Hey may well of done, but talking about a player in his situation in public is still not good man management imo. And if he was showing no effort in training he shouldn't be picked to play. If this was his second full season then okay. Although I have an issue with it anyway. But all things considered I really don't think calling out new players in the press is a good thing.How do you know he has t already talked to him in private?
As I’ve said, new country, new language, new surroundings etc - none of that is an excuse for lack of effort
But it can work. Mourinho himself has publicly called out three players before and their performances have improved - Joe Cole, Hazard and Luke Shaw.Hey may well of done, but talking about a player in his situation in public is still not good man management imo.

I thought we had 5 centre backs?
Not going to recoup anything like the fee paid. No way DL would take a huge early loss on a player. He even tries to make a profit on players who are finished or totally unwanted. Could try for some sort of loan but then we would only be saving his wages( probably a proportion) so no funds to replace except for another loan.Just gives the impression that he doesn't fancy it, very frustrating as hes shown glimpses of what he can do. Hopefully this kick starts him but if we see bugger all improvement then I think he'll be moving on in the not too distant...
Yep won’t waste his time with the likes of De Bruyne, Pogba, Shaw , Mata etc., knows a bad player when he sees oneJM wont waste his time on someone he doesn't think can improve the team.
Tanguy is in that bracket where he could but hasn't made a difference. It's not a bad thing.
This is partly why JM has a bad record with youth; he wouldn't even bet you an eyelid most of the time.
Tanguy's got a chance now, i hope he takes it.
0 sprints in 45 minutes is shameful.
Whatever reasons people want to give, not breaking out of a light jog for 45 minutes of a premier League football match should embarrass him as a person.
The hilarious thing is he made less sprints than his goalkeeper.
In that case my missus could coach Brazil, her samba isn't bad but how would thdey rate cottage pieDidn’t need to sprint. Didn’t move outside of a pretty small area.
It was pretty interesting watching it back as I thought it would just be lack of effort when defending. But it’s not. He didn’t try to be part of the attack either. Even in the first minute he played a nice pass that set the move going and then didn’t join the attack. He actually could have got on the end of the move but didn’t. It was the same all afternoon.
His positional awareness and understanding of the game seems more worrying to me than the fitness. He can train and get fitter but is he ever going to learn movements and spacing and cadence of the game? Think that’s much harder to do.
I remember my old man telling me when I was younger that very few super talented players make good coaches. He reckoned it’s because the players who weren’t as gifted had to learn every other detail of the game just to make it as a player and they were then better prepared as a coach. I think Tanguy might just be in that boat but moving from lower standard of football. He could get by on pure talent and brilliance but didn’t learn so many fundamentals of the game. It now stands out like a sore thumb.
Not sure Mourinho should have called him out, definitely felt like some deflection from Jose for his poor first half setup. But we also don’t know what Jose asked of Ndombele. If he’d asked him to make sure he was the link from defence and he didn’t do it then it’s hard to question the criticism. He might have been better pulling him off after 30 minutes, claim a niggle and sea with it in house though.

Sissoko got pelters from the fans before he turned it around. His issue was confidence, not application.I'd love for us all to get behind him- he's immensely talented and even of he wasn't he's our player and we should support him through it imo. If it doesn't work out it doesn't work out. Look at how Sissoko turned it around.
