Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Flashspur]

I guess this is why we found it so easy to get him. Everyone else knew.

Why on earth did we not get Tielemans??? Cheaper, fitter, more consistent and available 6 months earlier.

The club were listening to the fan boys on SC creaming themselves over him ?

 

[Flashspur]

is this a joke?

No

I just watched the tyre driving thing on twitter. He actually walks like someone that had Polio as a child. I actually find it really annoying like when he gets subbed off it just looks awful. I honestly wonder if that is a physiological thing or attitude thing. You know like as a kid when you’re being a bit of slob and your parents scream “ walk properly “ lol. I know ultimately if he does it on the pitch it doesn’t matter, I just find it annoying.

it's a gait. He actually has a very similar gait to Zion Williamson. Look him up. He's fine. Shutup.

Basically he's an 8 - the same position as Fernandes, who has taken about 5 seconds to adapt to the league and become the heart beat of the side.

We bought the wrong one really. Ndombele has loads of potential, but at the moment it feels a long way away and uncertain

 

[Paul Gascoigne]

If we're going to play him I think pushing up the field could mitigate some of his flaws. Lo Celso as the anchorman because he needs to be on the ball as much as possible and isn't afraid to work or get tackles in. Winks possibly alongside him. Ndombele, Bergwijn and Gedson/Lamela ahead of those two with Lucas (God help us) up front.

I do not think moving good players out of position to accommodate him can be a good move. He was bought to shore up the CM. Lo Celso is full of ideas going forward. Why would we move him back to hide Ndombele's shortcomings?

I'd rather have someone with lots.of ability but poor fitness than great fitness but no ability.

Not sure Klopp would agree. The foundation of that team is a pretty average but incredibly fit midfield.

We bought a better player and they aren’t that much similar

You can't quote the cheating Mancs as a template surely ?

We sold them one so thought it was appropriate.

 

[Monkey boy]

Give the man time. I have seen enough to know that he is on a different level to most players

certainly on a different fitness level

 

[Ronwol196061]

Can NDombele's brilliance outway his deficiencies?

He would have to be even better attacking wise to counter his deficiencies,but on the defensive side he still has to make a lot more effort to come back and tackle. Its not good enough by far. He is super talented but its not enough

 

[double0]

Mourinho has to play him game after game. It's simple. Once his played 5 games back to back people will see the difference

Disagree. I think Ndombele is a lot better than Bruno. Even right now, with all the difficulties he's having with fitness and adaptation

I also think he has to play. Playing games will improve his fitness.
We can't still be waiting for him to be 100%. We need him right now. At least as a sub

nah. Because if they’re so unfit they can’t show their ability then what’s the point?

not if he’s a liability. Right now he leaves gaping holes for the opposition to run through us because he’s too unfit to track back.

we can’t afford any passengers if we want to fight for top 4/5

Tedious knowing that this thread is going to be filled with virgins going "fair play to the lad, was totally wrong to write him off - happy to hold my hands up, glad he proved me wrong ya know" in time. Maybe just stfu for once and don't spout every frustration you have online and then you wouldn't have to faux-graciously concede you were wrong in the future.

Just get behind the **** and shut up.

Worst post of the year. And that's including all those that @scat1620 has made.

Nobody is writing the **** off. Just fucked off with his ****ing nonsense fitness.

Follow your own tedious advice.

Bollocks aren't they.

Just because (and sorry to mention this, I know you told me in confidence) you can barely read, doesn't mean there aren't numerous posts from dithering old farts like yourself acting like we've been conned and questioning whether we should flog him asap.

If I cant read then I'd do well to write so many posts on the subject of us being conned.

Owen Jones called, he wants his virtue-signalling back.
