Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[DaSpurs]

I think he was okay, great finish, but i really think playing him on the left is a huge waist, he never looks comfortable and, as with Eriksen playing right, still looks to cut in but then can only pass sideways or back. I really dont know what Poch is trying to achieve by doing this. I agree that he was probably also a bit rusty as he hasn't played a lot recently, but i think starting him left is never going to do him or the team any favours.

Yeah I've also been trying to wrap my head around Poch's increasing disposition to playing creative attacking mids in "traditional winger" roles. If his thinking is that it makes us any less predictable, improves the crossing game, and provides more width, then it's not working in any of those categories. Yeah, we're getting results regardless, and maybe Poch sees something I'm not, but I just don't get it as of now.

Are you thinking of Neil Ruddock?

Coco is now the joint 2nd top scorer in the Europa League

He might have a chance with so many competitors got knocked out last round.

On another note, Son is tied for first in assist in Europa.

I found it complexing as well, but I wondered if it was because poch wanted to keep Alli away from the Rb who he kicked out at.

Anybody want to take a stab at explaining why he was wearing blue rubber gloves underneath his winter gloves...?

Junior doctors like Lamela have to do any extra work they can get...even finding work as professional footballers.

Or maybe considering he was off with an illness recently, the club are being extra cautious and making him wear sterilised gloves to reduce the spread of any lingering bug he might have.

He got Ryan Mason's mum inked on his hands over the weekend.

That is the worst tattoo ever. Almost comical. He has to live with that for the rest of his life!!!! She looks disapproving as fuk, too.

Ah but Ryan wouldn't be able to see it except if he deliberately turns his arm in the mirror. Me thinks he got it done to stop gold-diggers in their tracks, no greedy woman can survive that disapproving stare.

Fucking love it:


Danny Rose was also anxious to avoid looking too far ahead on Sunday afternoon. But, after scoring the winning goal in the thrilling 2-1 victory over Swansea - which took Spurs back to within two points of leaders Leicester City and three ahead of Arsenal - he happily exposed his team-mate Erik Lamela as a firm believer in Tottenham’s title dream.

The left-back said: “I’d like to believe we can but I don’t want to think that… Before the Man City game I was having dinner with Lamela and I was still asking him if he reckoned we can finish in the top four.

“I’ve never seen someone look at me with such disgust. He said ‘My friend, we can win the league’.

Obviously never used to look at the crowd when he was jogging back (pre-Poch).

Nah he doesn't, you can get a decent artist to repair or re-do tattoo's easily enough. I am sure he can afford a decent one.
