I want to laugh at Arsenal for spunking so much cash on Pepe.
But we bought Ndombele, who's been a far, far worse buy.
Jose roasting him FFS. Saying he needs to give more and has had enough time to adapt, but hopes he will be fantastic next season. Make or break perhaps...
I personally thought he was fine first half by the way lol
And here in lies the problem. He was fucking abysmal, like the rest of our team and coach.Jose roasting him FFS. Saying he needs to give more and has had enough time to adapt, but hopes he will be fantastic next season. Make or break perhaps...

You also need the manager to back you. Mourinho has to take some responsibility as well instead of throwing players under the bus... he played 5 at back first half against Burnley then paired Ndombele with Skipp nothing against Skipp changed the system completely second half and pushed us further up field.This guy needs to sort himself out! I am a massive fan of his but clearly something is amiss. You have to have confidence and the right attitude to succeed in football and he's clearly missing both currently and has missed the right attitude for some time if previous teammates are to be believed. He is a massive talent but he needs to put the effort it. Milner isn't the greatest footballer you will see, but he's bloody good because he's committed and puts the effort in. He needs to sort it out as soon as possible as it's becoming a joke now.
He’s tried everything else and it hasn’t worked. Calling him out is about the only thing left.NDombele plays best with the ball at his feet so constantly lumping the ball long this bypassing him means he isn’t going to shine. He clearly has fitness issues and struggling to adapt to the league. Am not sure publicly calling him out is gonna do much to help him progress.
That's so wrong....you can't put that first half performance solely down to Ndombele. Mourinho is an idiot he has pervious with other players at different clubs he can't help himself.I’ve defended Ndombele through the injury spell but I have to say I think Jose’s comments are fair. It’s absurd that we’ve got a group of players who we haven’t been able to rotate at all, and who are clearly fatigued, who nevertheless display far more desire and commitment than Ndombele. He’s got to sort his attitude out and if it takes being publicly challenged by the manager then so be it.
The pair of them have no ideal of spacial awareness when it comes to team mates. Formation didn't help either in the first half, but they barely showed a thing in 45 minutes of football.Whilst I totally get Jose‘a criticism of him, I also think it’s very harsh to single him out when Skipp was equally bad.
The only thing you can criticise Jose for in that interview was the fact he said it so publicly. Otherwise everything he said was correct? I love Ndombele and I think if he got fit he’d be one of the best in Europe. That’s where Jose’s frustration stems from. He’s looking for a reaction.Mourinho got his tactics completely wrong and basically got out of jail by throwing Ndombele under the bus...... So poor. I couldn't believe what I heard from him.
I saw this guy play against Villa at the start of the season, seemed to be no problem then.
