So Jose has had another dig at the boy at his latest presser.
On the face of it, I think that Jose is being churlish to criticise the lad when Eriksen is still being applauded for his shit performances..as they are..erm ..not his fault..as he wants to leave....
I get that Jose is needing players to step up at a difficult time. Lamella he said, offered to play some part even when he wasn't 100%.
That attitude and commitment obviously goes along way with Jose.
But the digs and slight lack of compassion where N'dom is concerned is a bit worrying.
Jose, by telling the press, to ask N'dom if he is frustrated at his form/injury is basically telling everyone he doesn't bother speaking to a guy, who is currently our most expensive signing ever.
Jose has cmade ripples when there was absolutely no need to.
Its eerily reminiscent of the Pogba situation he had at United.
On the other hand, we dont know whats going on behind the scenes.
N'dom may be taking the micky and is being an total arse about things.
He was, after all, Mopos man.
Contrary to what people said about Pogba being a good lad and Jose being in the wrong at the time, I know that when Mrs S had to do some filming with him over a few days she confirmed that he was indeed a utter horror to be around and was in dire need of a slap - not an arm around him. Some of the other people who had worked with him had all had similar experiences.
So was Jose wrong to call him out from time to time?. He certainly lost that battle - but you cant say that United have gotten the player he is supposed to be.
Time will tell I guess. But it doesn't seem to have started well between Jose and another french wonderkid..
