lamela's rabona
the good: looks cool
the bad: necessary since he can't use his right foot at all

 

[Phomesy]

Really disappointed with Sessegon. He looks scared of making a mistake and so makes mistakes. Isn't playing with any confidence.

Give him time. He’s still a kid.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Lamela should only do rabonas

As cocky as it was, it's this type of skill that you need to open up defences... we should do this sort of thing more often.

who is harry kane?

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Sign Lo Celso permanently now.

Once we’ve done that, offer him a new fucking contract.

I suspect he is under strict instructions to be conservative. Jose seems to like this lop sided defense

This is Mourinho's plan. Here's a quote from a Guardian article:

“If you want to know what I wanted to do, look at my first game against West Ham,” said Mourinho earlier this month. “That’s the way I thought I was going to develop the team. Defend with a back four; attack with a back three. That means that my left-back defends as a left-back and then, when we attack, my left-back becomes one of the three in the back. Build with three, protect the right-back and do overloads on the other side. That was the way I wanted to develop the team. That was the first day of unlucky: goodbye Ben Davies.”

Mourinho’s plan was to use a back four when his team did not have the ball and then, as soon as they gained possession, change shape to a back three and go on the attack. Davies would tuck in as a third centre-back and give right-back Serge Aurier the freedom to break forward and join the attack. With Eric Dier working as a shield in midfield and Harry Winks setting the tempo, it was a system that worked well.

I reckon the second half will be a fun watch. As long as we keep at them. Don't need any subs.

 

[chinaman]

Lo Celso everywhere defensively and super creative so far. Can't wait until we have properly balanced midfield with a #6, Ndombele, and Lo Celso and Gio becomes Eriksen who actually puts in a tackle.

Yes, easily MOM first half.

Atmosphere seems very quiet/flat considering we're actually winning

Yet everyone goes mental when Dele tries a flick. Confusing bunch aren't we!

Tony gale was saying how lamela is just as good with either foot. He also said Ipswich is the closest premier league ground to Norwich ?‍

 

[Joeyboey]

Im now firmly of the belief that we cannot have Lucas or Dele on the pitch at the same time. Both quite sporadic and move killers. One of them yes. Two of them just makes the forward play so disjointed.

 

[midoshairband]

looking forward to a time where we can get Ndombele, Fernandes, and Lo Celso functioning in the same midfield.

Been covered many a time. But he is going to be one of the best in the league in a few seasons easily. The kid has so much quality. Just wait until the goals start coming. He can score some crackers.

Bit harsh. He’s a young lad who’s been out with injury most of the season and is now having to make a big step up while we’re on a dreadful run of form.

I’m glad Jose keeps giving him starts, the confidence will come. Clearly has bags of pace and technical ability

Probably been reading this thread and their brains all melted out of their ears before the goal even went in.

 

[sparx100]

Not a bad half. I like how amwe are nipping back possession across the pitch but perhaps just a yard or so slow at times on the press. Lo Celso has to be signed - He is mustard.

GLC MOTM atm

 

[fuzzylogic]

It's definitely glc's month

 

[kelloggs]

Anyone still arguing about whether we should sign Lo Celso. Very good player, who works hard off the ball too. Also, Aurier one our best again....
