Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[yankspurs]

The ultimate embarrassment for Bruno was getting hauled off at half time having already shown his one trick in the first 30 seconds. Take away the pens and what has he really done?

Nah dont do this. He’s very creative. He transformed United last year when they got him. Yeah he is their pen taker and dives...alot. But he is a very good player.

I'd also like to add that even though both of his goals so far this season have been scrappy, I love the fact that he finds himself in these positions and doesn't just loiter on the edge of the area. He played a vital part in Kane's first goal and Auriers goal yesterday by getting in to the box. Neither might not have been scored without his presence.

 

[GLC10]

He is the best player of the season.

There was a 10-15 minute period in the game where every time Bruno pressed Tanguy, he got embarrassed. Was a joy to watch.

Bruno is not fit to lace Tanguy’s boots.

Anyone else a little upset we don't have our customary post-match Tanguy video?

Not so much this season though. There's a reason he was hauled off and not Pogba.

I've said before, his trajectory won't be linear and he was clearly not at his best sunday and I think the amount of games caught up with him, however you can't fault the effort level. Was fantastic defensively.

 

[Ginol-ooh!]

I like how Dele looks genuinely happy for him at the end there

 

[Norgie]

I was one of the people dissing him for the video of him hiding for the ball last season. I still stand by that, when you are paid that much there is no excuse to hide even if things aren't going for you. However fair play to him, he has got his head down and now wow some of those touches and passes were incredible. I love the way he plays football and I would hate to have to mark him. He made some of those turns away from top top players look like he was playing against my u8 team

 

[TheTanguy]

He's only 23, imagine how good he will be in 3 years time if he keeps on working hard and improving; we ain't seen nothing yet.

I was disgusted by that and still am. I was at the match and didn't realise until I saw the video. I wanted him gone after that and a useless first year.

That laziness seems to be decreasing though. I still see some laziness in his play (it may be bias or a hangover from that disgust) and I don't think he puts himself about as much as a £55m player should. But I am aware I am being harsh on him because he is our record signing, we all had such huge expectations of him and he hasn't been the monster in the middle of the pitch yet that we thought we were getting. I think that's fair though.

Ndom looks good now, a bit more effort and we have a serious player - he's close now, in my opinion.

I had found him guilty of crimes against football and wanted him hung, drawn and quartered. Although I've rocked back a bit, the jury is still out for me though.

I realise most other people have let him off scot free already, but for me there's still a little way to go.

 

[DJS]

He is the best player of the season.

He‘s been better than Kane or Son?

Have a word with yourself lol.

 

[Pochie]

Tanguy is coming on. He is transforming before my eyes and becoming the player I hoped he would.
Keep going fella. We're behind you all the way! ? ?

 

[Hercules]

He will NEVER be let’s say a Gordon Strachan-type player, for those of you who remember him. Bag loads of technical ability, great take ons. But also covers every single blade of grass.

Tanguy is at his best in final third, and 2 metres in our half. He has not got the biggest energy (part of his genetics). My belief is Josè sees and knows this, and playing him where he can really hurt teams. This will then occupy two of their players dropping back. Eden Hazard was at his best in slightly different roles, as he was more offensive. Don’t expect him to be doing a Sonny or Lucas for example, covering every blade of grass to chase back. He will donut in couple spurts. As long as he offers for transition, that is how we will get the best out of him. How many goals this season now, or assists, or assist to the assist?

 

[carpediem1906]

Love love love tanguy. All along.
From the very beginning- his debut here in Singapore against Juventus with that outside foot assist to Kane.

Very happy that we didn’t sell him and fans are seeing his potential come to the fore this season. But like many (Including Jose) has said, there is so much more to come, and when that happens ?

We are starting to see how with right players and squad, how we can be so so potent in attack.

Cant wait for 17 Oct Wham - serge on current form

[Bablu37]

Watch that again and then watch how many times he baits Bruno, and then uses strength, skill or a turn of pace to get away and create space. The 3rd time it happens Bruno's body language looks fed up.

It's brilliant

 

[absolute bobbins]

I know it's a lazy comparrison but I do get some faint Dembele vibes from Tanguy and no... it's not because of the similar surnames

 

[GLC10]

In 3 years he will be as good as Pogba in his prime. And he'll use the number 10 when Harry's gone.
