Guys guys guys. People keep comparing Lo Celso against Red Star to Eriksen (or xxx) against Premiership opposition. It’s not the same game. It’s not the same challenge.

Clearly Lo Celso is the intended replacement for Eriksen, but you can’t extrapolate from this match to what we play every week.
Keep shouting into the void! (y)

A bit clumsy at times at the back as would be expected with a new defence but that was a good half

NDombele is a gem, and I feel Dele is really gonna find his old form soon. Some unusually sweet passes from Sissoko but he seems to have added that aspect this season

Perhaps that could be an option but dele causes teams problems with his movement and height so don’t write him off.
lo celso 100% is best centrally but I like the balance of him RAM and son LAM nice mix of pace and creativity.

If Dele regains his form then definitely agree. For now Lamela starts if fit (big if unfortunately)

Eriksen is so awful we don’t need to factor in opposition quality. He’s been crap, get over it

You're underestimating Red Star away, it's a very tough game. Hardly any team gets anything here.

I noticed that, good couple of through balls played at a sensible pace.

I hope Sess gets some game time in the second half even if we don’t have 12 mins of stoppage time.

Good first half, 2 heart attack defending moments aside.

Dele is getting in the right places and finding space. He is frustrated with himself, you can see it on his face. That's a good thing. He'll come good soon enough.

whilst I agree to an extent, he’s done more in this half and his very limited sub appearance, than Eriksen has done for months. Whilst fitness is going to be an issue, I would be very disappointed if Eriksen just waltzes into the starting 11 and wanders around for the full 90 on Saturday

I agree, and as per usual people will go way ott and take one half and proclaim him the best signing in ten years etc.

On the other hand, with the way Eriksen’s been performing lately there is every case for him staying on the bench until he pulls his finger out or fucks off.
