Lamela

Fucking hell mate. He plays for Worcester. Lamela cost 30m. Tough fucking crowd!

Does that mean we should regard a tap in from a player in a team like Worcester to be amazing?

Its not a tap in is it? And of course Lamela's was better, but he's not a part timer os he? Lighten up bud.

Lighten up bud.

Racist.

 

[Mr Pink]

Needs to play centrally.

I'd stick with the same team as yesterday and rotate Lamela with Kane over the festive period.

Still early days to be honest, need to stay patient,

Lamela is one of the few players that seems to press, harry and yet never seem to force a mistake and instead usually gives away a free kick. That's not smart pressing, that's running abaaat a bit.

He can be taught to do it better

I know this is a joke, but sadly that's what many of our fans think.

As soon as Lamela came on the performance became chaotic. He's just not for Spurs or English football, needs to be sold as a matter of urgency.

Nothing to do with Everton piling forward in the final part of the game to try and get something from the game?

That should've played into our hands. He couldn't hold/utilise posession with 2 players back

Oh the boo boys, where even when Solado scores they need to find their second favourite target, who wasn't even on the pitch for the majority of the game. Just proves that some fans prefer to boo than to cheer, so rather than revel in victory they would prefer to come on to the forum and spend far more of their time trashing a player who only had a short cameo.

 

[Kendall]

Get a grip. Its not being a boo boy to discuss weaknesses in his game.

Naturally you ignore the praise on Davies, Mason, Bentaleb, Kane and Lennon in your assessment.

Yeah and what? You know who else has really been crap this season...Jenas.

He is definatlely the new jenas even the basic rudiments of the game like which direction to run in allude him

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

He didn't start as a 10 though? If Dier can out pace people that way surely Lamela can?

Just because he doesn't start there doesn't detract from my point..

 

[Lufti]

Just because he doesn't start there doesn't detract from my point..

Your point was that he has and always will be a no. 10?

Look at the title of the thread.
Most of the other threads and posters praising the team and discussing the game have mercifully been Lamela-free.

Lamela's was better. That player has time to control the ball and his rabona was a bit shit.

No way, Lamela's already had the speed on it from the ball, that guy's shot was technically harder - to get the perfect lob over the keeper like that was impressive

Could that be because he was the only one pressing, so the opposition player had lots of options, meaning Lamela was more inclined to make a challenge (that he was unlikely to win) so not to waste the effort? Pressing and harrying only works if several players do it in unison, as the other players have to close down the options.

Think about it on a simpler level- what's more difficult: Controlling the ball and then shooting from long range or having a long shot first time without controlling the ball.

Thought Kane set up one of our goals with his pressing on sunday.
