Just like I run to the forum when proven right I have to put my hand up when I get it wrong.
I got it wrong about Lautaro, I thought he was dispensible and many strikers in the world would be an upgrade. I said we should take the money and run but I was very wrong.
This isn’t even because he scored a hatrick today.. I always felt he was wasteful especially with big chances.
This season he’s been immense in the build up and always showed up with the goals when it mattered. I noticed it at the tail end of last season but he’s become even more reliable now. Perhaps its the extra responsibility he shouldered when Lukaku was gone and he was given the arm band.
World class player, I was wrong he is indispensible to this team.
The one thing I would say for me is that I want to see him not being too streaky this season, and also continuing his clinical scoring abilities.
I have to say I wasn't sure how the captaincy would impact him. It it's been a resounding success. He's really matured/stepped up/whatever you wanna call it under the spot light. Full kudos to him.
