I liked Erik Lamela before it was cool

[Spurs7891]

He missed an absolute sitter in the World Cup final 4 years ago, which they ended up losing. He also missed a penalty in the Copa America final IIRC?

The fact is, Higuain missed goal scoring chances for Argentina in the 2014 World Cup Final, 2015 Copa America Final and 2016 Copa America Final.

Higuain must be the only player in football history to have wasted goal scoring chances in 3 major Finals. He is easily the biggest bottler in the world football now but annoyingly we let him score 3 goals against us in the CL. Argentina are really stupid for still keeping him in their squad. Lamela will be more useful for Argentina than Higuain.

You saying they should play Lamela as a CF?

I think Lamela will do a better job than Higuain in any position.

Interesting point of view...

A kick on Fabregas after calling Wheelchair a fudging pussy. If he doesn't get player of the season, there is no justice.

Had a fexking great game

Sky raising the prospect of retrospective action. Which means it will be looked at.

What for? The one on Fabregas? There's several challenges each week which you could look back on and decide that the ref should have made a different decision....and its not that the ref wouldnt have seen the challenge, he just didnt see a foul

 

[Gazza]

Does so much that some just can't see

 

[Briddo1882]

I though he was brilliant today, back to his best form.

 

[Gazza]

His little flicks and tracking back have been a joy to watch. Very neat in tight spots too.

 

[milo]

He's come back from this last layoff with so much hunger, he is playing every game as if it is his last. I think that there is another level to come from him.

Yes that one. I totally agree with you.
Just Sky setting the agenda.

 

[NaijaSpurs]

I just think it shows the measure of the man for him to rediscover this kind of form after being out so long. I sincerely hope he signs a new contract in due course

 

[StephenH]

He looks fitter now than before his injury imho

He was wonderful today! In all senses!

10/10 for Lamela today. It was an 8/10 but standing on that little weasle and then getting sneaky little kick in on his head all in one motion was world class.

The footballing equivalent of multi-tasking.

He must've been very good today, it's taken Jurgen a long time to think of something to criticise him for.

Well I’ve been critical of him, particularly against bus Parker’s

Today though he was excellent IMO and was as good as we have seen him for some time
