let's be honest my man
the abuse Tanguy received here was absolutely disgusting.
I don't think I've seen another player recieve the same treatment.
One of the funniest things I've read on this thread.

Or Winks, or Soldado, or Crouch, or even Robbie fucking Keane when his stock started to drop.Trying reading about our FBs. Any of them. At any given point in time.
Was looking back through some posts this summer, including my own. The amount of shite thrown at this guy is unbelievable now, yet pretty deserved at the time. I remember doubling down on his ability and work ethic, especially after he returned to training. The amount of people on here calling him LAZY - we’re talking about a nobody of a prospect who made it from Ligue 2 to bossing Barca and City in the CL in two seasons - was absurd. I will also admit worrying that fitness or personality clashes with Jose were holding him back from ever reaching that potential. He was giving lazy performances and I think a lot of people who wanted him sold wouldn’t have been wrong at the time.
But the time is now, and Tanguy has arrived. When Moussa Dembele was sold to China I thought there would be dozens of years before I ever saw a Spurs player with the ball control he has. N’Dombele may already be there in less than 18 months as a Spurs player.
Watch this compilation and I bet you’ll start laughing when you see what he did to Kante and Silva. He’s a genius, seriously reminds me of Ronaldinho in tight spaces in that he is completely unique with his body feints. Never seems to do the same move twice. Pogba hasn’t put in a performance like this in years.
Completely. As I said before it was self perpetuating. Someone would state an outright unproven statement as a hypothesis then it slowly became fact as so many people were repeating it.
Not hard to see why someone who places a lot of faith in the ITKs would develop a very negative opinion of our Lord and Savior.
Unsure if it’s been said, but he really stood out as the Dembele replacement he was supposed to be on Sunday. Less graceful than the moose, but 100% nailing that role. Love it.

incredibly talented and his getting away from markers is brilliant. don't have stats, but don't think his ball retention is great (admittedly his passing is more progressive than dembele's, but even in less 'risky' scenarios) and needs to have a great influence on matches IMO.
He needs to add an end product. All the spins and flicks don't mean much if he loses the ball afterwards..
Some people getting a bit carried away with him IMO. Still can't seem to last 90 mins although i'd blame the manager for that personally.
I'm a big fan of his skills though. Would help if the manager allowed another midfielder to play with him who can actually pass the ball forward instead of Shitsosoko.
I'm pretty sure he played a perfectly weighted through ball for son to score in 5 minutes against city?
Which we need to see more of. That's his only assist this season and he has 0 goals. If he's playing as an AM with 2 defensive midfielders behind him, those numbers need to go up.
God knows we'd be going mental if Dele had those numbers playing as a number 10.
Hmm he's scored a winning goal in the Europa league that saved us being knocked out embarrassingly before the groupstage. He scored the equaliser against united. He set us on our way for several of the goals against Southampton and united creating the space for Kane and Son to connect. He's contributing plenty of end product. My only gripe with him was last season he clearly gave up at one point you can blame fitness and confidence all you want but 0 sprints In a half of football is an attitude thing my 60 year old dad could sprint once. But he has sorted that out he's now vital to us going forwards. and clearly making up stats to knock him is crazy.
Oh yeh i forgot that goal v Utd, 1 goal and 1 assist then. Still as a number 10 he needs to push those numbers upwards. People seem to be getting a bit carried away with him especially as he only plays an hour a game.
we are not getting carried away. We just know when we see a special player.
Not sure we will see much of him & Lo Celso together. It is becoming more obvious why Jose is playing Sissoko, he is covering the channels and making us hard to beat. Think we will only see it when we are chasing games.
