The proper and anally-retentive grammar would be "El caso curioso de Erik Lamela."

because overall eriksen has been a lot better in his overall contribution & influence. as well as scored a really good amount. way more than lamella.
you are too focused on your stats my friend. & even then, the stats back up that eriksen has been a lot better overall than lamella. if u think lamella has been better than eriksen this season then that's up to u!
I think your mad! you cant even compare there overall contribution & influence to this team this seasons.
oh & I just realised both erikson & lamella have the same amount of assists in the premiership! erikson just kills him on goals!

An in form Aaron Lennon
So, a player that hasn't existed in half a decade, if ever.
He never said Lamela was better than Eriksen. He did say he's better than Townsend, which is pretty clear, and he's been better than Lennon as well.
I am not sure why you're comparing players in different positions so eagerly. Eriksen has been great as a 10. Lamela hasn't been played as one. He's been played at right wing, and been better than anyone else we've tried there this year. That includes a long stretch of games with our right back options being Naughton, Chriches and Dier, which is not conducive to offensive production from any right wing player.
I would like to see him get a chance as a 10, to see how he would compare against Eriksen in the same role. At the moment, that kind of judgement can't be made.
The closest would be comparing Eriksen's games at left wing this year to Lamela's at right wing, to see who's better in a meaningless comparison of players in sub-optimal positions.

So you are saying that if Lamela passes to Chadli, and Chadli makes an assist, we are going to credit Lamela with a key pass?
What about the guy that passed it to Lamela...shall we bump up his stats too?
32 chances created? Thats fucking hilarious to say the least. What the stats dont do is define a "chance"...he passed to someone who had three defenders around him and couldnt get his shot off? Does that count?
In 2010/11, Modric got 5 assists in 44 games. I guess the stats prove Lamela is a better option in our midfield to you then.
Im starting to wonder if people are watching our games, instead of reading graphs
If ever? Maybe you didnt watch us under Harry Redknapp? Lennon then pissed on Lamela.
The problem with that is that Eriksen has never played left wing under Poch, and Lamela is never played at right wing. They are central attacking midfielders, who play across the whole front line.
Exactly...not sure why people STILL think we play wingers.
He sees something in Soldado, Townsend and Paulinho too...whats your point?
The manager is never wrong?
Our performances since beating Woolwich go against that somewhat
Poch would have been encouraged to do whatever he can to get the best out of Lamela and play him given the money spent on him, guaranteed.
For me, he lacks the pace to get away from his opponent and such is really struggling to get into positions where he is most dangerous (final 3rd/around the box), if you watched him play in Italy, this is where he was catching the eye and really contributing to games.
We don't dominate teams enough for him to concentrate on that side of his game, and personally, I am worried he will never really take off at Spurs.

What glorious insight. Please, do tell us more.
And this is my fear. History repeating itself. Beat Woolwich in February and then barely scrape together another 5 wins. Here we bloody go again...

It will feel terrible if we lose tomorrow at Wembley, but I dont think it will be doomsday.
I actually dont think our league form will reflect any kind of great, heroic victory should we pull it off. Quite the opposite. The norm for Spurs is not to follow a great scalp with a run of wins.
Didnt we lose to Hull a few days after beating Milan away..?
We dont thrive well on the wave of exstacy. A loss tomorrow might actually do us more favours in the long run, although Id happily take the cup and finish 8th.
For fuck sake ,on the eve of a final ,get a fucking grip,if not don,t be so fucking negative,and don,t come back with that realist shit .And this is my fear. History repeating itself. Beat Woolwich in February and then barely scrape together another 5 wins. Here we bloody go again...
