You can already feel people are itching to jump the gun on this guy.
Fuck me, he's played a couple of competitive games for us, and has a goal and assist.
He then got injured and came out of the team, back in tonight after a cameo at the weekend... A team that saw several changes and with a CB at RB and we looked disjointed...
Bit of perspective before we start sharpening the knives ?
I think he'll be massive signing for us.
That with Lamela, Son and Kane ahead.... Now we are talking. But as you say. Probably won't happen.I long for the DM base and Ndombele and Lo Celso in front. Probably will never see it, though.
Exactly.Jesus fucking Christ the impatience on display in this thread is utterly staggering. How many top players come to England and have to adapt to the physical demands? It happens at top clubs every season.
Ndombele is an immense talent and if Son’s goal hadn’t been chalked off we’d all be praising his vertical passing which set up the goal. Instead we’re all lashing out looking for scapegoats. New signings usually need a bit of time FFS I can’t believe it even needs to be said.

Modders didn't fit in straight away. That's not true.
I'm pretty sure Sissoko made a tackle.Yeah, it’s obvious we are calling out for a more defensively astute player in the middle of the park. Dier is the obvious choice, but that’s more down to if he can show some marginal mobility. Looking at how Rodri plays for Man City should be the template. In my opinion, Dier could thrive in that type of role; sit deeper, protect spaces vacated by advancing defenders and play simple passes and when possible, exploit lanes in defenses. Dier is not the player Rodri is, but he could play in that role.
Saw a stat saying we had 0 tackles and 1 interception between our midfield players today. That is unacceptable and a huge reason why we are struggling. We are constantly being overrun in midfield.
I disagree.Modders didn't fit in straight away. That's not true.
People just see Nkoudou and Njie and think all Ligue 1 players are average, despite the fact it’s one of the more successful leagues when it comes to producing good PL players.So Kante, Fabinho, Martial, etc. were all poor purchases in your opinion? Did Ricardo Perreira look shit to you today? Is Lacazette shit for the scum? Talk about a gross overgeneralization.
Ndombele’s made all of a half-dozen appearances for us, two off the bench. In those scant appearances he’s made quite an impact (Villa, the throughball to Son today which under a sane offside review paradigm would have wrapped up the match). Yes there’s still more to come from him but I can’t believe the criticism I’m seeing.

Like Lloris and Lucas have been great for us ffs.
What did he get for Home Economics?If you look at the stats of Tanguy Ndombele you can clearly see we have a top quality player. I think he just needs to work on his overall fitness and strength, also he will obviously need time to acclimate to English football. Given time he will become an invaluable member of our squad.

Kante was an instant hit when he arrived at Leicester. We buy the ones who don't hit the ground running.Not forgetting Kante.
