I came on to see if anyone thought the same. He seemed a little disinterested in the first and frightening lazy tracking back. Seemed to have a little more juice in the second half but that first half... i dont know. Got me nervous

Was good no doubt but I wonder why we aren't keeping tabs on Aouar who in the few Lyon games I have seen seemed to have outshined Ndombele. Also I think Ndombele looks better whenever Lyon play better opponents. He doesn't look half as good whenver the play "inferior opposition"
Sounds a lot like the Otamendi v Mangala situation back in the day. Anytime I watched Porto, Otamendi was always the better defender, the one organizing andathe better footballer, yet somehow Mangala was the one everyone was after.Was good no doubt but I wonder why we aren't keeping tabs on Aouar who in the few Lyon games I have seen seemed to have outshined Ndombele.

Wondered what I was missing. Turned out I wasn't missing anything.
Hope that's not the case here. But again, it is worth noting that Ndombele doesn't see himself as a DM
Ndombele was doubtfull till the day before the game, had an ankle issue
to see him every week (i m french) i think he will be a great addition to the team , Best lyon player already and room for improvment
have no doubt that under Pep, can become a world class complete midfielder

I still see an incredibly one footed player. It’s astounding how good and quick he is that he can wring foot players to get on his right but I really can’t imagine that in Peps system. Maybe I’m wrong and it never gets talked about while everyone wants him so I must be but it’s all I see watching him
Agreed watching that clip it was entirely one foot and that makes him very vulnerable to strong pressing sides.I still see an incredibly one footed player.

have to disagree
lyon is a posession team ,offensive relying a lot on technical abilities, playing 4-3-3 with offensive full back and 3 technical midfielders(fekir aouar, ndombele)
even if L1 is a weaker league than PL obviously, a lot in common regarding physical aspect and pace of the game

looks good in that vs barca. i am sure we are watching him.. not so sure he fits into the image of perfect football that pep demands. probably would do really well for klopp... i think he could do a decent job in this city side. still wouldnt bet any money on him coming here... pep is a creative guy though. always adapting new ideas. ndombele has some talent... we will see.

For that price , I say it's worth it !
Yep he is young and would still improve under Guardiola and Ferandinho is not getting any younger.Left back and Cdm must this summer and maybe if we could trade Mahrez for another talented winger ,i would do that also.Don´t think Mahrez will ever fir in to this team like we hoped he would

Why do you think that?
Seems to be the way, he is getting much less playing time like i thought he would get, he wants to prove too muhc on the pitch, on many times instead of passing the ball he wants to shoot it and score for himself and most of the time he fails to do that.MAybe he will improve a lot in the second season ,but im not really sure, he wasnt a 20 mil player...

In stature is he another big lump similar to mendy meaning more likely to pick up injuries?

I get the zest of your thinking.If you play around with the letters in his name, ‘lemon bed’ can be spelt.
I think it’s the biggest sign yet that we should sign him.

I think Pep will show a little more faith and patience over what some fans want to afford him. You are quite correct though, he wasnt a 20 mil player
They thought the same about De Jong too
