David Ginola
(he looked best in some of the Poch games)
That was not quite so difficult.
(he looked best in some of the Poch games)
He has moments (he looked best in some of the Poch ganes), but he looked really poor on the week-end.
Not sure if it's fitness, league adjustment, knowing his role, hope Jose can get him to consistency quickly.
Ndombele is the replacement for Dembele or the upgrade on Winks imo. Deep playing, playmaker qualities, adequate defensively. Longer perspective the replacement for Modric that we never got (though that's a different discussion).
At our best Eriksen mostly started as an attacking midfielder in one if the wide roles. Alli as the #10, Son in the other wide role. Lo Celso seems like the more natural replacement for him, though Mourinho might have changed things.
What doesn't make sense is judging these signings of young players coming in from different leagues (Lo Celso, Ndombele) or primarily as signings for the future (Sessegnon) based on what they've done in their first half a season with us. People now rightly big up Fabinho for Liverpool, but this time last season he had hardly started featuring.
I'm not understanding anything to do with NDombele. I thought the same re Dembele.
But have been told I'm wrong! NDo is more Pogba/Eriksen/Pirlo/???
It’s a tribute to ZakoraIf only there was a thread title with the proper spelling.
You never got that from ParkerIt’s why these players have ups and down
I'm not sure you understand the role Mourinho wants Dier (and pretty much all of his destroyers in other teams) to play.Dier was bypassed just as often as NDombele, he was constantly wrong side of the ball. We might as well have not bothered playing a defensive midfield player and just played somebody good instead.
I'm trying to buy a large wooden cross in time for our next home game so we can crucify Dier after the game anyone interested in joining meet up a Tottenham Marshs and bring your own white sheet and pointy hat.
he is a creative player in a CM role so a number 8 in the old systems... not a 10 like Eriksen
when I followed him in France he was an outstanding line break player because of his dribbling (you couldn’t get them ball off him)
moved here he has shown exceptional passing too
he isn’t a mad running harasser like a Kante
Arguably we needed a lot of things. A proper upgrade on, or at the very least alternative to, Winks was high up that list imo. Let's see how Ndombele does when fully settled and up to speed.Far too complicated!
We needed a "mad running harasser". (love the name)
We atm Ndombele looks like a jack of all trades etc
Time, of course, to improve I have no doubt.
GLC though is going to be on his way in Jan he really is not getting a sniff. The Fail were spreading rumours earlier today that he's not happy I can't blame him, first injured, then a new manager, not easy.
Lo Celso looks very talented
All autocorrects.If only there was a thread title with the proper spelling.
Apart from this one. This ones just silly.He looks OK at the very best IMHO.
NDembele looks to have a 'certain something'.
Is that right?Apart from this one. This ones just silly.
I'm guessing that getting outplayed and constantly being bypassed is not how Mourinho wants them to play.I'm not sure you understand the role Mourinho wants Dier (and pretty much all of his destroyers in other teams) to play.

I could be wrong though.....
