When we play/played possession football, pushing opponents back into their third he is/was always less effective. Best season came under Conte iirc. His minutes on the pitch and goals were always less under Poch, for that reason.

Maybe, maybe not. Tel has been awful for most games he played for us so there is absolutely no reason to hype him, like we would be missing a great player. What has Tel done that makes you think he's such a key player all of a sudden?
Bandwagoners.
Somewhere else hopefully.*
And I say that as someone who has often pointed to his limitations and wished we'd cashed him out sooner but who thinks he's been overly criticised this year when he's actually provided more to the team than someone like Kulusevski who has supposedly been "great".
Or maybe, just maybe, some supporters would like a bit more of a look at a promising 19yo player who's already shown more character than most this season. A number of people here also seem to discount the benefit of momentum in footy, and what that can do for performance & confidence.
He looked completely lost in his first few appearances, but there's a lot of (negative) pressure coming into the best league as a teenager, especially when we've been so poor. Let the boy play and see what happens.
