We definitely need to learn from this and target players with a similar profile to Lo Celso. Guys with some bite who will bust a gut and have fast decision making. Real pains in the arse for the opposition.Keeps proving he's our engine. We missed a chance to pair him and bruno together with a proper destroyer. That with Son and Kane, with lucas and bergwin and Gedson and skipp and sissoko and lamela and dele to rotate would have been one of the best midfields and attacking lineups in the league, if not the best.
We can still be pretty bad ass next season. Spend 200 million on our defensive line up like liverpool did with alisson and van djik (and later arnold) and we can soon be title contenders.
He will be a star I truly believe we can build around this kid
Lucas is far better as a sub. Makes a big impact.Gio and Lucas changed it today. Fair play to both.
Ya I like how this gets swept under the rug. Mou not recognizing Lo Celso's talent is depressing.See the above quote actually scares the shit out of me. Even in the little we initially saw of the lad he looked like a class player. I worry how Jose did not see it. It's not even as problematic or stop start as N'dombele (and by the way any half decent coach could fix him pretty quickly imho). Why did he not believe? I'm not going to tell lies the more I see us under him and more he talks the less likely I think we win anything or get any where under him
Why would he be in a "grey area " had he arrived in July. What's to get ? Gio, carries the ball, quickly forward passes, good feet, tenacious and brave in the challenge for a little bloke. Good vision.His attributes are obvious.Ya I like how this gets swept under the rug. Mou not recognizing Lo Celso's talent is depressing.
Class. End of.
One question. Who wanted him and who wanted Tanguy?. The answer to that solves the mystery of the “committee” v Poch.
I am no Poch fan boy. But it’s very possible Poch wanted Gio and the Committee used data analytics to pick Ndombele. It won’t matter much if they both come good, but..........I remember too well that Poch rant about only being the coach when we had signed Ndombele and not Gio at that stage. Could be 2+2 = 5 though.
I’m honestly not sure and not doing much more than speculating, I don’t recall if Poch was happy with Ndombele or not ( or especially vocal or not).I thought he wanted both one to replace Dembele and one to replace the leaving Eriksen.
In fairness if we get Ndombele fit (somehow) with Lo Celso playing so well we have pretty much done the job.
