Ex-Spurs Player Tanguy Ndombele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
That was his third start for us mate, chill a bit and let the kid have enough time to adjust to a new way, a new team etc
Sounds good. Lets start a Ndombele out thread.
He's just signed, he needs time. Looks to me he hasn't adjusted to the faster tempo in PL yet or isn't up to 100%. He had a poor game but so did most of the team. He's already scored a crucial goal for us and will only improve.
I know he had an awful game tonight, but then, so did nearly everybody else! Very few players just slot straight into a new team in a different country, can't believe some people don't appreciate that.
Correct.
Hard to play well when everybody else is poor.
Who is setting an example for him?
Fcuk sake.
Son was bad his first year. It takes time. No one has any patience.
He looked like a less mobile, obese version of Sissoko today.
It very worrying.

Time is what he needs. That being said, I only watched his highlights and what i see is a pretty chill dude out there on the pitch. He makes bursts, but really isn’t a busy body, which I think is what some thought we were getting.
You can tell he has class and I am sure it will shine. We do need a new shape though to get the best out of him. The CM2 is not it.

That's him. He was a fat kid who has had to work hard to get to the shape he is in now. His overall shape won't change from now on.
In context i didn't think he played that badly.
Any Lyon supporter would have told anyone as much had they bothered asking.
Ndombele works in sprints and he has admitted himself that he is not the best player in defense. He even admitted that it would take him a while to adapt to the Premier League pace.
Give him time.
He showed some flashes last night but was well off the pace in general. I think it’ll be a couple of months of performances like that before he clicks into gear
