The truth is, Lamela was hyped to no end before he joined Spurs and he has bad first few seasons. Now he is peforming better than his first 1-2 seasons and fans are simply happy that a player with such a price tag is performing good again. And that is the reason his performances are being rated so highly by fans in every match :coffee:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:21 pm

Same Spurs fans who wanted him gone lol.

They have no reason to overhype him beyond his standard lol.

Because he doesn't have amazing stats doesn't mean they are wrong, same as none of you paid attention to Ozil until he was getting assists every week despite the fact he always played well and isn't doing anything different.

To be frank and no offence, I believe CB and the likes who actually watch him on a regular basis than the stats tirade.

Charlie Austin has joined Southampton for £4m. I wonder if they'll try to offload either Pelle or Long now in January, they don't need all three of them.

Spurs 0 - 1 Sunderland. Van Aanholt.

Brilliant through ball from Adam Johnson to set it up, too.

EDIT: And now it's 1-1 straight away. Eriksen.

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 1:27 pm

And as much against the run of play as possible, but I won't mind eco smile

....aaaaaand Eriksen equalises.

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:03 pm

Nice goal by Dembele.

It looked like Alli punched a Sunderland player after a tackle, I wonder if that's going to lead to anything.

by Lucifer Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:04 pm

What a finish ffs dembele!
2-1 now

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:10 pm

ERIKSEN WHAT A GOAL!

by Lucifer Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:10 pm

Holy Mary!!!!
Erikson :bow:

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:12 pm

The deflection on Eriksen's shot made it look like an amazing goal.

Art Morte wrote:What's so funny about goals and assists? They win you games. And Lamela is a forward after all.

There's nothing inherently wrong with goals and assists, there is however something wrong with using solely goals and assists to assess a player you don't even watch, and trusting that over the judgement of people that do watch those players.

Using these methods you would have to reach the conclusion that Iniesta is an underperforming AM because he rarely gets either, when in fact he will retire as an all time Spanish great.

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:17 pm

I do watch Lamela when I watch a Tottenham game, like today, for instance - and he's done ef all hmm

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:20 pm

Agreed, today, not a very inspired display. He is still an inconsistent player - either amongst the best or the worst of the day.

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 2:27 pm

In other news, Shelvey & Colback starting in midfield for Newcastle. And Delph & Fernando for Man City... Sterling apparently benched for Iheanacho.

Colback genuinely has to murder somebody to get dropped apparently Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:09 pm

Shelvey has done more in 5 mins than the rest of our CMs combined all season long Laughing

1-0 Perez.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:17 pm

WHAT A *bleep* PASS.

2-0.

SHELVEY IS A GOD.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:31 pm

Better than prime Xavi tbh.

by Art Morte Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:32 pm

Meanwhile, a 33-yo Leon Britton - who's never been Premiership quality in his career - started for Swansea in their last game.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:36 pm

We should be like 5-0 up Laughing

by RED Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:48 pm

Chelsea Everton game is an eye sore. Both teams struggling to string 3 passes together. boo

by RealGunner Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:49 pm

Yea watched 10 mins and gave up.

Atalanta-Inter>>>>>

by Helmer Sat Jan 16, 2016 3:49 pm

Shelvey has loads of potential, he might be inconsistent but you just need to keep his head right and he can at times produce WC performances.
