So much for the "we're playing a 50 game season" rationale.

Won't even give him more than a half in a cup game.

If there is an offer just take it, not good enough for the Premier League. Performs in slow meaningless friendly games and goes missing in competitive matches, yet another poor expensive singing. He has way to many excuses from some fans.

Each time I've watched him play for us in a competitive game, come back to the same feeling that the speed and intensity of the game here is too much for him. Doesn't make him a bad player, just one that isn't suited to the football here. Again, don't want to be too harsh as it's his first start of the season but I'm struggling to see anything fundamentally changing.

There were some in here last week claiming that there was 'almost no drop in quality ' from Maddison to Lo Celso.

I think he at least deserves a chance to play with Bissouma and Sar behind him or even with him positioned next to Maddison. No one looked good against Fulham today.

They were the ones who came to this conclusion because he bossed it in a meaningless preseason friendly against Barcelona, playerd at walking pace, featuring players who were trying to avoid being injured for the start of the season.

I think this needs to be taken into account. That and first minutes of the year. Never good making as many changes as we did and you know it won't help us when we turn out at the weekend with supposedly fresh legs. We always get a hangover from these games.

Serious question though, how often has he looked good in a competitive game for us ?

Christ we are not a charity, how about he earns that chance. He doesn’t deserve anything. He has shown little in competitive time in the Premier League while with us.

I swear whenever a player has a bad game you get the same posters coming out of the woodwork to say banal shit about how they need to go.

I've been saying he isn't good enough for several years now. One good preseason game or two doesn't change the fact that he has been shite for spurs on the whole.

Some of the comments about his game tonight are very harsh. He wasn't great, granted. But the entirety of that team, minus VDV, was crap. In that first half, I thought Perisic, Solomon, Skippy, PEH, Sanchez, Richy, Emerson -- were all as bad, if not worst than Lo Celso. Really was the first time I questioned Ange. As Dane was a further rung down the ladder. I get that many hate this guy. But, in a sea of shit, he was less shit than others in the first half.
