I suspect that the absence of Lamela this season has been the most costly
for the PL campaign.
Rose's prolonged absence has affected us even more tbh. I love Lamela but the reality is we've played our best football yet with him out of the side. We've missed his passion, fight and drive no question but in terms of ability and actual impact on a game, Alli, Eriksen and now even Son have far outstripped him.
Davies provides a very stable back-up to Rose but the latter is in a different league at both ends of the pitch. Him going off in the first half against Sunderland killed the game for us and it turned into a very frustrating draw against a very ****e team. The other game where his absence was keenly felt was when Mane tore Davies a new one at Anfield. Rose would've had him in his pocket begging for air.
