Overall a very good performance, we were very very good for the first 25 mins and the last 25 mins. We do need to take our chances though when we are on top, could of cost us today.

"Lamela has no pace and holds on to the ball too long"

Oh.
'You dont bring Lamela on when youre looking for a goal. You bring him on when you're looking to hold onto a lead.'

Wise words from an earlier poster :cautious:

Edit. Sorry @scat1620 I see you already made light of your post (y)

He's only coming 19 in May ffs, he might fare better in a decent side, but I do think that price is ridiculous for him.
Yeh the bloke has been very overhyped. The reality is he is a very good teenager, but not yet a world beater. Also stylistically sessengon is more effective than exciting. He has good technique, makes good decisions and is very composed in crucial moments but is not gonna take players on all that often. Thing is I'm really not convinced he is a winger, I'd like to see him play behind the striker as his career develops.

Funny that Trips had to score a World Cup screamer for his free kick/dead ball delivery to be noticed. You'd think if he's that good in training Poch would've given him the nod a lot sooner.

Who said that?

He's probably the most one-touch pass player we have, always shifting the ball quickly.His first touch is always in to space too.
In the past, he has been known to dwell on the ball. I thought that began to change last season though.

If we can stay healthy - there is quality depth, and players will be pushing each other for minutes.

I think we could have kept the 5 at the back if we had taken Davies off and brought on Rose.

The biggest issue was in CM.

Dier doesn't get enough tackles in and lets players go past him far too easily.
Eriksen runs around a lot but is cowardly in his closing down/tackling. His failure to close down the cross for the goal being an example.

And yet again poor by Lucas :X3:

I have such high hopes for him this season but doubts are creeping in already.
For you people d'oh ing and WTF-ing this post post-match, made after seven minutes I might add, I have little but praise for Lucas after how he shrugged it all off and produced a great display in the end. Doubts very much expelled.
