It's impossible to know exactly where the blame lies. I'd probably trust the situation a bit more if it was someone other than Jose making judgement, but we're not the ones who see what he's like in training every day.

It's just annoying because we see players with far less ability given more chances on the pitch, whether that be here or at other clubs. He's our record signing and we barely even see him come on for 5 minutes.

As a fan it's incredibly frustrating to witness, especially when we're playing as badly as we are.

He will no doubt go straight into the starting 11 of quality players binned by Mourinho. Will do well in midfield with De Bruyne and Salah playing in front.

How can you possibly be in no doubt that the above would work out? You couldn't know that. I'm more inclined to trust that the manager is picking those that deserve to be picked.
The same guy who couldn't figure out how to work with Salah, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Martial & Pogba? Why the fuck would we trust that guy regarding things like that?

It doesn't take rocket science to realize that Ndombele isn't responding well to the sort of treatment Jose is giving him. Ndombele needs to work harder no doubt about that. But we pay Mourinho 15mil to figure this shit out. Its unacceptable.

He replaced him with Diego Costa for similar amount and he was scoring every 104 min while Lukaku every 287 min in the league
Also, he bought him in United and played 4k minutes in first season.
Then maybe... just maybe he should show a little more patience with some of these players and give them more opportunities. Holy hell.

Keep using the same names to make a same point which has been debunked in some cases. You're just on the wind up now.

Yeah. Does NDombele need to work harder? Yes, probably.

But arguably the main job of a manager is to get the most out of his players. Jose isn't doing that, therefore he's failing. I don't understand the people absolving either Ndombele or Jose of any responsibility - it's probably the failure of both of them combined.

So much bed wetting going on when Golden Boy Poch couldnt get a tune out of him either but blame Jose.

Makes me laugh.

Jose wasnt sure on GLC when he first joined, Was in the bench a fair bit, he then earned Jose’s trust and been fanstastic, I’m 100% if Tanguy was producing anything in training he’d be playing
Doesn't GLC's story also mean Ndombele could be off? All the ITK had down that Jose loved Tanguy at first, but maybe rightly or wrongly he's had enough.

All this bollox about KDB & Salah - he sold them when they were 2/3 seasons off the finished article. Brought in the players he wanted and won the league & cup

Terrible management ffs

With all his natural ability, must be humiliating to see a man in Sissoko who can't kick a ball properly start in front of you

I think you will find Sissoko has been Infront of him in the French team as well at times, so it's not just Jose.

More humiliating to see Sissoko at least busting his arse off despite his limited ability, yet he is a lazy sod who clearly isn't despite having the ability

I can understand more with France, Sissoko is the water carrier, they have so many creative players, whilst we are crying out for some creativity, which is not Sissokos game

Which point has been debunked? How many other names would make the point?
He and others have said the same thing and people have put together well thought out responses to at least three of those names this week.

Football starts now, I'm off to watch it, enjoy the game.

It really does smell like another jose playing silly buggers situation but obviously we don't really know. It's just a depressing situation all round. We have so much money invested in tanguy.

He was managing Chelsea who could throw money around. How much did he sell them for? How much did he buy replacements for? You think he could do that here?
