Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
I was with the faithful (mad?) away following yesterday.
I think Lamela's first half was perhaps the worst display of football I have sen since Paulo Tremazzani's debut when he couldn't even take a throw in properly.... It really was that bad, all he did was lose the ball and generally without ever being under much pressure. If he had been taken off after 20 minutes I don't think anyone watching would've been surprised, he really was that bad. How he appeared for the second half I have no idea at all.
Second half though he was better (I know, I know.... he hardly could've been any worse). But his performance in the second half was actually just about ok.
What you get with Lamela is lots of effort, LOADS of infuriating moments and the odd bit of quality thrown in just when you are on the verge of completely giving up on him.
I still find it a huge shame that by far and away our best right sided midfielder is plying his trade for Everton.
