Lamela was probably our best player the little time he was on. 2 Great chances himself and an extremely nice set-up for deles chance... Always works his socks off, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was included om the starting 11

Do want to see him more confident in front of goal though.

It will come with game time but I wasn’t confident he’d score either of his chances.

Not bashing him, I thought he was great! Just my opinion

Don't talk shit.

How was Eriksen anything like a slinky winger? Lamela hasn't even lived up to Chadli.

Lamela's reputation was as a wide player, cutting in, very skilful, scoring 15 league goals for Roma. That's near to what we paid £25m for.

Not a bloke with about 10 times more yellows than goals.

The more he is acerbically defended, as was Gomes, more obvious he will be back in Italy next year.
You do realise he scored 11 and assisted 10 in 2015 to 2016 season right?
Only Kane scored more and Eriksen had one more assist.
Then got injured in 2016 and is just returning now.

In the current squad we need an Eriksen backup a lot more than we need a tricky winger now that we have Lucas and Son. What’s the problem with Lamela being a central, creative player (who had a positive impact on the game today, by the way).

Sorry you are not allowed to give Dembele less than 9 today... He basically ran the game and dominated Ozil, Miki and Wiltshire a man against boys!!
Sorry, but that is utter nonsense.

Mk was utter garbage. Dembele had nothing to do with that. If that's your swap for Sanchez, you definitely have been robbed.

The pressing and organisation of the team meant that the other two were marginalised. That allowed Dembele to be on the ball, although I felt he didn't use it as well as he could.

Plus, Wiltshire is a county, not a football player.

For all the talk of Wilshere being this great midfielder (I’ve never witnessed it), why isn’t Dembele held in such esteem?

He is probably the most overrated player I can think of in the last 10 years. He is ok but nothing more than that. Makes me laugh when you hear some in the media talking like Wilshere would walk into any team in Europe.

Yeah, positive, as expected, but more of a David Howells than a David Ginola.

He's not in that range of an Eriksen. Nothing of the control, vision, finishing...none of it.
