I haven't read through the whole thread, so apologies if this point is being recycled or brought up for umpteenth time.
I really want it to work out for us and Ndombele. He has talent on the ball and the potential to be a proper unit in the middle if he wanted to be. I was hoping he'd be really eager to stake his claim for a starting spot when he came off the bench and would get stuck in, but to me he seemed utterly disinterested. Made a couple of challenges here and there and made a couple of passes, but never followed these up by making runs for his teammates, rather reverting to type as we've seen so far of jogging around somewhat aimlessly.
Just one among many disappointing aspects of that performance, mind you.
