Lamela is the last thing we need. Poch already puts out the slowest outfield spine in top 6 history: Eriksen/Winks/Alli/Dembele/Dier/Llorente are so collectively slow. And Lamela is slower than most of them.
Like I said last season, Poch’s only issue is he can’t spot that pace = the reason he’s spinning our wheels.
He’s completely oblivious to it. Signing Llorente and wanting to re-sign Siggy is proof enough.
While you all blame players, you should be applauding them. It’s amazing how good they have done with stupid tactics. I predicted way more injuries because I knew Poch would push them after results faltered as he’s not the brightest manager. He thinks hard work can break the laws of physics?
It’s a gestalt nightmare. Poch is bunching the slowest players in the league, on the second largest pitch in the prem, in the fastest league in the world?
Add Lamela and it will get even worse.
Our players are brilliant. I feel terrible for them. I hope Poch does not put Lemele next to Eriksen and Winks etc. His confidence is trashed as it is. He like Eriksen needs pace and power around him to thrive.
