Absolutely has to play at CDM till the end of the season if we are going to persist with the current system. everyone else there has been shit, he was effective today
 
One of the few bright sparks. He does naturally what two managers have been trying to coach Winks to do for the last 3 or 4 seasons. Imagine how much better he'll be once he's played as many games as Winks.

Totally agree, Winks shouldnt be playing DM ever anyway - hes more a Modric (obviously not as good) kind of player, metronome passer

One potentially big positive to take out of this game is now, after saying that, he pretty much has to play him at CDM till the end of the season, surely

Not necessarily every game, but he's clearly capable of putting in decent appearances so no reason why he shouldn't be playing regularly - especially if Dier is now to play as a CB

If he doesnt play then we have to go 3 at the back with wingbacks as everyone else in the squad has been absolute pony at CDM

I like the look and performance but he is soo small. He will get bullied on the ball in big games.

Dunno about that.... Kante, Gattuso and Makelele are some of the best ive ever seen in that position and they were about the same size (Kante is only 5ft 5?)

Why does ndombele deserve to start?

Because Totti likes him which means literally nothing else matters and excuses will be made until the end of time as to why nothing Ndombele does actually matters and it's all 'bad luck' or 'bad supporters' or whatever.

ZERO good performances over 90 minutes since he signed. Yet he should start every game. Gotcha.

If Dier has a poor performance though? Crucify him.

No I disagree with you. He’s had a few good performances... but that was when we had a full strength team. He shouldn’t be near this team at the moment as he can’t manage 60 minutes. We are shit enough as it is. I don’t want him out but he needs to get his act together and make himself our first choice centre midfielder for next season. And that requires more work in the gym, talent is there.
