TheMightySystem Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Absolute quality with the ball at his feet and can actually carry the ball fowards. Says a lot that I stopped mid rant towards the end of the game to applaud a moment of dribbling by him to get clear of Pogba I think, then carry the ball towards the box. Missed that so much this year. Would like to see him partnered with Mendy as that could be a solid combo.

Ndidi gets the ball, looks up, sees nobody in a position to receive a pass (in theory there should be 5 players ready to do so in front of him) so throws his hands up and surges past two of their players before getting hacked down.
Kitchandro Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 At least this bloke looks promising. Not sure he's quite the protective shield Kante was but he's aggressive and good on the ball.

Again..spot on. Told it's own story. A kid of 19 literally took charge of a situation and had no one to pass to. It was disgusting.

This club can never ever appreciate a midfielder for his talents again if he keeps being compared to the best midfielder in the world. Ndidi is looking really good. Lets support him - not compare him.

Crazy Kop Corner Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I'm really impressed with the lad. I thought he was our best player on Tuesday night and today. Great interceptions and he put Pogba on his arse.
les-tah Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 You can tell he's growing in confidence.. until today he hasn't been running with the ball but it's like he went up a level today and made some great surging runs can tell he's adapting to this league more and more.Can't wait to watch him develop shame we might get relegated and lose him.
Dan Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I like this lad. Will be a shame losing him in the summer.

Yeah, saw this happen. About a minute earlier he was looking to pass forward and again there were no options for him. Also had a shot on target. Looks a good player.
les-tah Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Yeah but a year in the championship would real get him used to the toughness of the English game.
harpendenfox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I think it's worth trying him Mendy and Gray as the spine of the team on Wednesday. I'd have Gray playing behind Musa up front, with Wilf and Mendy in the middle of the park. Just see if that combination can pose more attacking threat. But as others have said Wilf is a shining light in a dark sky
Leamington Fox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 I actually thought Pogba looked impressive today, but that's not the point. I think Ndidi is a real class act already. I'll be interested to see how he gets along with Mendy whilst Drinky takes a rest.

les-tah Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Build the team around Ndidi looks the only real deal.
coolhandfox Posted 5 February 2017 Posted 5 February 2017 Best of a poor bunch, I would have took Joe Allen (Went to stoke), Jack Wilshere (On loan at Bournemouth), over Mendy and Ndidi!

There was another incident where he received the ball then played it forwards to king so that he could turn around and break only for king to ping it straight back at him whilst he had opposing players surrounding him! Luckily he managed to get it out of his feet and play it outwide but as soon as he did he told king exactly what he thought. He was the only player on that pitch today that had fight and any urgency about them! If we had a team full of players like him then we would be fine.

Ollie93 Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Anyone notice how annoyed Ndidi was getting on Sunday. He was receiving the ball and screaming for an option which wasn't there.
waylander Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 We have a lot of good signings but they need time . This lad looks the best though .
