Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[sage]

not surprised he's turning a corner.. I mean, who wouldn't be motivated after hearing Levy's GCSEs story

 

[Yiddo100]

Incredible

 

[Singaspursofsixspence]

Great pass and solid display to stay in his feet for Son’s goal

 

[rossdapep]

Incredible

Fantastic for the goal and he has been the only one looking to make something work.

However until our defence start passing into midfield we will not get the best out of him

 

[deanostheyido]

Just here to say Ndombele is our most talented creative player. That is all.

 

[codspur]

Feels like he is our only midfielder. Pierre isn’t even Palacios good leet alone Wanyama good

 

[Curtis Peterson]

Ndombele and Lo Celso are the kind of players who can make something out of nothing with a single pass and we saw it on that goal. Pair that with one of the best, if not the best, passing strikers in the world in Kane and the speed running off of him in Son, Bergwijn, Lucas and Bale... well we saw that goal. I think there is a lot of promise going forward, hope we can put in a good second half.

Edit- Not surprised to see Tanguy off after halftime, let’s blame the yellow card!

Unless it was a pre planned sub, it absolutely made no sense

 

[Yiddo100]

Unless it was a pre planned sub, it absolutely made no sense

He was probably only going to play 60mins tops, plus he was booked so just forwarded it a bit

Or maybe its Kane...

Unless it was a pre planned sub, it absolutely made no sense

Played 15 versus Everton, 30 vs Plovdiv and 45 today. Clearly a plan

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Probably just upping his minutes by the game. Almost no pre season, played midweek, had Covid possibly. Was our best player first half.

One things for sure, while midfield improves when Lo Celso is on the pitch. Hopefully Ndombele gets to reap that benefits soon.

 

[Spurs 1961]

I like to think that JM is getting both Ndombele and Lo Celso up to speed slowly. Both have had problems with injuries and maybe he is just being canny. As much as I like to criticise Mourinho such actions would be to the long term benefit of the team

 

[rossdapep]

Don't think you could even criticise him too much for the performance in first half, he was working hard and putting himself about I just think he's more effective deeper but Jose is getting him up to speed first before moving him deeper.

He could maybe have shown for the ball a bit more but he was clearly the only one trying to find Kane's feet. Winks and Hojbjerg kept playing out wide and it was always congested.

Hopefully he starts in Europa as I think the pace will be kinder.

 

[The Opinionated Lurker]

I’d like to think that by the time Bale’s fit again, Gio Tanguy and PEH will have emerged as our best midfield three because the amount of chances that’ll be created for that front three will be insane

 

[Clark28]

I’d like to think that by the time Bale’s fit again, Gio Tanguy and PEH will have emerged as our best midfield three because the amount of chances that’ll be created for that front three will be insane

especially if Kane is dropping deeper and helping to feed Son and Bale

 

[allpaths]

very happy he finally looks like he wants to be at the club. just needs to get the legs so he can do his bit in midfield. Can very easily become our yaya toure.

 

[Tucker]

His play for the goal was wonderful that’s what everyone has been expecting from him isn’t it. He just needs to keep up the good work and get fit.

Him and Lo Celso could both be huge players for us.

 

[chrissivad]

With the games coming up, hopefully he can get 60+ mins under his belt.

Still needs to work harder off the ball, but showed great strength on it and link up play
