Tanguy Ndombele

I get he’s not match fit, but he should be busting a gut in the minutes he gets to get match fit.

People had a go about CE attitude, that is someone actually walking around doing fudge All.

A lot of that was down to him wanting a change, what a cheek after giving us all he had for several seasons he had the cheek to want a chance to win something in another country. ;)
 
I just don’t get it with him
He is a professional footballer on a LOT of money with the talent
He is new to the league but that hasn’t really affected him
It’s his lack of drive and effort that’s hurt him
And of course his inability to take a knock
Poch would have gone 1:1 with him to fix it but that’s not Jose’s style I think

Didn't Poch say something like it will take him two years to be ready for the PL?
 
Don’t remember
But could be about right

"We cannot assess him [Ndombele] enough to say he is doing well or not so well," Pochettino said. "For me it’s fantastic the things he adds to the team, I am so happy with him like I am so happy with different players.

"Still for me, when you sign a player, despite the amount you pay, with the profile of Tanguy Ndombele or Giovani Lo Celso or Ryan Sessegnon you need minimum one year and a half, or two years. Look at what happened with Son or Sissoko, they started to perform in year two, year three. That is why when you are so young… today the market is the market, you cannot judge the player because you paid some kind of amount. He played two years in Lyon and moved to England where everything is new, but the quality is there. They need time to show their real quality."

Sensible words, but at this level a lack of effort really shouldn't be an issue. You don't need time to adapt to a new league before you start tracking back properly.

TBF that was also true when he first signed and was perceived as bottling challenges and not pulling his weight defensively.
Just a little bit of history repeating!

This guy either has some serious health issues (like Lukaku with his undiagnosed digestive condition) or he's a fat, lazy sack of sh*t.

I can forgive a lot, and he's new to the league so I didn't expect anything from him anyway - I still think giving new signings a year without expectations is the best way forward.

But I'll be damned if I'm going to forgive a lack of effort. You are paid metric brick-tons of money to train two hours a day, five times a week, and play two hours on a weekend. Laziness shouldn't enter into the picture - bust your fudging gut, and be happy you're paid to do it while the vast majority of people struggle by on two days' worth of your wages in a year.

I sincerely hope, for his sake, it's something medical. Otherwise, it doesn't bode well for him.

And as for Christian, he ran more in one game than Ndombele has this fudging season.

The quality is there but, alas, the desire is not. Where is our Roy Keane to kick him up in the air in training all week reminding him every time that that sort of effort isn’t acceptable at this club?
 
I was thinking last night how much it must impact on the rest of the team seeing Ndombele act like he’s only half interested. If he is really one of our top earners, the other players can’t be impressed and may question their own motivation if they are paid less then someone who barely turns up.
 
Not sure if Ndombele will do well in the PL. He is not only too injury-prone but he doesn't seems to have the right mentality to succeed in the PL.
 
That's shocking! He's barely pretending to press. Incredibly frustrating to watch - he's got all the talent in the world, but this...unforgivably poor for a professional athlete with a multi million pound salary.

I have no doubt he has the ability to succeed for us, but this is a worrying sign.


He at least exerted more energy into that ‘run’ then Adebayor did during his entire time with us (excluding salutes)
 
Can but hope I live to see the day that Ndombele sprints the length of the pitch!

Although I’ll be content if he can elicit this sort of response from the Goons at NLD!

Or at least go Lamela style on those pussies!

Look at Son's first season with us aged 22 https://www.transfermarkt.com/heung-min-son/leistungsdaten/spieler/91845/plus/0?saison=2015
He finished 90 minutes twice all season. 4 league goals, 1 assist.

Ndombele was 22 when he joined and already has more 90 minutes than Son managed.
He needs time and some understanding.

The last thing he needs to be hounded by a man who has no interest in player health or player welfare.

How about you do your own thinking and not fall into lazy stereotyping of the manager?
 
Have to say the same spurs fans that moaned all first half online are the ones now moaning that Jose has dug out a player who didn’t pull his significant weight
 
'My thinking in the first half was that we didn’t have a midfield,' the Spurs boss said. 'Of course i’m not talking about Skipp as he’s 19-year-old.

'I’m not critical of Skipp at all. Tanguy has had enough time to be at a different level. A player with this potential and responsibility has to give us more than he is giving us.

'I hope he uses every minute on the pitch to improve. There are many fantastic players that in first seasons in new countries they struggle.

'He is a player of great talent but he has to know that he must do much better. He has to know that I can’t keep giving him opportunities to play, because the team is more important that the players.'
