Oh dear, not this again.
We've been through the stats a trillion times and know that wrong.
Lamela isn't a secure option because of his injury record. Not his lack of assists.
I love Erik mate and of course he made two crucial interventions that kept us in the game. But he is a superb player who could do a lot more and he gave away the ball far too easily yesterday plus as was the case with all our midfield, he got bypassed far to easily by City.Goal and an assist - not sure what more he needs to do against Manchester goddamn City to be considered one of our better players.
For me, he had a good game.

Yep
Could easily have given them a penalty too
But the guy scored a great goal and took a corner
Did he use his right foot.
He never seems to click with the players around him, is the biggest problem as I see it. He seems to be a bit disconnected, not on the same wave length.
It took Sissoko two seasons.Struggling to drop himself down to their level.
He was often giving the ball away (like everyone else).
However, the position he took up plus the finish seemed to show what is possible from him if he plays in the just inside forward position if we play a 4-3-3 with him one of those 2 alongside a central positioned Kane.
Lovely finish and it doesn't seem often he gets into such shooting positions.
Do people think we have someone to do that from the other side of Kane? Not sure if Son is best there or in fact in the position Lamela shot from...
I’d be happy for him to stay as a squad player if he can improve his injury record. Don’t think his end product is good enough to start for us ahead of Son, Moura, Alli and Eriksen when he can be bothered. Don’t think there’s any chance he will leave this season especially with Eriksen potentially leaving in the next 10 days or so.
