I have been critical of Lamela in the past, but I do not question his attitude or love of Spurs. I think he is a good option off the bench against a tired opponent because, as the game opens up, he has more time to control the ball to let his other qualities come through. I don't see him as a first 11 player but if he is happy being an occasional starter and impact player off the bench, he can be a very valuable option.
I disagree, he's much more than an occasional starter/impact player. I think we'll see a lot more rotation once he's back to fill fitness and Moura is up to speed.
