Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

[EQP]

I’m super impressed with this guy. Oozes class

Amazing player, glad to him see get 90 minutes. There were moments where he was practically begging for the attacking players to make runs so he could try and play a penetrative pass. I think he's definitely on the same wavelength with Bergwijn and Aurier not so much Dele and Lucas.

 

[rossdapep]

Don't think he was at his very very best. However still put in a good performance, so that tells you how good he really is.

Think he could be as valuable as Modric and Dembele were.

 

[spursfan77]

Another wonderful game. He could be our new Modric playing in that position. I know it’s not his favourite place on the pitch but I think it’s where he will have to play in England.

 

[Shadydan]

Good player, settled in really well - a gem.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

The guy was absolutely blowing out of his arse at the end of the game and still demanding the ball. Special player.

I think Modric played a very different role, a very unusual role for the Prem, largely because he didn’t have the physical side to his game to play a normal CM role. I think Lo Celso can take a more mainstream CM role, but just be very, very good at it, if he wants to.

I don’t think he was demanding the ball. I think he stood at left wing hoping they’d all just leave him alone, but the bastards kept passing to him...

He was, however, definitely blowing out of his arse.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I don’t remember him but dad compared him to Micky Hazard when I rang him after the match.

The Gaucho Gunslinger

 

[JCRD]

I'm not gonna go with the hyperbole but he is a very classy player. Like a rolls Royce type player. Classy

He is the assist the assister type player

 

[daryl hannah]

If we can get more transfers right, like Bergwijn and this guy, then the future's bright...

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I don’t remember him but dad compared him to Micky Hazard when I rang him after the match.

Hmm, interesting comparison. I had great hopes for Hazard, but he wasn’t a great athlete. Similar skills and attitude, though.

 

[arunspurs]

It has taken few months..I think its fair to say, Lo Celso has completely won over manager & fans and is probably one of the few who are now automatic starter in XI

Today, he was in his 2nd gear but still the best player on the park. He has so much more upside in his game , left to be seen

 

[Bobbins]

One of those players who you just want to see as much ball as possible every game.

Like the anti-Dele.

 

[pffft]

What's interesting looking at that list is a reminder as well that I think all of those players except Modric had a long term injury in their first season - as did Lo Celso and Sessegnon this year.

I'm pretty sure Modric broke his leg in his first season with us.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Comfortably the best player on the pitch and I don't even think he was bang on it today. He has so much upside. Unlucky not to have two assists today from CM (Son disallowed goal and Kane's left footed chance). So much upside. He showed at Betis he can score goals, if he can bring that here he will be world class.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Uhm this guy oozes class there’s no simple explanation you just fkin know

 

[ClintEastwould]

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

The way he carries the ball away from danger by predicting how the opponents are going to move...unbelievable.

Brings much needed quality to our side
