OP, you're guessing in the case of Lo Celso surely - as no one has ever watched him play a full game?
We always played possession football but funnily enough, some games where we didn't possess the ball enough, we got the results - like against City.
Leicester showed that you don't need to possess the ball to win games.
Possession football must mean attacking and dangerous football.
Not just side passes from left to right, right to left and then back to CBs.
I bet there’s a fair few that watched him Lo Celso play.
Just last season I can say I watched him a few times. 2 full 90 mins v Madrid and the Barca games too.
Although I still have doubts about playing Lo Celso & Ndombele as a two. Neither are brilliant at the defending side of the game from what I’ve seen.
Well you havent you thought he was like robben

More a Silva
I think Dele is more of a goal threat that Eriksen, playing teams that sit deep like Villa did we can get away with him in the pivot.

I predict us in 3rd this year which I will be happy with
Dont think we will win a trophy though
Looking forward to seeing Ryan Sessegnon play for us
Have a feeling hes gonna be good for us

Yeah, obviously I haven't - never denied that and said he reminded me of Robben from the youtube clips I watched. Still might, when he played a cameo role against City, he was played on the wing and the he was cutting in to inside
So I wouldn't put it out of Poch's remit to play him on the wings. Specially with couple of touches, he looked more to come inside so who knows.
Right now - I can't see where he goes.
Ndombele on the other hand I have watched many times full game too, and I said he reminded me of Yaya Toure, the way he can be so nonchalant but commanding.

unbeaten after 2 games inc a game away to the champions.
I am hoping for more
I wouldn`t call Son particularly technically skillful. He falls over his own feet quite a few times.
how can you put Lo Celso in your team he hasnt played yet might be like Sissoko or Lamela
Back 5 picks itself
Think winks has to start because we need a holding mid
Ndombele kane and Eriksen should start
So really its just a question of which 2 out of Lo Celso, Dele, Son and Lucas

Winks is not good enough to command a starting place. I wouldn't be surprised if he is dropped at the weekend.
Son has to be in our starting eleven as things stand. Comfortably better than Dele, better than Lucas.
Not sure on his current form that Eriksen gets in the team.
He has looked way off the pace for me, also does not turn up against the top teams

because the premier league isn't the only place to judge a players technique. I've watched Lo Celso at PSG and Betis. He's very technical.
I'll hope I'm not wrong but a few people will be surprised at Lo Celso's ability. Unlike Lamela he plays centrally.

agreed. Some people still refuse to give Son credit. Not sure why. He scores with both feet, has pace and can beat a man. Scored 20 goals in a season for us. Not sure what else he needs to do for approval??

All players have good and bad games but when Son has a stinker he looks like he's never played the game before. We all know he can be brilliant but its his lack of consistency that makes some folk question his starting place.
Due to his stupid suspension he's had an extra long summer break so he should be bang up for it on Sunday (if selected).

I'm glad he's back. Him and Lucas running at defences is awesome. We just need talented ball players that can get them the ball early to create one on ones.
