He is, but it's a huge question of when AVB will give him in a run of games starting in the league. I mean, the fact he didn't even play today doesn't signal that he's going to be going into the first 11 any time soon. I'm concerned about it to be honest, as I'm worried he'll see how well Roma are doing, and be a bit dissatisfied being a bench-warmer for us, even if it's a temporary tactic by AVB like Lloris last season.
Lamela will get his chance, I am certain that by the end of this season he will be starting regularly for us. He is still a kid who speaks no English trying to find his feet in a new country and a new league - AVB is easing him in gently which is the right thing to do imo.
