Yea agreed. He showed potential and you could see his ball skills from the times he had it but he was poor like everyone else. If Lennon did what Lamela did in that game he would be getting a bollocking on here, because although Lamela looked silky on the ball he also lost it quite a few times as well.
I've thought that Townsend has earned his place over Lamela up to this point but now especially that we're lacking so much offensively I think it's time that we show trust in this player and give him some solid playing time, back him to perform and let him grow in confidence. He's not gonna get anywhere dipping in and out of tricky league and lower level cup games.
Yup, time to stick with him I feel too. Everyone needs to be in it to win it on Sunday. Pride alone needs to drive the players to be relentless in all area of their game on Sunday.
