From an article in the Guardian way back when we first signed him:
"Ndombele had another problem at Guingamp – a propensity to be slightly overweight – and it was cited among the reasons for the refusal to give him a senior deal. “People told me he could put on weight,” said Philippe Le Maire, who was on the club’s youth staff. “To put it in simple terms – he built his bottom half before the top.”"
Poch warned us that it would take a long time for him to reach the physical standard needed in the PL. He was not wrong about that and Mou has said similar things.
Why would we need to have Tanganga on the bench if Ndombele was fit?
Starting to think we didn't actually sign Lo Celso , all a smokescreen
They have just picked some one of the street and told them to sit on the bench all season and pretend to be him
Lo celso and Ndombele are turning into car crashes of a transfer strategy.
Winks and Sissoko has never worked but until we buy or Lo Celso and Ndombele are ready to start our options are awful.
We'll be looking to bypass the midfield and get the front 4 hitting quickly.
Makes our matches quite uncertain as we're simply looking to outscore the opposition. We won't be outplaying many teams with this lineup.

Strange scenes inside the goldmine. Don't get too excited about Dier being benched; he'll probably start against Norwich now.
Lo Celso behind Winks is a crime
Injuries are a bitch. They have both had big injury problems and our horrible form under Poch meant we couldn't afford to start experimenting with players of limited PL experience, we needed points on the board and both managers preferred players they knew more closely.
I hope the team can win this game well and then Lo Celso can get an opportunity to show something from the bench.
A human tragedy, as Gattuso might say.
Jose has his hands tied with the midfield. We need a top def mid to free up sissoko Ndombele winks etc who are all 8s. Ndombele would atleast be in the squad if fit.
Club knew they couldn't get away with another summer of inactivity so they panicked and looks like they have outdone themselves this time
Touché
Mourinho proving to be Poch from the future so far when it comes to team selections.
Sessegnon and Lucas are in the team, so not really.
I see Brighton are going with wingbacks. That's a great way to stop us.
Ndombele must have taken the absolute piss at Christmas dinner yesterday.
Sissoko and Winks in midfield..... *shudders*
