We also need some players who can pass a footballAnother player with a weak mentality it seems. We need some warriors willing to run through brick walls.
Here is his vs Villa...Ndombele has been nothing short of disgraceful since signing. Started the season in what looked about 2 stone overweight and totally unfit. Yes he is great going forward, but defensively his reliability is poor. It looks like neither manager has really fancied him. If he did cry off over fear of an old injury then jm has the right to call him on it. His reaction to this incident will tell us a lot, do we have kante on our hands or abother pogba?
If ndombele starts vs Norwich then resting him for Brighton makes sense but if not then what on earth is going on lol
I can accept that.In the interview after the Brighton match, Jose said Tanguy approach him before the game and told Jose that he feel he is not able to play against Brighton due to fear of his previous injury recurring

“I cannot say he is injured, in five minutes we start a training session and you can go to the stands and watch it, he is going to be training normally so I cannot say he is injured,” Mourinho said.
“I can say that yesterday he told me he was not feeling in condition to play the game.
“Not based on injuries, based on fears of previous injuries that he has had since the beginning of the season.
“Feeling not ready to start the game, but I cannot say he is injured, I can say he is not in condition to start the game, which is different.”
We need players that balance the team. I'm so bored now of buying this player or that player. We need to buy players that fit the formation . strategy of the manager.
If Ndombele doesn't then sell him. I know that's crazy because i think he will be a lovely footballer and his passing ability is some the best i've seen. But if he can only last 30 minutes each game and is never fully fit in this league and what is expected, then why waste time.
Look at Liverpool. They buy players specific to their tactics. They have 3 CM destroyers, that can all run for days and play so football and have about 6 of these to choose from, each will not look out of place.
They buy AM who can fill in for Salah or Mane, but only when they are injured, if not, they play and they seem to have no issues with that. Because they have bought players who are robust and can deal mentally and physically with the demands of this league. They just got that Japanese player on the cheap who will easily fill in for one of them and do a very good job.
We need to be more intelligent in the market. But first we need to know what our main formation is and what we really need from those players.
It seems currently, Kane, Dele, Son, Toby are the only 4 players that really meet Jose's requirements. Which is pretty scary.
TN is a phenomenal talent but he needs to play against a modern day DM and we currently don’t have one. We should purchase his former central midfield partner Aouar from Lyon.

Too expensive plus not defensive enough. Great player.TN is a phenomenal talent but he needs to play against a modern day DM and we currently don’t have one. We should purchase his former central midfield partner Aouar from Lyon.
