Agreed.
Depends where he plays. If he's on the shoulder of the last man and the ball is played in front of him, he's fine, playing into space shouldn't be an issue.
He's never going to have the first touch of Eriksen, it simply isn't his game.
'cool it, yeah' he's gonna be our Aubangeyang.
The N'Jie effect:
13 games involved in.
TOTAL: 6 wins (46%) 5 draws (38%) 2 loss (14%)
In those games - Spurs scored 24 goals, conceded 11 goals - so a GD of +13 (Better than teams ≤5-20th)
In the Europa League
5 games W3 (60%) D1(20%) L1 (20%)
Goals scored 10 (2 per game)
Goals conceded 5 (1 per game)
GD = +5
To put into perspective a +5 GD, if that form is maintained in the Premier league you'd have a GD of +38
'We've got N'Jie, Clinton N'Jie' - stick that in your pipe Woolwich and West Ham fans.

It's infallible logic of a cunt, and as a cunt, I love it.
Fucking yes. He could we be our ace-in-the-hole for the run in if he can get fit quickly enough.
Offers a key rotation option for Kane (or indeed to bring Kane off earlier in a match) while also being fast as fuck. Really liked the look of him before his injury.
Admittedly, knee injuries are tough going, but fingers crossed he comes back well.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of N'jie. He looks like an intelligent player in the sense that he makes the right decisions. I'm not that worried about his touch as it's something that can be worked on. I'd be much more nervous if he was an unintelligent player with a good touch

Completely agree, we bought him because we have done our scouting and believe we can improve his technique, he has a footballing brain and is naturally fast as fuck.
Will be an important player for us in the run in.
Not expecting much from him this season, but we'll definitely see more in the next one
problem with clinton is that how often do we play football that involves getting the striker in behind and through on goal. Especially at home where our own management and players have admitted that the dimensions of the pitch make it easier for teams to defend without allowing space behind the back four.
He seemed very raw when he was playing and, whilst i'm not saying he won't ever be a great player for us, to expect him to come back and make a massive difference with less than 9 games to go is wildly optimistic in my eyes.

This is a very accurate and true assessment of him. I really think he may struggle with us and the way we play. His first touch is not very good and that isn't his game to be fair to him. The way we are dominating possession in our opponents half, we need quick passing and clever movement to break teams down. It's clear he has a lot of raw ability and natural gifts but I really don't see him playing much of a part in the run in. Happy to be proved wrong though.
He's not the angel to our striker depth crisis (if you can call it that) he is however, in my opinion, a better option up top than Son.
Certainly looks raw but showed what he could do with that assist in the 4-1 vs City. I'm sure he will come good with time. All hail the blackbox!
