West Ham won. And you

Lets just see what super clubs come in for him in the summer.
I think you and him are in for a very long wait he is a £60 million fraud

He is extremely skilful and can do things no one else can in our midfield. But hes been average for quite a few games now. Hes no dembele thats for sure.
