    Lloris- 6 Royal - 3 Romero - 4 Dier - 4 Reguillon - 3 Ndombele - 4 PEH - 4 GLC - 5 Dele - 2 Son - 4 Kane - 2 Skipp - 6 Bryan - 4 My concern is how vulnerable we look, we have pretty much been outplayed every game this season. No control in the midfield. Defence has looked ok a few of the...

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Crystal Palace (A)

    That was brutal to watch. We lost 3-0 at Brighton a few seasons ago, I thought that was bad but this was way worse. Moura was the only player who put in a performance. Please don’t ever play Skipp, Hojberg and Winks together Nuno, thanks

    Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

    2 years too late. Should’ve been sold after the 18/19 season. Could’ve got money back we bought him for which would’ve been amazing business. Still though, I like that Paratici/Nuno have spotted the clear weaknesses in our squad. We don’t necessarily need to replace these guys, getting rid of...

    I was just curious to know who the usual suspects were compared to Lucas who I take you feel gets off Scot free for his poor performances?

    Can we not be so cryptic and say what you mean, which usual suspects?

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Yeah sorry but I feel you’re just clutching at thin air. If you want to celebrate mediocrity go ahead. You’re making out like his performance the other night was like Bales hatrick at the San Siro. Lamela is not our match winner, he’s not our game changer, he’s a guy who generally gives his all...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    I did say the Bale money, what’s your point? Eriksen improved us, I don’t believe Lamela did though. What do you mean when you say all other signings? My point again is that I feel the majority of the signings since the Bale money has been disproportionately bad. We’ve improved yes, we were in...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    I see a very average footballer. Kane got his chance in the league through his Europa league goals I seem to recall, that and Soldado’s poor league form. But Kane has gone on to be a world class striker and our main man. Son was a bit of a slow burn, but he took off after his second season. Kane...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Which recruitment specifically? Soldado? Lamela? Capoue? Fabio? Stambouli? Njie? Sissoko? Jansson? Sanchez? We’ve made some great signings, Toby, Eriksen, Dele (at the time), Son and Wanyama to name a few however it’s been more miss than hit...i don’t disagree we’ve progressed to the point where...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Are you just looking at stats or what they actually represent. Look at the goals he scored that season. The majority were in the Europa league. The other goals were in games either already won or lost. I think maybe one was a goal that actually affected the result of the game. Great technical...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Hardly a glowing reference speaking about his performance in a game we lost. My take on Lamela is based on his 8 years with us not one game where he played decent which we lost.

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    I just find it’s a little naive to say stuff like this when footballers have been proven to be so fickle. I may be cynical but I feel his injuries is as big a reason as any for why he’s still with us now.

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Again I get the point that he gives 100% and that is admirable but his quality makes his work rate pretty ineffective. I feel the recruitment over the last 8 years since Bale left for Madrid could’ve been so much better and transformed our squad into legitimate consistent Top 4 contenders for...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    He took his goal well and was lively last night, we lost though and conceded 5 goals in the process. Work rate and effort is great but if the quality isn’t up to scratch it really doesn’t matter. That’s the point I at least was trying to put across on my comments about Lamela. I don’t know what...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Stats can be very telling but I'm afraid I believe you've just wasted however long it took you to pull this information together. Out of boredom, I checked his stats for 15/16 which he hit the 10g/10a, as I suspected the majority of the goals were scored in the Europa League , a tournament that...

    The way he ran through the Albion midfield and defence was rapid. He’s shown his pace is unmatched on a number of occasions. I know it’s historical now however his first goal against Ajax was the best example of how rapid he is, don’t even think Son could’ve latched onto the ball the way Lucas...

    I’ve always liked Lucas and felt he’s hasn’t had a fair shake at times. One example was starting Dele over him in the CL final. When he’s on it the way he can ghost past players with his turn of pace is unplayable. Yes he could be more clinical with his distribution and finishing but all things...

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    His work rate is admirable and he can win us a crafty FK. Best thing he’s done for us was the penalty he won at Anfield 2018 in the 2-2 game. You can talk about injuries and run of form but in almost 8 years at the club he’s hardly progressed has he?

    Jose Mourinho

    I agree but ultimately as we now know it’s the manager who becomes the scapegoat when results don’t happen. Even being diplomatic it’s hard to argue that Josè is doing a good job. I’m not saying the results would be much different if we binned him and brought in the next manager. I just feel a...
