This is the type of game where I'm really going to miss Lamela.
We just don't have a player like him anymore - one that can get in the opposition's faces and rile up opponents to knock them off their game.
Dele used to be like that, but it seems the raw talent and aggression that he once had has been trained out of him.
Coco will be sorely missed - I know its rose tinted glasses and all that, but there is not one player in this team capable of geeing the crowd up like he did..... And VDV - he knew how to get the crowd up.
It's a struggle to identify with anyone in the current squad - they just all seem so beige.
