Been switching games. Looks like the best midfielder on the park and playing DM once again.

How have Lyon set up? Was he the sole DM?Been switching games. Looks like the best midfielder on the park and playing DM once again.

dysfunctional midfieldHaving a midfield trio of Herrera - Ndombele - Pogba could be quite good.
Because...dysfunctional midfield
Care to elaborate?dysfunctional midfield
To replace Matic, Ndidi without a doubt he is clearly more defensive skilled. But I see Ndombele as the one with the most potential but for Herrera's role, I don't think Ndombele is a pure CDM like Ndidi but more of a CM with high stamina and defensive skills like Herrera.Ndidi or Ndombele? Both at the same age, both has something about them. Who is a better fit to replace Matic?
This would no doubt be a phenomenal window with Sanchez gone as well.Ndombele, Sancho and De Ligt would be a dream window!
It should be two signings not too hard to make, and both guaranteed to improve us immediately and provide cover as well as growing into better players than what we have at the moment. Sounds like a no brainer. I'm sure Lyon would be interested in Pereira too which could make the transfer even more likely. What do you reckon 80m combined for the both of them? Still money left to get Sancho and a fullback.To replace Matic, Ndidi without a doubt he is clearly more defensive skilled.

We should aim for both.
Agree with this. Would add that I think we should be in for Alderweireld too. He may be 29 but at 25m he's worth it even for just a few years. It would also prevent some of our rivals from getting him. I do not want to see Liverpool like up next season with VVD and Alderweireld.Ndombele, Sancho and De Ligt would be a dream window!
30-35 for Ndidi and 40-45 for Ndombele should make it, I hope we get a good DOF before the summer and let him work the magic. If Woodward is still making the calls by then we will inevitably hear about how we wanted to sign Bale, Ramos, Varane but end up with none.It should be two signings not too hard to make, and both guaranteed to improve us immediately and provide cover as well as growing into better players than what we have at the moment.

Never in a million years will thise two go for those prices! Leicester were quoting 75m for Maguire a year after they purchased him and Lyon, notorious difficult negotiators having just seen Ajax sell De Jong for 80m wont accept 45m for Ndombele.30-35 for Ndidi and 40-45 for Ndombele should make it, I hope we get a good DOF before the summer and let him work the magic.

Ndombele. The sort of player that'll transform our midfield. Without him Lyon would barely have gotten past the half way line over the two legs vs Barca.Ndidi or Ndombele? Both at the same age, both has something about them. Who is a better fit to replace Matic?
Sorry for the late reply. 3512. I've forgotten bthe name of his midfield partner. In the first leg it was Auar.How have Lyon set up? Was he the sole DM?

Was it messi that destroyed him?Good deep lying playmaker on the ball and against Barcelona he was Lyon's main ball winner and deepest CM.
However he's quite half hearted with his tracking back. He was always slowly jogging back or walking when you watch Barcelona's chances. He's not a player who senses danger and works hard to get himself in a position to snuff it out. I'd have him somewhere between Fred and Pogba in terms of effort when his team dont have the ball. I'm not sure that McTominay isnt better at protecting the backline than he is.
Barcelona had all the time in the world to pick their passes in midfield and put the front players through. Very much a luxury for the occasion. I think you'd need a great CB partnership behind him that never need protection defensively because they wont really get it from him. Looks like some stamina or mobility issues too, when his poor touch lost the ball for the 5th goal he did a Pogba and stood still for a few seconds before reacting then again slowly jogged back looking the most leggy of Lyon's players as Barcelona broke and scored
It was BarcelonaWas it messi that destroyed him?
Hard team to be a cdm against them for anyone.It was Barcelona
Especially when you are jogging or walkingHard team to be a cdm against them for anyone.
I have seen prime carrick, Alonso, pirlo getting found out against them, total football is difficult to control, although I'd agree he is not another kante and vunrable to those errors.Especially when you are jogging or walking
Is he always half arsed or was he just sick of his team conceding yesterday?Good deep lying playmaker on the ball and against Barcelona he was Lyon's main ball winner and deepest CM.

He's not even a McTominay right now. At least with McTominay he's running up and down looking to get into the right position for the team. N'Dombele didnt look like he thought it was his job to get into areas between defense and midfield to help defendI have seen prime carrick, Alonso, pirlo getting found out against them, total football is difficult to control, although I'd agree he is not another kante and vunrable to those errors.
This is player most though was Jose's love child, right? Now he's one of the most sought after midfielders?He's not even a McTominay right now.
