Wow. Pretty handy debut by the looks. I think I saw more through balls in that short video than I did his entire Spurs career. Did we play him too deep ? Oh well he's no longer a Spurs player. Good luck Nabil.

But who does he trust?He looked good there. Just another talent shown the door for reasons none of us will ever really know.
In Poch we trust, and all that.
He seems to change his mind on players really quickly. Dembele didnt seemed fancied before he was then Mason has been totally dropped after being one of Poch's main guys.
We seem to have a bench full of youth players who then are being either played out of position(Onomah) or not trusted at all(winks)
I remember a thread from last season asking do we get around the high pressing fatigue by having a young squad or will we have to have a high turnover of players to sustain it. After all Pep Guardiola thinks it cant be done for longer than 3 seasons at a club.
My fear is that the manager will aim for a high turnover of players with levy failing to deliver it. As some of our players seem to still be on preseason

Absolutely. I don't think Poch is the faultless messiah many do but I darent point out any possible flaws for fear of instant and violent response from the converted.

I remember a game where he started at left back because of injuries.... absolutely owned the position
Wish he could have stayed. .. suspect Bentaleb will become a CL level professional..

Oh, that's OK, don't feel bad for your ignorance. If you a either fresh wife, a younger sister or maybe a daughter, you probably have at least one female family member who can enlighten you.

Clearly an attitude problem and not better than dier or Dembele. If he isn't content with that scenario not worried about losing him. He reminds me of taraabt. Loads of ability but not all there mentally.

That's a very harsh comparison. Taraabt's an extremely lazy player, Bentaleb put in a lot of effort when he played for us.

There's an automatic purchase option I think.

Schalke have lost all their games, and that was their first/only goal of the season (4 games). Not sure Bentaleb is proving his worth just yet. Nice pass though.

Not to worry, we've got the best CM in Europe at dribbling round the same man 5 times.
