I have to admit that the only times that I've seen Lo Celso play have been for us, so I know next to fuck all about him. However, the general consensus here is that he is a central midfield player - an '8' or a '10'. So I'm confused.
Today Mourinho played Sissoko, who he has already said isn't a central midfielder, in a central two with Dier. If he had played Sissoko wide right - probably a better position for him - then Lo Celso could've played in front of Dier. Maybe not his best position, but at least central; and Sissoko would have helped out KWP, so the 'defensive organisation' would have been better.
Alternatively, he could have played Lo Celso as a '10' with Eriksen nominally wide right. Again, Lo Celso would have been in a more suitable position and Eriksen has often started wide and drifted in, so he would - in theory at least - have been more useful there.
I'm not saying that I know more than our manager, but I am at a loss to understand why he chose to play Lo Celso out of position when, given the team that he chose and the formation they played in, he could have put him in a place where he could have contributed more and shown more of what he can do.

so many says that he should be playing as a 8 or 10. But like ever said, Jose wants an organiser in cm and new players aren’t going to boss the team.
But also, doesn’t he play on the RM for Argentina?
If he can play there for his national team, why can’t he do it for us?
tbh I had high hopes for him for this Bayern game, I thought it was his chance to lay claim to a first xi spot, but I think my own expectations of seeing a younger lamela was not met.
some good touches. But seemed a bit too casual.
Sessegnon said in the champs league presser that José expects to see “more balls” and I don’t think GLC did unfortunately
