I actually would like to see Lamela given a shot in the role Dembele is currently playing. Dribbling from a standing start, I think Dembele and Lamela both have the ability to get past a man, but Dembele as noted above does slow play down and isn't as quick to spot the pass or take on the shot. We will lose some of the physicallity out of the lineup, but we now know that Lamela can cope with tracking back so in that respect we might not come undone.
I wouldn't like to see this trialled until the summer mind. Right now we have a winning formula, but I think Lamela would do better in the centre than on the right. At times vs Arsenal I really wanted to see him just go down the outside (he did cross with his right foot though!!!) and actually thought that we could've done with Townsends directness.
