I liked the Monaco manager's quote:

"We just couldn't cope with Tottenham pressing us so high up the pitch. It led to individual errors and all those early goals," Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim said.

"I would have preferred to have had a much more experienced side as we struggle against really top sides like Tottenham."

Lamela has always had the talent but I really wasn't sure he was going to settle in and apply himself. Now I think that's starting to happen. He's yet to make a big impact in many premier league games but there's no reason he can't do that in the second half of the season.

Well for starters, he's healthy and he's not being coached by Tim Sherwood.

We all know how long it took Bale to develop into the player he is today and it must be doubly hard for an Argentine with very little English to come to a new country and perform straight away. And Bale didn't have a 26M quid price tag hanging around his neck. Well done to him and maybe he plays up front more often?

Mesut Ozil is imposing himself on matches and has won the Gooners round .

Sorry but I just don't see Lamela becoming a consistent influence .

He's a bit of a Jenas player but ultimately offers less on a football pitch .
