Giovani Lo Celso

A mate told me that Lo Celso would be better for Spurs than Eriksen especially on the mental strength front when we signed him. Specifically that once Lo Celso settled, I would see the difference. I will give it time. He looks solid in CM and does get stuck in. It would have been lovely to have him and Eriksen at the same time but I am perfectly ok with the trio of Winks, Ndombele and Lo Celso. The creativity, work rate, technique in that trio is solid.

PS I just remembered that the trio of Aurier, Lucas and GLC were in PSG at the same time in 2016.

And GLC was by all accounts solid but deemed to be a failure at PSG
 
I didn’t see what others saw in him early on. I remember one turn against Arsenal where he took a couple of players out of the game but saw little else that impressed me. I actually feared he could become to Jose what Juan Mata did at Chelsea when he wasn’t getting games early on.

However, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching him these last few weeks. He’s a tremendous footballer with a proper brain. Fast becoming my favourite player and I think him and Ndombele can be huge for us. I remember the City game up there when people defended Eriksen’s performance by saying it was purely the quality of opposition and how they dominated us that prevented Eriksen from turning in a performance. Well, Sunday was similar and Lo Celso absolutely stood out for me.

I can honestly say I did see something there, it wasn't obvious, but I put that down to the chaos around him.
Our attacking patterns and the runs the players are making have been baffingly bad this season, but you can see what Lo celso wants to do, where he's expecting players to be or runs to be made, they just aren't happening, yet.

Not that your gonna go back and watch a 1 all draw with Sheffield United but IMO age was the best player on the pitch. He was always looking to punch holes with his passing and his movement was great too
I said it at the time that he needs other with him which is slowly happening
Good thing is he will get better as he settles more into the team and he is still young
 
Think this one is going down in the success column.

Always looks fully switched on, and has a lovely balance of creativity and hard work.

Just hope the rest of the team grows with him. Otherwise?

Needs players on the same wavelength in the team. They didn't link up much, but there was at least one instance of him and Ndombele exchanging passes tightly around the RB box. I'm pretty sure it led to one of the freekicks, maybe the one Lamela took.

Is why I’ve been banging the 4-3-3 drum or maybe even 3-5-2
Him, NDombele and Winks in midfield looks made for the team. Them with Kane, Steve and Son up front could be brilliant

right now though the way we finished the game yesterday with 3-5-2 could suit us as it gets the area where here we have some strength (CM) covered and smothered and fills some of the gaps we have in creativity

This is the problem, any of Son Moura and even Dele aren't pass interchangers (Dele sometimes off the cuff, but never gets a wriggle on when shifting the ball when he has time), so they are basically finishers. That's ok if we develop our game behind them to deliver them into that position.

Obviously Kane is capable in all aspects of the game and interestingly Stevie looks like he could be someone who has pace and equally doesn't mind passing if that looks like a better option than shooting so more of a team player.
