Jamie O’Hara has claimed that Tanguy Ndombele ‘runs out of legs’ for Tottenham after 65 minutes, as he posted on his Instagram live.
The former Spurs man shared that it’s ‘ridiculous’ that Ndombele is still in such a situation.
Ndombele has started five Premier League games on the bounce for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side – completing 90 minutes only once.
Just like Tottenham’s defeat at West Ham on Sunday, he is always subbed before the full-time whistle.
O’Hara was critical of Ndombele’s fitness levels and how they aren’t seemingly up to standards.
“Ndombele just runs out of legs,” said O’Hara. “He can only play 65 minutes and then he has to come off. Ridiculous.”
The problem for Ndombele here is that this has been an issue ever since he walked through the doors of the North London club.
It needs to be remembered that the Frenchman is still Tottenham’s club-record signing – and it’s probably a deal Daniel Levy is now deeply regretting.
Forget about ability on the ball, whether he can pass it, create, defend his backline or score goals.
The fact that Ndombele struggles with the basics of the game, by seeing out 90 minutes without huffing and puffing, is a serious worry and one that needs to be sorted.
