I think the words 22 year old and fatigue should never be seen in the same sentence.
Tottenham star Tanguy Ndombele clarifies why he was substituted
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has clarified why he was substituted whilst playing against Sheffield United last weekend.ninetyminutesonline.com
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has clarified that fatigue was the reason he was substituted at half-time of his side’s weekend draw with Sheffield United.
The 22-year-old was withdrawn at the interval of Spurs’ frustrating 1-1 draw against the Blades, after looking sluggish in the first 45 minutes.
“I’ve had scans that said there was nothing serious, it was more fatigue,” he said to L’Equipe.
I’m not sure. It’s an interesting one. He does like counter attacking football, so he will like his pace. But he will absolutely need Moura to stay out wide rather than take up Kane’s space (same might apply to Son as well).
He was also (I think) keen to get Lucas at UTD.
Also, why not just reverse the tactic? Drop the RB and push the LB (Sess) up?
I can't fathom people criticizing Jose already when you consider the following:
1. He's not had a real period of time to work with this squad to instill his philosophy/approach
2. We're dealing with a lot of injuries to key players
3. The squad was severely under invested in for years and is now showing the effects of that
We've moved from 14th to 8th.
Didn't he often play a midfield diamond at United
Worried for Winks, Sessegnon and the academy lads
Supposedly he only signed Matic as Spurs wouldn’t sell him Dier so he could well be a favourite son of Mourinho’s.
Going to put this out there but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot more of Eriksen. It’s going to be hugely unpopular but I reckon one of the first things Mourinho will do is sit him down and tell him to work his ass off or he can spend the rest of the season in the youth squad. He’ll probably start at West Ham and play an absolute blinder.
You guys know tactics way better than I ever will, but I never want to see Aurier in a Spurs shirt again. Can put up w a lot from a player as long as they are actually trying. Serge seems to half-ass his way around the field way too often. The talk of him walking back leaving Lamela (who screamed for him to track back) to cover for him...no good.
I felt that way about CE because he no longer was putting in an honest shift. But if JM can restore him to what he can be, I'm up for it. Just not at all sure he can accomplish that.
I like Dier, but lack the faith in him. Just seems to have fallen way off. Nervous about the talk of him suddenly playing a ton.
Love Ndombele, but have to admit I don't get why his fitness level is still so off. Needs his fitness to catch up to his talent. But at least he has the talent.
Dele is the mystery to me. Know he has had injury issues, but he really seems to have regressed from his early years. Honestly, when he stopped getting overly emotional, his game seemed to dip.

That they will be overworked now?
Because Poch did not give flying f*ck about young players. It is laughable myth and a clichee that he was "promoting youth players into the team".
Skipp, KWP and Tanganga this season are brilliant examples.
All in all he only ever promoted one player into senior lineup prominently - Winks.
And this is an awful return.
During his full 2 seasons, Mou gave Rashford 105 games (!!!) when he was 19-20.
Fortunately Davies will be back very soon.
At the moment Mou can’t really select and structure a proper team for each match, it’s just a case of dealing with the circumstances and getting eleven players onto the pitch and trying to win the game.
When Lloris, Ndombele and Davies are available then we can really get going.

I don't think Moura will suddenly be the main man.
He's no Robben lets be honest. Lamela probably suits Mourinho more.

4-5-1. Kane as number 9 again.
