So, with one month of competitive football already gone, I think its becoming clear with each passing game how our main offensive players should start begin rated by virtue of how they fit on a Lamela-built-around attacking game, as its becoming evident Pochetino sees him as our main creative asset (either that, or Lamela himself is the one taking on the responsibility to ask for every ball each time our more defensive players have got possession as we're transitioning into attack).
So far, Adebayor is simply not making the cut. I don't know if he just isn't fit enough or maybe his body structure is getting in the way but he just isn't reacting quickly enough to make the most of all the potentially great plays Lamela keeps trying to start with him, not even when all he has to do is just give him the ball back instantly or to someone else. Im getting worried Adebayor may not be the right forward to play in front of Adebayor. Will Soldado be better suited to play alongside Lamela than Ade?
