Lamla not the miss fans think

Twitter tells me Lamela is out I see and that Son Heung-min will take his place with a few suggestions that he needs to step his game up from recent performances.

For me, he is one who always puts in a shift and has great feet that can produce something to unlock a game. Considering our 2013 purchases took 2 years to adjust, he has done Ok in his first season with us. Certainly he seems a happy soul in the changing room, always being seen smiling and laughing.

Some I see are panicking, calling Lamela crucial to our play or a massive miss, which is complete nonsense. We have played many games without him successfully. Fans do like to overreact when their favourites are missing overvaluing their importance. He has had an excellent season for us and has come on leaps and bound after finally getting around the mental barriers he had.

We change our three behind Harry Kane all the time to give them rest periods so if one is missing it doesn't really matter. It's a squad game these days and Son is an excellent replacement for him.

It is a happy Spurs camp and happiness is infectious. Doom and gloom is never going to help the club win anything so it's good to see so many getting on the positive bandwagon and leaving the rest behind.
