Mauricio Pochettino admits Erik Lamela is unrecognisable from the player he was two years ago after the winger's hat trick helped Tottenham to a 4-1 win over Monaco.
"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."
I know this post is about lamela but i think we really need to give a big respect to Toby.What a player we have got never has he put in a bad game so far.COYS
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.
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?
