Always thought he should be on the first 11 team sheet. The shape doesn't look right when he is not playing. Lamela is one of the few players that will link the play and make runs in behind to make space for Eriksen/Kane. I think when he is not starting, he is a perfect back-up and super sub, who can bring new energy to the team. More passion than anyone on the team!! He plays very well and he should be rewarded for it, maybe he can score some more goals. Let’s not forget that he would have had a hat trick in that leister game if his first goal wasn’t called an own goal.

He should start too, the season he played almost every game, he was fit and the pressing he provided in the front was crazy! He works hard and loves the club as much as we all do. He needs to start for them, I feel like I could say the same for son, however, they both play amazingly when they are subbed in. Poch typically knows best so I’ll let him hold that down.I've always said he needs more game time. Go watch his run and assist for Kane's goal in August. Such a great Player. He is a starter! I think he just had a lot of problems with injuries but now he is ready, I am sure he will be the big this year. He has the genius and flair.
