Tanguy Nbombele has brushed off recent criticism from Jose Mourinho as he prepares for Tottenham 's clash with Red Bull Leipzig on Tuesday .

Mourinho hauled Ndombele off at half-time in the Premier League fixture , and laid into him after the final whistle .

I am not going to run away .
I have to say Tanguy has had enough time to come to a different level .

But a player with his potential , his responsibility , he has to give us more . ''
`` His performance was nothing short of a disgrace in terms of his effort off the ball , '' he said .

Analysing Ndombele's performance on Monday Night Football , Carragher concurred.
"His performance was nothing short of a disgrace in terms of his effort off the ball," he said.
"On the ball he was actually very good, but off the ball when I watched the game you can't believe what you're seeing."
It was not the first time Ndombele has been slammed by his boss in public, which caused some discussion between Carragher and guest pundit Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"Yes it was (justified)," Carragher added. "Again that is another debate and Sven is spot on that that will be the debate - do you do it in public or in private?"

Exclusive: Frankie Bridge, Sam Womack and Louise Minchin have opened about the perilous journey they endured in 40 degree hear through Namibia's desert
It wasn’t quite what they signed up for – and it was certainly a good deal warmer than expected. And while not one of them survived unscathed, it’s now become an experience they will not forget.
Particularly when they’re still finding sand in all the wrong places.
Seven brave celebs spent months training for a 100-mile trip across an ice lake in Mongolia for Sport Relief, until coronavirus fears forced a change with a few days’ notice to a 100-mile expedition through Namibia’s desert.
That meant swapping flat terrain and temperatures of minus 35C for the blazing 40C sunshine and the world’s highest sand dunes.
Now ahead of a documentary tonight, three of the volunteers, Frankie Bridge, ex-EastEnder Sam Womack and BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin reveal how the cycling and trekking pushed them to their limits.
“I don’t even like walking on sand to get a cocktail on holiday,” laughs mum-of-two Frankie. “So I really wasn’t looking forward to exercising non-stop for four days in the desert.”

thedailymirror--2020-03-10--Five Guys A Week branded 'wildest and cringiest dating show ever'

Just when you thought Love Is Blind was the oddest dating show yet , Channel 4 storms in with Five Guys A Week .
Complete with sobbing , eye-wincingly cringey moments and ego-bruised macho men , the C4 show is a treat .
As the title suggests , the programme involves five men moving in with a woman , who whittles down the list each day .
Tonight , the woman doing the choosing was Amy , who admitted that she `` got married at a time when she did n't really know what love was '' and was now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to offer '' .
`` If i really like them ill just send them to my bedroom , '' she joked .
Those fighting to be picked by Amy were banker Christian , consultant Glen , stuntman Michael , singer-songwriter Scott and professional surfer Trystan .
Awkward moments included Amy heading to a club with four of the men and snogging one of them in front of the other furious three , cringey guitar playing and crying over their parents ' romantic connection .
And fans loved it , with one tweeting : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ jaw is hanging open .

Channel 4's new programme Five Guys A Week has knocked Love Is Blind off the top spot for bizarre dating shows
Just when you thought Love Is Blind was the oddest dating show yet, Channel 4 storms in with Five Guys A Week.
Complete with sobbing, eye-wincingly cringey moments and ego-bruised macho men, the C4 show is a treat.
As the title suggests, the programme involves five men moving in with a woman, who whittles down the list each day.
Tonight, the woman doing the choosing was Amy, who admitted that she "got married at a time when she didn't really know what love was" and was now "looking forward to what love has to offer".

"If i really like them ill just send them to my bedroom," she joked.
Those fighting to be picked by Amy were banker Christian, consultant Glen, stuntman Michael, singer-songwriter Scott and professional surfer Trystan.

Awkward moments included Amy heading to a club with four of the men and snogging one of them in front of the other furious three, cringey guitar playing and crying over their parents' romantic connection.
And fans loved it, with one tweeting: "This show is astonishing. My jaw is hanging open. The decision to put the confession-cam in a garden shed was especially inspired #fiveguysaweek."
While another commented: "This is one of the cringiest f***ing things i've ever seen but it's so f***ing addictive, I must know who she picks now #fiveguysaweek."

A third quipped: "All of these lads seem to be on the verge of some imminent personal breakdown. There’s this feeling that any one of them could go on a murder spree because they can’t work the self-service machine at Tesco. #FiveGuysAWeek."
Another remarked: "I must know, how do I make friends with the lass who said "it's a special kind of w***er that gets out a guitar at a party *when no one asked him to*"? #fiveguysaweek."

EXCLUSIVE: Jon Venables, who with Robert Thompson, killed James Bulger in 1993 in Bootle, Merseyside, is back in jail at the moment for having images of child sexual abuse
The father of James Bulger fears his murderer Jon Venables will kill again, as the Parole Board prepares to consider freeing him.
In a hearing expected to be referred within weeks, the Parole Board will consider whether to release Venables, who with Robert Thompson, killed two- year-old James Bulger in 1993.
Both killers were just 10.

“If they don’t take this into account, they are failing to deal with the magnitude of how dangerous he is.
“He is a dangerous, predatory child abuser and killer and I am terrified he will strike again and harm another child like my James.”

James Bulger's murder shocked the nation James was abducted from the New Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle before being tortured and killed in a crime which repulsed the public. His mutilated body was found two days after his disappearance, on a railway line 2.5 miles away. The fact that the suspects were so young came as a shock to investigating officers and the public. Thompson and Venables were seen on grainy CCTV casually watching children, apparently selecting a target as they played truant. At 15.42 on Friday, February 12, 1993, footage showed them leading James away while his mum Denise was briefly distracted in a butcher’s shop. During their walk across Liverpool, the boys were seen by 38 people. Two challenged them but they claimed Bulger was their brother or that he was lost and they were taking him to the police. The boys led him to a railway line at the village of Walton, where he was tortured and killed. They were found guilty of murder later that year. They were released at the age of 18 in 2001.

Health minister Nadine Dorries is first MP to be diagnosed with coronavirus
Health minister Nadine Dorries is first MP to be diagnosed with coronavirus
Nadine Dorries first felt ill on Friday just a day after meeting Boris Johnson and his pregnant fiancee Carrie Symonds at a Downing Street reception. The Prime Minister later attended a Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey with the Queen
A Tory Health Minister in the UK government has tested positive for coronavirus, it emerged last night.
Nadine Dorries, the minister for Health and Social Care, first felt ill on Friday last week and is now recovering in isolation - but fears for her 84-year-old mother.
Urgent work is now under way to establish what contact Ms Dorries, the first British MP to be infected, had with people at the highest levels of government.
MPs called for Boris Johnson to be tested after Ms Dorries attended a reception with the Prime Minister on Thursday and was in close contact with hundreds of people - including at a constituency event in Mid Bedfordshire on Saturday before she self-isolated.
Among those at the Thursday reception were the PM's pregnant fiancee Carrie Symonds - and the pair then joined the Queen at a Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey on Monday.
Dignitaries at the Monday service including Her Majesty avoided shaking hands and pregnant women are not thought to be at worse risk from the COVID-19 virus.
The news comes as the Bank of England slashed the base interest rate from 0.75% to 0.25% this morning just hours before a Budget that will unveil measures to tackle the spread of the disease.
Last night the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK rose to 382, and a sixth death was confirmed.

Top ministers ignored questions on whether they'd been tested for the virus as they arrived at Cabinet this morning in 10 Downing Street.
Among those sitting round the Cabinet table was Ms Dorries' colleague, Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
Meanwhile Sky News reported that a member of Ms Dorries' Parliamentary staff may also be unwell. Parliamentary officials will meet again today to review the situation but the House of Commons remains open.
A UK Parliament Spokesperson said “We cannot comment on individual cases. We are closely following guidance from Public Health England in response to the situation and have been reassured that the measures we are taking are proportionate and appropriate.
"At present there are no plans to suspend Parliament. Changes to the way Parliament functions would be a matter for consultation between the Speakers, the Government and the Parliamentary Authorities.”

It is not known who infected the minister, who helped to draw up legislation to tackle the disease and has been working in parliament and the Department of Health and Social Care for the past week.
Ms Dorries said last night: "I can confirm I have tested positive for coronavirus. As soon as I was informed I took all the advised precautions and have been self isolating at home.
"Public Health England has started detailed contact tracing and the department and my parliamentary office are closely following their advice.
"I would like to thank PHE and the wonderful NHS staff who have provided me with advice and support."
The 62-year-old politician attended an International Women's Day event along with Boris Johnson on Thursday, the day before she fell ill, according to The Times.

She also attended a surgery in her constituency, which 50 people came to, on Saturday.
"Thanks for so many good wishes," she tweeted on Tuesday evening. "It's been pretty rubbish but I hope I'm over the worst of it now. More worried about my 84yo mum who is staying with me and began with the cough today. She is being tested tomorrow.
"Keep safe and keep washing those hands, everyone."
Following Ms Dorries' diagnosis, a Parliament spokesman said there were still no plans to suspend Parliament.
"We are closely following guidance from Public Health England in response to the situation and have been reassured that the measures we are taking are proportionate and appropriate," he said.
"At present there are no plans to suspend Parliament. Changes to the way Parliament functions would be a matter for consultation between the Speakers, the Government and the parliamentary authorities."
Ms Dorries' announcement came hours before more than 600 MPs pile into the tight-packed House of Commons chamber to witness Chancellor Rishi Sunak's Budget.
The Chancellor has said he will take “whatever action is required” to support the economy through the virus outbreak - with “targeted” support for public services, companies and workers.
Rumours suggested there could also be cash for the NHS.

Dorries has previously made headlines for reasons other than her political career when she appeared on I'm a Celebrity.
She found herself in hot water when she failed to declare her fee for the show and did not inform the Conservative Party that she would be on television.
Dorries was voted off the show first and was temporarily suspended by the Parliamentary Tory party.

thedailymirror--2020-03-10--Voice Of The Mirror: Coronavirus crisis shows toll of Tory austerity on NHS

The coronavirus crisis has shown us all that squeezing the life out of the National Health Service for a decade was a disastrous move by the Tories .
The health service is rising to a challenge of increasing tests and preparing to treat thousands and thousands of extra patients , its dedicated staff responding once again to a national emergency .
But the service would be in much ruder health had the reckless Tories not imposed the tightest straitjacket in its history .

We salute doctors , nurses and all the other workers who keep our precious NHS running .

The Tory revolt over the Huawei 5G internet deal shows that Boris Johnson is not as secure as he likes to make out, while the impact of decade of Tory rule on the NHS has become apparent with the coronavirus crisis
Voice Of The Mirror: Coronavirus crisis shows toll of Tory austerity on NHS
The coronavirus crisis has shown us all that squeezing the life out of the National Health Service for a decade was a disastrous move by the Tories.
The health service is rising to a challenge of increasing tests and preparing to treat thousands and thousands of extra patients, its dedicated staff responding once again to a national emergency.
But the service would be in much ruder health had the reckless Tories not imposed the tightest straitjacket in its history.
Lengthening waiting lists and ambulances and A&Es missing targets were alarm bells missed by a Government which seemed more interested in privatising services.

We salute doctors, nurses and all the other workers who keep our precious NHS running.
But Chancellor Rishi Sunak will not be telling the truth in tomorrow’s Budget if he declares the service will get the resources it needs.
And lost lives is the result.

That 38 rebels voted against the Huawei 5G internet deal, to slash the PM’s majority to just 24, might be a sign of trouble to come.
Former leader Iain Duncan Smith protested over the wrong issue – there is little evidence the Chinese company’s involvement is a security threat – but Mr Johnson is on notice.
If he mishandles the coronavirus crisis or the already-spluttering economy, Mr Johnson could be given a bloody nose in Westminster.
Saving grace
The greatest gift we can give is the gift of life – so stem cell donor Stefan Berens is a very special man for saving Jo Kelly and her baby daughter Phoebe.
If every one of us checks if we can join the Anthony Nolan register, we too might be heroes like the German economist – and who knows, our own lives may be saved one day.
