I so hope you are correct. It's really frustrating because you can see the pure talent. Will he be Adel Taarabt MK 2?

Unfortunately for Ndombele is that Lo Celso came on for 15 minutes and we instantly looked a more settled side. I think Ndombele is probably the most naturally talented player at the club, but that talent will always require hard work, dedication & ultimately good footballing knowledge. It seems with Ndombele that he has quite a few moments where he just completely switches off.
You can get away with that in the French, Italian leagues etc because the pace of the game isn't so frantic. The Premier League is unique for this (just look at the Palace game yesterday), where every team can beat every other on any given day.

20 years ago you would build your team around him. Mecurial talent like Le Tissier etc was enabled by grafters. These days you don't get that, everyone has to be a gut busting athlete.
Romero was, not Tanguy. If Romero doesn't dive in we won't be caught 3 v 2 at the back
Might be wrong but thought the move started with Villa moving past Moura and Ndombele like they were statues. The goal was a poor effort across a number of players including Romero.

Not worried about his passing or scoring, just about work rate and defensive discipline. His work rate was good, now needs to work on defensive aspects a bit more. Once we find a settled starting 11 and formation he will gel with others and play better. Problem is, GLC has much better chemistry with Kane but he will miss games because of International qualifications so more chance for Tanguy to impress.

I supposedly hate him but the goal wasn't down to him - I agree with the above

you can only play him as a 10 because of his lack of mobility and a number 10 should be scoring 8 a season and getting near double digit assists , he does neither . It’s sad that he’s congratulated for merely putting in some effort . I’m sure we will look to offload him in the summer and he will bounce around the european leagues with every clubs fans thinking ‘what if ‘.

I didn't witness this. Maybe I am wrong but I thought he was standing around loads (at one point being the up front by himself). I am sure that you used to be able to get "Distance Run" stats per game.

I don't want to have a row about this but I was at the game yesterday and I genuinely don't think his work rate was good at all. Would be curious to know what his stats say as I think he has become one of those players who polarises opinion and its easy to see what you want to see with him.
I also firmly believe in being patient with players but he's been here over 2 years now. I, for one, am reaching the end of my reserves of patience.
Glenn Hoddle calls him a ’playground player’. I know what he means, shows all the skill in the world in training but doesn’t have the mentality, application, concentration and fitness of a top Premier League player. if we’re going to make one 90 minute player from him and Lo Celso then it has to be Lo Celso getting the 65-75 minutes and Ndombele the remainder. I can’t stand watching him breathing out of his backside looking pleadingly at the bench to be taken off anymore. And I’m a fan of his, I know it doesn’t read like that, I love the twists and turns and clever runs.

Agree, although Skipp was a level above Hojberg IMO.

I know it's a big IF, however if one of his through balls had connected yesterday he would have had an assist. If he continues in games the way he played yesterday then i can see the assists coming from him. Again, big IFs in this statement.

Yeah I agree, unfortunately its the modern game. Especially so in the Premier League. Every player is a beast when it comes to physicality and stamina, even the small guys. I watched Bernado Silva yesterday not give the opponent a second on the ball whilst maintaining brilliant ability and fantastic vision. Ndombele should look at that performance and try to replicate it, he has the ability.

Nah first half in particular he was pressing a lot. Certainly more than the other midfielders

Rubbish. He spent most of the first half hanging around near H up top.
