Didn’t expect him to start tonight. Don’t expect him to start on Saturday. Might get on as a sub but don’t count on that either.

To be fair to Tanguy, I'm really unfit and I just can't be arsed to get back in shape so I know what it's like.

If he can get fit, I don’t think there would be a better trio of CMs than him, GLC and (the good again) Winks

his talent is ridiculous

I'm sure Jose is fucked off about his fitness and I understand because I think most of us are.

But considering we have no one to hold up the ball at the moment or lead the line, we desperately need someone in the midfield who can get on the ball and take some pressure off and only Ndombele and Lo Celso can really do that. Has to be a three man midfield of Winks-Lo Celso-Ndombele going forward.

Clearly he has the talent but his fitness is still an issue, it's becoming a real problem now.

The player our whole team should be playing through, barely able to give us half an hour isn't good enough. It's limiting a team that already has many injury based limitations. Lo Celso needs to be released further forward.

Showed tonight exactly why he needs to get fit.
Exactly. If he can give us 80-90 minutes of this every week then I'm sure even the most pissed-off-with-him of us will instantly turn around and give him the well-deserved plaudits. We all know he's a fucking brilliant footballer... but we need him to play some football: every week, from the start.

Didn’t see a lack of energy or fitness from him tonight. Did see our entire performance improve with him on the pitch.

Indeed looked perfectly mobile and fit to me. He just has a very lazy looking way about him

He should be first on the team sheet with lo celso. Don't buy this super unfit talk

There is no doubting how technically gifted he is. He can pick a pass most can't see, he has composure and balance in tight spots, he can beat players. He comes alive with the ball at his feet. We need him from the start.
