showed so much ability again. very frustrating situation.
With lamela ahead of them as one of the 3 attackersWinks, Ndombele and Lo Celso is our best midfield.
The reports said it was his conditioning that was poor. Mourinhos comments suggest he is still learning what is required as a pro. That will be diet and physique.
Yep, I cant understand the comments from people suggesting Mourinho doesn't rate him when he clearly does. His conditioning just needs to improve before he can start games. Especially tonight against a team like Leipzig who's midfield work so hard. Jose said this two weeks ago:
The Spurs boss explained that Ndombele is now doing plenty of work behind the scenes and is doing more off the field than when he first arrived.
The player arrived in top flight football only three years ago in France and his body is still catching up with his big step up from the lower league game.
"That's what he is doing – we are taking care of him at every level," said Mourinho. "We are doing a global programme with him to try to take care of him.
"When we speak about global programme, we are talking about his work with the group, his individual work, his sports science, his nutrition, everything. It's like a full package to try to give him the best condition."
We'll have one hell of a midfield if he gets up to speed
He isnt knackered he just looks that way. Give him the ball he is full of lifeLooked good when he came on
Looked bloody knackered as he was warming up in front of us though.
Can't believe the naysayers are on him for last night. He played well and clearly understood we had a take a risk or two to try to square it up.
I can see the team sheet for Saturday already. Winks and Dier. I'll fkin scream.
He’s not going to start a game though is he, because he’s spent after 20 minutes!
That’s what is so bloody annoying. Watching him last night pissed me off even more. We should be getting 90 minutes of that from him.
how does he build it up then based on 15 here and 20 there
