He's one of the reasons we are playing like shit. They know that Lamela/Townsend aren't going to do a fucking thing and as a result they can keep two on Kane and two on Dembele/Eriksen. If Lamela/Townsend had the regular beating of their man and could concern West Ham then there would be more space for the CAM and striker. Notice how our goal came right after Chadli came on and spaced out their setup. (For this reason I am confused as to why Walker/Rose aren't pushing further forward like usual).Think he's one of our better player's today to be honest. We're playing Like shit

He's trying hard, as always, and I'll always give him respect for that...but just not the required quality on the ball.
Poch decided to take off mousa andros and mason.
I don't think it was about saving them for next week either.
He was shit in the first half and ok in the second, no better than that.If you think Lamela is useless today you are just an idiot. Our movement is fluid with him. Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli are the best three behind the striker. The last 12 minutes where our best spell in the whole game.
Spurs were not shit like stupid fans always say when Spurs dont win. The effort of the team were good but Mason, Demeble and twonsend are not suited to Poch's style of play.
Playing Townsend today was a bad decision. He's rarely impressive in EL games, let alone PL games. But playing him on the right to put our one playmaker, in theory, in the AM at a disadvantage by playing him on the wrong side? Even worse.Lamela on the left just doesn't work at all - he's a fish out of water there and I never want to see him there again, but he showed again he can be decent playing on the right cutting in.

There were however players worse than him today. As a team we were poor
Who the hells cares about negs, he was fucking awful today, weak, giving the ball away, caught out endlessly. Neg away he was shite!Whoever fucking decides to fucking slate Lamela today, I'm going to fucking neg you into oblivian. Was one of the only players out there worth anything today, frankly. Disgusting that people wanna slate him again. Makes me sick the agendas people have.
