I do not get how a poor substitute performance last week gets him a start this week
But TODAY was he as bad as last week? Was he TODAY worse than Chadli or Vertonghen?

Not being as bad as last week is nothing to be proud off, he was still poor. But yes I think he REALLY was the worse player on the pitch
When he's in the team you're nearly always playing with 10 men. How often does he contribute meaningfully? 1 game in 10? Imagine how much better we would be if we had someone there who actually did something. It would be like having an extra man
How so?
FFS, because I thought he was even more donkey like than the others
I mean i want you to describe HOW he was "more donkey than the others".
That shouldn't be hard. You know "he couldn't trap a ball, he couldn't do this, that etc etc"
Details please as i didn't watch the match
Whilst many of here believe that a manager has 100% autonomy in deciding who plays I doubt it very much when the club in question has made a £30m investment in a player who is, to put it kindly, struggling.
I'm just suggesting that levy/the board have indicated they want Lamela out there on the pitch on a more regular basis. I doubt Poch's job depends on it but it is important we have a coach who tries his absolute best in getting Lamela to fulfill his potential.
I'll be honest when I say the kid is on the knife's edge of success/failure but if he succeeds at this club I really believe he'll show that the club paid £30m for a reason.
I cannot believe that Levy would pressure the manager to start Lamela this week after last weeks dross

Oh gawd, we're about to have THAT discussion again all week. Again.
Its time to stop "giving" him chances.I promise I will abort this thread for a bit. So you wont get that discussion from me. I cant really add anymore to what I have said previously.
I think I have done enough talk, and all I can do is hope that Lamela walks the walk.
I totally get the frustration of other posters on here, and I cant defend the indefensible, not great again today. I am prepared to give him time, all I would say to some posters is remember football fans can be very fickle and sometimes football can make a mug of you. Although its hard to see on current form he could have a hot streak in the not to distant future where he makes the difference for us.
Maybe or Maybe not, I just feel its too early to write him off yet.
I think 3 of those were just corners.Oh gawd, we're about to have THAT discussion again all week. Again.
I do not get how a poor substitute performance last week gets him a start this week, do you?
