The issue last year was lack of application and looking disinteresedt. This year it's way different.
What's the problem now?
He can do more things with a ball in 60 minutes then most players in 180 minutes. So who cares if he seems to be replaced around that mark of most games, it's working very well, when he's on the pitch, he's pressing more, he's tracking more and has some of the best quality on the ball you'll see from any CM. This game is all about managing a squad and it's hardly terrible to be brining on Lo Celso for him 60 minutes into a game. Anyone that can't see a huge improvement or see his importance to our team is not looking hard enough. All we can ask for as fans its application and improvement, both of those boxes get a huge tick this year.

I already analysed your nonsense mate you deflected and asked me if I was having a bad day, I've already explained why his fitness levels are unlikely to be the reason for him not finishing 90 minutes, so don't bother circling back yet again when you couldn't be bothered to respond properly the first time.

Hang on a sec, because he has 2 goals and 2 assists he's not justifying his price tag, you do realise at Lyon in his last two seasons he scored 1 goal and got 7 and 6 assists in the league. So i'm unsure what you expected him to be for us, his game is so much more than being the focal point of goals and assists. He's press resistance, his pass before the assist, his link up with the attack with quick incisive passing breaking the lines ... etc etc.
Disregarding we are top of the league, against United, Chelsea, City and Arsenal we have conceded 1 goal and have 10 points out of 12.
We have just qualified for knock out stages in Europe.
We are still in the league cup.
But because of these two stats and because he isn't playing every minute of every game he isn't providing enough for us currently regardless of the above. You do know we can't go higher than top of the league. This place is hilarious.
I’ve simply pointed out the facts and that I expect More from our record signing. I really don’t mind if you agree or not. I’ve seen dozens of top class players at Spurs, Ndombele isn’t anywhere near them.
I’ll be absolutely delighted if he tears it up all season but I’ve seen nothing to suggest he will.
The reason we’re top is far more to do with PEH, Kane and Son than Ndombele. Now they really are top class professional footballers.

As I said, I accept that your view is he's not top class, I frankly can't be bothered to argue with you about that and I'm happy to agree to disagree, but the talk about his fitness is absolute nonsense and you keep bringing it up and I think you should appreciate the other circumstances that cause him not to complete 90 minutes and not come in here spouting the odds that he's not at the required fitness levels.

I think you have to respect the players and their roles. It’s not Ndombele’s role to score and assist just as it wasn’t modric’s or dembeles but it doesn’t mean he has been a big part of our good run this season
What is his role then?
Top class player ?

Lo Celso who needs and deserves minutes and last 2 matches when it happened other midfielders Hojbjerg and Sissoko were crucial.
Kickstart attacks when we gain possession in our own half.

To break the press, receive the ball create and make incisive passes. He generally plays too deep to get assists but he often assists the assister

So PEH is top class professional footballer with 0 goals and 1 assists? You also should better analyse Ndombele and not miss those 2 games he completed 90 mins or even 120 against Chelsea.
Yeah I saw those games he played well. Ask anybody at the club (I mean playing staff) who they rate out of PEH and Ndombele

And while you're there see who they rate out of Lloris and Reguilon

Guess what, you can leave your agenda against Ndombele and rate both because they are both brilliant footballers.
