I really like him so dont take this as me saying he is shit but I look at the likes of Bruno and wondering why does GLC not have any goals or assists in the PL? Is it because we really arent playing to his strengths (which ive been harping on about in my view) or because we are overrating him?
Lo Celso plays as a 8 and Bruno as a 10.

Because he is playing too deep. Bruno is playing as a number 10 and has the freedom to his game. Gio needs to be our number 10 and maybe just maybe his stats would be up there

And perhaps that's what I mean by saying Jose doesn't make best use of our players. I agree though and think glc would be juat as good... But kinda annoying

GLC will be fine. He’s a really nice player. He doesn’t have the cutting sharpness that Bruno has in attack, but so be it.

We were willing to pay 80M for Dybala last summer. When that fell apart we should have paid the 50 for Bruno. He’d have been the spark we needed.

Hopefully we‘ll get a DM, or even a DM like substance and that will free GLC up a bit.

Bruno is also playing in a much more confident and functional team. He was the final piece of the puzzle for them. GLC is playing deeper than originally planned and is basically carrying the whole team on his back. You just can't compare them fairly right now.

I don’t think Jose thinks that’s his best position but he’s probably the best player for that position at the moment, going forward I’m sure he’ll be further up

The whole team is playing deeper under Mourinho. Fernandez usually gets the ball going forward 30-40 yards from goal. Gio usually gets it half way into our half with our attackers on the half way line.

GLC is great and comparing him to Fernandez is pointless. Different players.

Bruno is amazing though, and we were, as usual, idiotic not to buy him.

I am so done with Spurs. The last two years, in terms of development of the side, have been utterly negligent. From where we were, we are truly pathetic now.

There is still a chance to amend the Bruno signing and that is either go all out and buy Ruben Neves for 50m or buy Ruben Neves clone Morgan Sanson for 30m .. I think If we can line up with Hojberg/Sanson in a midfield 2 and let GLC dictate the game at number 10 role, and have a workhorse fullbacks on both sides, we will be solid !!

And pls don't ever try to play Sissoko at midfield from next season. He is a right winger at best, either use him there or not ....

I think gio with skip behind him and ndombele is th he way forward
Agree, Skipp may be inexperienced but he's the only No. 6 in the squad. The season is over so we may as well give our young players runouts, they'll at least show the desire that has been lacking from the senior players. All the moreso when they play positions of desperate need. Might as well chuck Skipp at DM, Sessegnon at LB, and Gedson at RB in and see how they do.

Lo celso is just a hard working water carrier. He is no where near the class of eriksen and offers very little guile going forwards.

I think he is suited to a deeper lying role. But play him with players on His level such as ndombele who know a one two or bergwijn who can run off the ball and he will show what he has.

I'm not going to blame any of our front four tonight. The centre midfield two are not playing balls between the lines which means are play slows down and we start passing it side to side.

People keep saying we need one new Midfielder.I would argue we need two as even if Tanguy ends up proving himself we still need better then Winks and Moussa as the next option.

Moussa didn't make any runs today, just held his position and winks just went sideways, so negative, we have to be braver. I understamd N Dombele not playing but we need something like him and then Lo celso can get it further forward

I love him he’s an absolute prick with a bit of class quality and drive!

Him Lamela and Dele May be actually quite hilarious on away days!

If you throw Eric in as well we have a bit of a prickily few there!
