How do you know he was fully fit? He had just come back from a knock.
Regardless, King Lo Celso was fricken majestic when he came on again yesterday.
How do you know he was fully fit? He had just come back from a knock.
Lo Celso is a 100% starter? For you or for Mourinho?
But fully fit and in great form, didn’t start the last game.
Then he can’t start. We aren’t in a position to carry a luxury player.
I think Jose knew he needed to rotate players ahead of two bigger games. I expect the likes of Tanganga, Gedson, and Lo Celso to come into the starting line up in mid-week.
He had been carrying an injury.Lo Celso is a 100% starter? For you or for Mourinho?

Just about agree, but although "disaster" is too strong a word right now, we're currently on the road towards one with what we've had for our money from Ndombele so far. It's up to him and the club to make sure we don't get to that point, and excuses won't cut the mustard if we do. He simply needs to get up to standard in his physical/mental conditioning sooner rather than later.His fitness is immensely frustrating and inexcusable but he's played well in almost every appearance. "Bit of a disaster" is slightly overzealous.

We’re used to only minimal rotation from Poch
- We have a massive game coming up
- GLC is just coming back from injury
- Mou probably assumed we could beat Villa without him starting
I reckon Mou 100% sees GLC as a starter. It can’t only be us that sees him as one of our most important players. He’s even great defensively
Well, not in the centre of midfield. Maybe further up the pitch. I don’t think he is the central midfielder we all expected when he came and if that truly is the player he should be then he is miles off the level he needs to play. I’ve not seen anything that makes me think he is a “dembele replacement”, he’s closer to eriksen than dembele.
He clearly has ability.God....I hope he comes good just because of the amount we spent on him.
He clearly has a quality on the ball that nobody else in the squad has. A natural quality that he's very lucky to have.
But why should he start for us in a huge champions league game? He was absolutely terrible against the mighty Southampton press. What makes anybody think he will be our key man against far better opposition and a far better press? He'll be done after 30 minutes because you can't go from his obvious lack of fitness 2 weeks ago to running the show.
Its about the team, not him. I so want him to get fit for the team because we'll be better with him in it. But I've seen nothing that makes think he should be getting picked
i read it as being good at playing against teams who press, ie breaking the press.
tongue in cheek!
Because that’s our game plan now...I just want to see one game of him, Winks & Lo Celso starting. We are absolutely horrendous at just keeping the ball right now. We've conceded more possession to Villa & Southampton 2x in the last 2 weeks.
Against City, Liverpool, etc. I'll accept that but against relegation candidates I really don't think so. We're just bad under pressure and playing from the back.Because that’s our game plan now...
