Hopefully this game makes Mourinho realise what we're missing without Ndombele. If he's got no part to play then we need to replace what he offers technically.

For the most part I'd agree but none of the players in our academy cost 30m+. If the club have committed that much money into a player then it's surely fair that the expectations are higher than for an average youth player.

Price tag isn't his fault but it's understandable why people are frustrated at these anonymous performances.

We haven’t committed £30m into either Clarke or Gedson.

If Clarke was currently capable of world-beating performances as a 19 year old English player, his price tag would be many, many times what we paid for him.

Bit of a shitty cash grab if Kane was put on the bench despite knowing he wouldn’t even warm up let alone get on the pitch.
