He really is something special, I think with the whole
Tanguy saga a lot of the attention has been taken away from him.
No fans of other clubs seem to know that Lo Celso is so talented and I think he is going to suprise a lot of those clubs this season.
I think I prefer it that way.Because a lot of other fans just look at statistics when not actually watching a player - and he hasn't really had that blow away game against a top club as of yet to be seen as a huge deal.
He only managed, what? 2 assists in the league last season with 0 goals and those assists came in the final few games of the season.
But he is hideously under the radar. You're right.
I can understand the reasons for taking him off for Ndombele as a like for like creative replacement as well as resting them for a busy week - but we really should have taken Winks off for Ndombele instead and really gone for it a bit more today, in my opinion.
Upgrade on Eriksen IMO
Not even close atm. Eriksen was good for 20 goal contributions a season. I’ll be surprised if Gio gets half that.Upgrade on Eriksen IMO

He's not even a similar player to Eriksen.
He definitely reminds me of early Spurs Modric - and if he can end up even half the player then we have one hell of a player on our hands.
Has that burst of pace, nasty streak, loves a slide tackle and his weight of pass is brilliant. All things Modric brought us. He's even under appreciated by opposing fans and pundits like Modric was (certainly for the first 2 years anyway)
Eventually I am sure he'll control and boss games like prime Modric did for us.
