sounds like this is a micro-analysis of individual events, not the path i was working towards , apologies if thats where i have taken it but i dont mind
chadli can take on his man, chadli can make quicker decisions in transition than lamela, chadli lost the ball less than lamela, chadli stretched the field well and created space..chadli had more than one good delivery into the box, he regularly tee-ed up midfielders on the edge of the box after pushing the opposition defensive line back...this is a skill set that he actually has....he saw the attacking picture better than lamela on quife a few occasions today i feel
i'm not a big fan of micro analysis as i personally tend to miss the bigger picture or lose sight of what i want to say which is that i dont understand why lamela "deserves" to keep his place and yet chadli gets the Heave-ho no questions asked? because its not like lamela had a great game while chadli played ****..both are ineffective in the department that the other excels in
I like Chadli as a player, and think he's been great for us, and had a better career for spurs so far, but I think whoever is in form should be playing, and for me Lamela has been substantially better the past few games, Chadli hasn't had a great start to the season (though his amazing striking instincts and positioning still see him with a goal and assist),Lamela has been really involved creatively and feel he adds way more to the team currently.
I like this post so much. I think he is our most underrated player on this board...An ability to score goals from midfield in the PL is something not to take lightly - hence why Poch plays him so much. He also has been creating some great assists this year that haven't been converted.
He is an impact player and I think the thing that frustrates is that it seems as though he could do more during 90mins and if he wasn't such a pussy he could be an absolute top class beast. Saying that after copping unfair criticism in his first season, last season he was very good up until his Dad died in terms of output and performance. A major plus point is that he also scores crucial goals at big moments and in this respect he is an invaluable member of the squad.
I think he gets way too much criticism and people dismiss him as an average player, however he should do more considering the ability he has. All I will say is that very few players in our squad will score 10 perm goals plus (plus a decent amount assists) and for that I can see why Poch sticks with him.

I'm actually not sure why lamela deserves to keep his place to be honest
I think chadli offers more currently going forward.
defensively he needs to up his game though
Decent squad player but shouldn't be first choice in the league- won't be long before Clinton starts more games and with eriksen getting fitter Chablis won't be starting many games soon. Great for Europa games though but can't rest on his laurels - yes he's scored goals last year but he needs to show consistent form otherwise questions have to be asked.
But it's great! Forces him to improve. Healthy.Decent squad player but shouldn't be first choice in the league- won't be long before Clinton starts more games and with eriksen getting fitter Chablis won't be starting many games soon.

What on earth,he's consistently been one of our top two or three assist and goalscorers since he's been at the club,id consider him consistent enough. He hasn't been in his best form at the start of this season but let's not write him off as just a squad filler just yet....Decent squad player but shouldn't be first choice in the league- won't be long before Clinton starts more games and with eriksen getting fitter Chablis won't be starting many games soon.

i love the debate ... options in the team and he is one of them.
let's see him fight for a place back in the starting 11
An assist and a goal for lamela and most people's motm. THATS why he deserved to start ahead of Chadli
