Lamela

[jezz]

An absolute waste of space all game tonight.
Telegraphed almost every single pass he attempted.

who did better?

who did better?

Eriksen was better imo but not many more

Stats, got anything to back up your argument. Didn't think so.

The same stats that you have, the frequency with which he delivers these, and he games e does it in. His overall performance and his influence on the fluidity of attacks, and the number of stupid fouls committed. I am sure I could go on but you will just keep spewing the same defense and quite frankly people like you bore me.

He was toilet second half (I was playing 5 a side too missed first half - damn early kick offs) but so was everybody else

I have been accused of being over the top with my criticism of him. But he is diabolical.

 

[stemark44]

who did better?

Everyone else apart from Soldado was better.
Yes even Fazio and Vertonghen who gifted them two goals.

 

[nedley]

Starting to lose patience.

The fitness team seriously need to think about some strength training. Absolute fanny.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Do you think anyone has ever told him he's supposed to run AWAY from the defender?

Jesus fucking christ.

 

[Romspur 1962]

Please Please Please don't start him on Sunday

 

[Romulus]

ive had just about enough of this guy

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Jesus fucking christ.

Here we go, the Lamela fan club is here, all 1 of him.

I would

Is that it? Your argument is based on the match thread.
clutching at straws would be doing it a disservice.

Im just trying to canvas opinion old chap. I am beginning to wonder where your blind faith comes from.

does anyone on this site watch Italian football? At Roma was he able to actually beat a player 1v1? Or wer there other attributes to his game which he was bought for?

C'mon. Seriously?
Fazio was all over the place. A number of players were crap tonight and Lamela was far from worst.

 

[Mighty Spurs]

I think that he won't be a great success in the premiership. He suits playing in the *Lo Scudetto*, Italian League.

I think it's sad I'm being mocked for being a fan/supporter of a player.

Tell me one player that wasn't? When you lose, you lose as a team. Lamela is the whipping boy though, so I guess it is only fitting that he is singled out to take the blame for the defensive errors and Soldado's mistake, especially as he made that pass to him. Shocking really that he had the audacity to make such a crucial error in finding Soldado................

 

[YiddoTom90]

lamela lacks pace and that will always hold him back, you can compare him to early Ronaldo but Ronaldo got past players with his pace and he was quicker with his decision making, I was a fan when we signed him but hes been a major disappointment and I hate saying that about our own players

 

[sundanceyid10]

When he first arrived and he was caught on the ball all the time by opposition players, I thought it was coming from the italian league where there is more time on the ball, and he would learn that he wont get that amount of time on the ball in the english league. But it does not seem
to have corrected this, its insane how much he gets caught on the ball this added to the fact he is so lightweight when tackled its hard to see afuture for him in the premier league.

honest answer if we shipped him out and brought in Kono who would actually shed a tear

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Sorry guys, but I just don't see Lamela working out for us and I'll tell you why....

I just don't see him doing enough on the ball, yes I know he has some assists and goals but when he's on the ball I'm not seeing enough quality. Add to that his lack of explosiveness and I think he will continue to struggle.

Yea I know he works hard, but I'd rather he worked less hard and dos something more creative in the final 3rd. That's what we really need, I want him to successfully beat a man or play some key passes.

Whenever he has the ball I feel he is more likely to lose it than do something productive.

Hope he can prove me wrong but I've given up on him being an attacking force for us especially on the league .

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

He was poor, so let people vent there frustrations. What that poster said was hardly far from the mark and didnt deserve a "Jesus Fucking Christ".

 

[THFCSPURS19]

I think I've accepted that it will be difficult for Lamela to do well as a RM in the PL. However, I think our management needs to recognise that putting Eriksen on the left, and Lamela in the middle will bring out the maximum benefit for us.
