This progressive run probably sums the Argentinian up, there’s so much excitement and potential, but so rarely do we get a tangible end product. This run at the West Brom defence could have been so much more, but it fizzled out with a ball that was either misplaced or misunderstood.
On the surface, Lamela appeared to have a decent game, but the truth is less kind. The hope consistently outweighs the achievement, and only adds to the ridiculous situation Mourinho finds himself in, relying on leftovers.
Just take a look at all those black crosses. If this is one of your liveliest attacking threats, then you are living on actual crumbs.
