Ndombele appreciation...

He is a top talent, but we are paying 200K a week for a player who can not play more than 65 - 70 mins in any one game. Sooner or later he has to get his fitness up to the levels required, having to sub him every game is no good.

This. He looks like he can’t go past 60 mins to be fair to Jose. The head goes down and body language isn’t great. It basically says I’m ready to come off.

Prob fed up of the team just sitting back all half. He does seem like one guy who does get himself further up the pitch, probably why Jose is playing him as a number 10

Against Wolves has ran all over the pitch for 70 minutes and was still going strong when Mourinho took him off.
He can go a full 90 I think.
At Kane's level of effort too.
And what a difference he makes to the team!!

Him and Hojberg are great - need to get that midfield working properly as a unit

yes

His sub was nothing to do with fitness. He had just made a great run and if anything looked fresher than kane and many others. Lets not fall for the rhetoric that he is unfit.

not sure he really has to

Needs to complete 3 games back to back playing 90 minutes in at least two of those games for me to sing his praises from the hills but against Wolves he was brilliant.
