Its not just the goals against we have created zero chances and are clearly the 2nd best team out there.
Lamela, Alli and Moura have also been our 3 worst players out there and with 2 of them likely to be starting for us that should be concerning.

I agree, lacking aggression. I don’t want to make excuses for him as there has been enough over the past year but to be fair the guy has just recovered from covid and is also playing his first minutes since the 45 against Bournemouth earlier in the year.
Beef House!Can't wait for Lucas to start on the opening day.

And we are?Uh 2-0... Watford aren't even fielding their strongest xi
as much as I've tried to support Lamela (and I've critizised Moura as well), I have to agree.
Lamela is essentially slower version of Moura that has worse shot on him as well
. Just hogging the ball and slowing us down. Would be up to see him sold and taking chance of someone new even say for 15-20 mil range. With him we have guaranteed mediocrity even though he works and tries hard.
We're literally missing 8 starters.
Why people melt at friendlies, I'll never know.
I think with the ball he has been by far our best midfielder, especially early on. I liked that he constantly looked to move the ball forward while everyone else was constantly passing it back.
Didn't bust a gut out there, which at this point seems to just be what he will always do, and I thought halfway through the half he seemed to get a little tired of constantly passing forward only for it to be passed back right away but that is likely me reading too much into his body language.
In a very uninspiring half for Spurs I would say he or Son were our best player. There is certainly something there with him but he does leave you wanting more even when he is making nice plays. I would like to see him try to take over a little more and boss the game since the rest of the team seem happy to just go through the motions.
If there was a trophy for melting we would win it!
With the fixture list we have, Lamela will be playing in important matches - unless we upgrade in the remaining weeks of TW
Just play him as a #10 and have him feed Harry and the wide-players....
PEH / GLC
SB / TN / Son
Kane
SB / TN / Son
Kane
....Then just firm up for the toughest games as required.
Why will he?
Over who?
Lucas, Bergwijn, Dele and Son should all be ahead of him, no?
Lloris, Doherty, Alderweireld, Davies, Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Bergwijn and Kane all walk into this team.
A shame we couldn't have all available for today ready for next week.
