Are we really making judgments on any offensive player after only 29 minutes of 11 v 11?

Are we really making judgments on any offensive player after only 29 minutes of 11 v 11?
I like the way he rolls the ball under his boot.
Silky.
Silky.

Erik The Elephant - Chiesa Di Totti
Don't get me wrong I'm one of Erik's biggest fans but apparently he has a tendency to go missing in games/never grabs a game by the horns..
I think his certainly much stronger than last yr and in the next 2-3 seasons if he improves his consistency he could b one of the worlds best..
It's very very tough to say what impact he would have made if it had been 11 on 11, but I do agree that Lamela was a let down against the Spammers. There were times where I wasn't sure which side he was supposed to be playing on and then I'd see Eriksen or Lennon literally directly behind him or in front of him. The whole swapping thing works if players actually swap. Otherwise you've got a giant hole.
I think that he'll dominate QPR. Rio Ferdinand had a good game this weekend, but the competition wasn't especially difficult. Dunne looked terrible against Hull. I think over the course of the season Caulker will prove to be their best defender, and he's really the one I worry about the most.
It's my only real asset in indoor football the sneaky ball roll, doesn't accomplish Fuck all but I bet I look as sexy as Lamela doing it, I just imagine loads of fat people are watching replays of me doing it (roll ball) sitting on their armchairs and rewinding it back on sky plus to show their mother.
You must have a rocket of a right foot to hit the car park from indoors, I'm not too familiar with the wall situation in Yorkshire though.
I guess it is kind of a wall situation... As my 5 a side is out side.
I think Townsend and Kane deserve a start in front of Lamela v QPR, but if Poch sticks with Erik, can see the validity of that.
...we may have a winner!
The way the game played out will really benefit Lamela, for us it was shit to go down etc but for him to come on and be a game changer will give him a good bit of confidence.
Lamela was incredibly influential today. The ball to Soldado was a gem.
I just became pregnant to Coco. :lamelashock:
