No doubt, but considering he's going through probably the most difficult adjustment a player can in England (league, style of play, pressure, language) and his lack of matches both last season and early on in this one, I think it's fair to give him a bit of a mulligan.
I think he's had that to one seriously generous level already, no excuses from August.
I agreed cos I like the word mulligan.
Sure. Though if he plays as he has, he'll be a useful player for Spurs. If he plays as he has and reduces his turnovers, he could turn out to be our second or third most important attacker next season.
He has only showed a few more glimpses of promise, we need a lot more and far more end product.
We need that from everyone -- highlighting Lamela, our leader in assists, as the main issue/one that needs to show more or leave is just scapegoating. He's progressed in his second season. I'm excited to see what he can do in his third. It doesn't happen all at once.
There is a quote function for such a situation, you know.People that use the words "take-on"
Personally I have a high opinion of the elegance of the expression "take-on". The perfect economy of prose which it illustrates must surely be commended
Issues above Lamela:
- The 5th worst defense in the league, behind only QPR, Newcastle, Villa and Leicester.
- Having 1 striker
- Getting a squad which can be rotated
- Getting Eriksen to be more consistent
- Right Back
- Lack of competition on the wings
Chill. You will give certain folk on here a priapism that will make us all shambolic.
Well put
It's like driving a car with no wheels and complaining that the windscreen wipers dont work.
How do you drive a car with no wheels?
Did signing for Spurs cause you to start flapping the ball in the net constantly like an arse-clown?
Convinced he'll come good next season. After last season's write off I was willing to give him this one as an adjustment season and it looks as if he's turning a corner lately.
7 assists (Hazard got one more) playing at nowhere near your best in your first full season in the Prem, considering you haven't started all the time is nothing to turn your nose up at.
2015/16 = Year of Lamela
