I wish we’d just be pumping minutes into Lo Celso. He might not turn out to be the answer but there’s more chance of him improving than there is of this lot improving out of the blue, after 12 months of dross.

I’d prefer to see him play shit in the hope he can improve than watch a load of these plodders ambling around.

I have seen a lot of Gio over the last two seasons. I personally believe he could be the answer in time. The kid is very creative and scores. But we will never see that if he does get time on pitch to adapt and adjust. As a fan base we should give him time but it's all pointless if he doesn't play.

Come on Sess. Can’t see him being a winger if he doesn’t do anything offensively when he has the ball. Just passes it sideways or backwards.

What do you expect? The young padawan is learning from the yodas of parallel passing...Dier, Toby and Jan.

Interesting to hear Jenas saying about the number of touches we are taking and that Dele keeps making good runs but not being found which I think explains the sulking from him.

I like Moura but there are a lot of things that have been made Poch right since he left... its like 'ahhhhhhhhh Poch was right' type thing. Not goign to blame Jose the same way I wasnt blaming Poch but the players just simply arent that great (although i dont thinkt he tactics have helped too much).

Yes. There a lot of things that have been proven right since Poch has left...

- Moura should be a squad player.
- NDombele isn’t fit enough to be a regular starter
- Vertonghen is on the decline
- Dier no longer has the mobility to play CM
- Lo Celso needs to be phased in slowly
- The squad needs a painful rebuild

Shame we had to go through a sacking to prove him right.

I would like to see Parrott on. We keep playing it around their penalty area but when a ball goes in no-one gets on the end of it

But he has never gone past a player. I have been watching him as long as Spurs and I have never seen him ever go past a player. So don't know what people were expecting.

That's what struck me from watching fulham highlights/games and why I never got the hype. He seemed a finisher of moves not a creator of them.

He's so young though so hopefully he can add a lot more to his game.

The only silverware mourinho will be touching this season, is the chrome door handle to his office after he’s kicked it off in anger after rewatching that dogshit 1st half tomorrow

Dele is infuriating, ridiculously overrated

Infuriating is the word he is clearly talented at some things but his deficiencies are magnified by our poor form. He has no pace, can’t hold the ball under pressure, dives or falls down a lot and his passing is generally woeful
