Jose Mourinho called out Tanguy Ndombele for his poor performance in Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-1 draw with Burnley, insisting the midfielder can do a lot better if he upped his fitness levels, and it appears a lot of supporters agree.
Mourinho properly calling out Ndombele. ‘I was expecting players not tired to give more to the team… ‘somebody’ has to realise this is the PL. I hope that next season he can be fantastic…’.

The 23-year-old was substituted at half-time on Saturday afternoon and received a lot of criticism from fans on social media after an abject showing at Turf Moor. Ndombele started alongside Oliver Skipp in the engine room and neither player made it out in the second half.
Plenty of positives to take out of that second half! Ndombele is useless #THFC

Ndombele is incredibly talented but deserves the criticism as he's not working hard enough. Jose's right #THFC

We're in march, when is Ndombele going to be fit and/or acclimated to the premier league I've high hopes for the lad, but come on, he still can't play for 90 minutes #THFC

Mourinho is right I’m afraid in calling out ndombele as his fitness and performance have not matched his price tag. If i was him and i had his talent which is clearly visible I’d make sure i was able to play every week and make an effort which he clearly is not doing.#COYS #THFC

The guy is a joke. Clearly got so much ability, but lacks desire and energy. His attitude must be all wrong to not put the hard yards in to get match fit
