Relative to the quality of player and team we have that was one of the worst performances I can remember since we lost 4-2 at home to Newcastle literally 5 games ago.

Cannot understand how Ndidi is (relatively) one of our top rated players.

As anonymous and easily contained as the likes of Vardy, Maddison and Barnes were, Ndidi was far worse, he got bullied all game in the middle of the park and we completely lost the game in midfield.

3 tackles

3 interceptions

3 clearances

 

below average for him, but better than most of the dross

3 tackles from 8 attempted (37% success rate - by far and away the worst on the pitch)
Was dribbled past 5 times (by far and away the worst on the pitch - 2nd most dribbled past was Tiedemans with 2, no one else had more than 1)
Dispossesed twice

It wasn't "average for him, but better than most of the dross" at all. West Ham ran through him several times, far more than any other player, he couldn't cope with them today and they got success after success by going one-one-on with him and past him.

He was just as bad, if not worse than the likes of Soyuncu or Thomas at trying to cope with them today, he was thoroughly bullied, because he's not last man, it's just not as obvious when it doesn't lead to a direct shot.

He was never bullied. In fact when Antonio took it off him 3 times, he nicked it back twice. The way the commentators were banging on, you'd think he'd been stripped naked and tied to a goalpost. His goal aside, Tielemans was far worse, one of his worst games since he signed.

He absolutely was. They went past him with so much ease today. The stats don't lie with Ndidi today, he was dribbled past far more than any other player and had by far the worst tackle success rate. I completely agree Tielemans was also bad and his goal papered over his performance, but Ndidi was bullied today and couldn't cope with them.

said below before you posted, its not a one man team though is it.

If you think we was bad with Ndidi it wasnt gong to get much better with Mendy are a young Soumare who kept giving the ball away last week

He was always going to get bullied, there was only him and Tielemans who is hardly renowned as a tackling midfielder. Add Perez and Maddison into the equation and what could you honestly reasonably predict? It was always going to happen before the game even started. We were given two huge clues last season. Even Inspector Clouseau could have solved that one 😁

Where have I said anyone should replace him or that he's a one man team? You're making a completely different argument.

I think he's a great player, I'm just saying when he does have a very poor game (as he has in both league games so far) people still rate him (relatively) highly on here for that individual match in a way they don't afford to other players. When he has really poor games, people just seem to say "it was average, but better than most of the dross" because it didn't lead directly to goals (because he has the defence behind him), even if he was overrun far more than any other player on the pitch as he was today.

He was just as poor as Soyuncu or Thomas tonight and deserves to be rated as such for this game, that's all I'm saying, he certainly was not "better than the dross" tonight, he absolutely was just as much a part of the dross as anyone. That doesn't mean I want him dropped or want Mendy or Soumare to replace him.
