His teeth were fuck all to do with his EFFORT in tracking back in that Wolves video for example. Or hiding in games.

Effort and fitness are totally different. He could give his all off the ball and be fucked after 15 minutes. Issue is this guy is fucked just ambling around after 15 minutes.

Fitness you can sort. Attitude and desire you can't quite so easily.

Only us could blame his teeth!!

I have to say yes to the statement but disagree with the sentiment. Effort and fitness are so intrinsically linked that it can't be said how important they are.

If you are completely shot from a hard sprint or two then you'll be putting in 100% effort but it will look like you can't be arsed.

Anyone who's done a High intensity workout like tabata or CrossFit will know no matter the effort if you're gassed then you won't be able to move

We have pretty good evidence that there's a correlation between oral health and the risk of an injury reoccuring. But we don't know if poor oral health is causing it (i.e. the pain, or increased vulnerability to pathogens overworking the immune system, results in re-injury). Or if there's a different factor causing both (e.g. players who don't brush their teeth twice a day have worse oral health, and also tend to be less dilligent in other areas, which is what heightens their injury risk). It seems like the former probably plays at least some role so it's worth a try, but it isn't conclusive.

Associations between poor oral health and reinjuries in male elite soccer players: a cross-sectional self-report study

Although it is well known that oral pathogens can enter the systemic circulation and cause disease, it is largely unknown if poor oral health increases the risk of sports injuries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between poor ...

Does your theory explain his tracking back Vs Wolves when he'd literally just come on?

I train HIIT every day. Ndombele's main issue is his lack of desire off the ball.

To be exhausted after 20 odd minutes of football when you're an elite athlete is embarrassing. Nothing to do with doing a couple of sprints - for which the Burnley game showed, Ndombele actually did zero sprints.

KikoSpurs said:

A big fucking NO for me. If Barcelona really want him that means we shouldn't sell him at all.

Imagine selling for two deadwood like Semedo and Umtite, the latter being injury prone.
