Danny Rose is the best LB in the world.
Absolutely no need to recalibrate after some time out. Just straight back to those 10/10 performances.
Absolute nonsense. Lamela is our 2nd penalty taker. It was Son being selfish by not following Poch's rules.Lamela selfish cunt, stole penalty from Son and missed it could have been 3-0
I watched really hard today?come on now.we won today. don't be too harsh on him. Lamela played really hard today.

It was a poor penalty because their goalkeeper psyched him out by standing too one side, leaving a big space, before the actual penalty. This tactic makes the pen taker think psychologically think "I'll put it there because it's a bigger gap." Thing is, the goalie then moved over the middle so you have to outsmart the goalie and send it either the other way or down the middle. I'd have hit it down the middle. But to be fair to Lamela, the dispute with Son was not helpful for preparing your thinking. Poch will make sure that situation never happens again, thankfully.
he was alright in my book today, but he needs to stop thinking too much when the ball comes to him and just play quick team ball if not one of thesedays there will be a match or two he is going to cost the teamLamela put in his normal shift. Endless intensity on both sides of the pitch. If he makes the penalty, it's a MOTM type performance. Unfortunately he misses it, so he is shite. He can't win.
Absolute nonsense. Lamela is our 2nd penalty taker. It was Son being selfish by not following Poch's rules.
If Lamela had ''stolen'' anything Poch wouldn't have given him a positive pep talk after the miss, he'd have bollocksed him.
Unless, of course, you think during the season last year or 5 games into the season this year Poch suddenly made Son our 2nd penalty taker.
Son was out of order.
Absolutely astonishing the things people will pick on to have a pop at Lamela. Everyone misses penalties.
That said, my opinion is that Eriksen should have taken the penalty. He is our best spot kick taker.
He was absolutely incredible. I can't say it enough.
#I feel like Eriksen would absolutely destroy penalties. I feel like he would be smashing at the mind games
