That conk!Di Maria....
Absolutely. Injury issues have been frankly alarming, but he has great ability. Could be a massive player for us this year.I think you guys are really unfair on Lo Celso. When he’s been on the pitch I can’t recall him playing poorly. Sometimes he hasn’t excelled but he’s never been shit.
We’ve got to find the best position for him and hope he has an injury free run, but he has always played well. He is no Winks or Sissoko.

He can be excellent at times, but when he's not on his game he's really not worth having on the field. Massive year for him, I'd be looking to move him on if he can't make a big impact for us this year.Tried hard to impose himself on the game, but was pretty sloppy and all over the place. Same story as Sess, but Lo Celso ought to be at a higher standard.
We need him to come good, he has attributes this team desperately needs.
I'm going to stick up for him. A month ago he was playing with Messi and Lautaro. Now he's got Winks next to him. It's an insult that he was even played in this shit and i've seen enough of him to know he can play football.Tried hard to impose himself on the game, but was pretty sloppy and all over the place.

But if you sleep with dogs, you'll catch fleas. He's sunk to the level of the garbage around him.
Anyone can look good if they are being carried by Messi.
As one of the most experienced players in that side tonight he should be showing some leadership
None shown. No skill shown couldn't be bothered.
Has shown up to play for about a dozen games in 2 seasons for Spurs. Often injured.
So far an appalling playing record for Spurs, just needs to decide he wants to be a professional player and play for the club who paus him, not just turn up for Argentina. Last chance saloon for him
He wasn't carried by Messi if you actually watch the games, but I guess that is an easy narrative to throw out there to try and slag a guy for no reason.
As for showing up for Spurs, for large parts of the Covid season he was by far our best player.
I have zero issue replacing him with a better player or even one who can stay healthy but we are lacking so much in terms of passing and creativity in the MF to give up our best or 2nd best (depending on what you think of Ndombele) player when it comes to these things is very risky.
We need more players of Gio's skill and until we get them in I don't see the point in getting rid of him.
Because of one game? He's had more good games than bad games for Spurs and it's not even close. Good God we're starting to sound like Woolwich fans...I would say, get rid. Enough is enough.
