Another great game from him. Another group of idiots slagging him off.
If we can bring in some quality MFers to play with him it would be nice. We need more players with skill, not less.
He's hardly a wizard with the ball at his feet himself is he?
He is great with the ball at his feet. Probably the player you most want to have the ball in the MF for our team.
Nope. That's Ndombele and Kane. And others being shit doesn't make Lo Celso better than he actually is. Or at least shouldn't do.
No Kane should be up front, we don't want him in MF we want him up front scoring for us. Its nice that he has the ability to drop back occasionally but that is not where he should be for us.
Ndombele and him are similar. I have no problem if you want to put Ndombele ahead of him.
I agree about Kane, but then again how many goals less would we have as a team and Son have himself if it wasn't for Kane playing deep at times?!
We'll have to agree to disagree on Lo Celso. I see someone who's tidy enough but certainly nowhere near good enough to build a team around. You see it differently.
Definitely not sold on him, if we could get decent money for him I’d be happy to let him go this summer, but if he pulls his finger out happy for him to stay and see how he ends up
I think if he was English he’d be getting a lot more stick than he currently is, doesn’t affect games at all at the moment

Exactly this. I've said before that if he didn't have a number of caps for Argentina he wouldn't be rated by some half as much. He's a decent player. But that's all he is for me.
Him playing for Argentina means nothing, especially with how poor Argentina currently is.
Well that's my point.
As someone has already said, if he was English I don't think he would get praised for so little half as much as he seems to be here. He really doesn't offer much more than Winks and yet the difference in stick they get for poor/average performances is staggering.
He was OK today, certainly a better midfield option than Ndombele because he can actually run around and get stuck in.
Still nowhere near a £40m player though. He plays the occasional slick pass but still doesn’t affect games enough. If you’re getting subbed off for Harry Winks after 65 minutes you aren’t doing enough.
I think the opposite, if he were English he would get a ton of praise.
He is light years better than Winks, he had 5 passes today Winks is too scared to even attempt let alone pull off.
The fact that you are trying to compare him to Winks says everything we need to know about your bias and is shocking to be honest.
That's fine with me. We have a noticeable shortage of decent players. We're still a couple of players short of decent first 11, so that puts him ahead of a lot of other players in the squad.Exactly this.
