Teams putting men behind the ball, being compact, blocking the passing lanes... All these show up what a truly limited football Erik Lamela is. Time and time again you see it. He's only good at finding passes when there's time and space to do so, and that isn't a particularly extraordinary skill. His assists are mostly later in games and padded out with the 2 or 3 goal lead assist, when the opposition has committed lots of players forward.
It's quite a long run of games now that he's started and we haven't been ahead after the 60 minute mark. We're wasting entire halves of football by starting him. Should have long since been moved on.
