Given you an agree, but also think it may be a case of him being underVALUED, as opposed to underrated. I think people (sometimes rightfully) expect a better goal/assist output from him, which could be a case of people maybe overrating some of his abilities. But he offers so much value to the team with his effort and tenacity whenever he is called upon. Relentlessly hassles the opposition, creates stirs and situations that, while not counting as assists, often open the game up and result in opportunities for us to score/shoot. Definitely a José type player.
If I’m honest, I fucking love him. Never causes a fuss when not called on, ALWAYS gives his all when he is. Been tragically unlucky with injuries. Not at all what I initially expected him to be - and actually a strange sort of player, but one I’m very glad to have. Fibreglass and Wilshire moments, among other absolute shit-housery get him Yid status for me.
Burnley set the rules for the match last night then have the gall to complain when Lamela comes on and plays according to the rules.
Scared of a "bit of Latin" to paraphrase Souness.

Hmmmm....
My view is that he has found his place and seems content with it.
He is not good enough to start most games but he is proving to be that rarest of beasts (when fit) who seems willing to be a squad player.
His biggesr assets are opposition irritability and tenacity. He also always seems to give all he has.
Good on the bloke
Honest British toughness when their Brexit faves do it, sneaky Latin dirtiness when Lamela does it... go figure
I'm also loving the older boots he has been rocking recently, first when he was wearing two different ones and last night's black and orange F50's circa 2013.
The comments made about Jose bringing on Lamela instead of Bale were laughable.
Barnes in particular acted like a little bitch whenever someone dared step up to him.
He's almost 7 feet tall and ran away crying to the ref at every opportunity.

Lamela comes on against West Ham, we see out the game. He's an excellent closer.
His energy and work rate are excellent in these types of situations. He can also make things happen. I was more than a bit disappointed he didn’t get the chance to do to Barnes what he did to McNeil.
Sissoko had a go though!
