Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[worcestersauce]

I’m more than happy for him to have the odd cameo off the bench between now and the end of the season.

We’re a well oiled machine that don’t lose many games and he was always going to need time to get up to speed anyway.

Obviously if any of Lamela, Eriksen, Alli or Son get injured then he can get a start or 2 but I don’t see the rush, personally. Will be great when he gets a pre season in the summer.

Almost certainly going to get a cameo start tonight.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts tonight (definitely expect 15-20 mins off the bench no matter the score)

Agreed, but the more opportunities he has to make an intelligent decision (having found himself in a threatening area because of his skill and pace), the more times he will make an intelligent decision. He may not have Eriksen levels of reliability in that respect, but from what I’ve seen he’s better at it than Lamela and no worse than Son.

If Raheem Sterling can be first choice in a Guardiola side, then Moura can be very good for us. Coaching and system as ever will play a part.

We are a well oiled machine until we are not.
Best to be proactive and use all the talents of our players, mixing a little brings more power. Esoecually vrs Brighton. Or should

I don't know much about him, but from what I have seen I love his ability to sky high and win headers. In the league cup game I believe he was winning every header he attempted and last game he cleared the hell out of a corner.

I am guilty of thinking all small players don't challenge for headers, but this kid proves me wrong; he fucking loves using his head. Wish Eriksen would take note a bit. Seeing him feign every header that comes near him kind of irks me.

 

[cozzo]

He will be like Salah next season after pre season lighting up the new stadium.

 

[Ronwol196061]

Gonna bag two goals today. I can feel it in my plums.

At least its not your prunes

Intetesting point
Erijsem is really talented and he has stooped feigning a bit...could it be the hark of Barca...butvhe us great at picking out a player..and he is a fantastic goalscorer (at times reallly reminds me of Greaves's effortless goals)
Moura is different to him and so would love to see them feed off each other
As far as headers go..its a bonus if it happens

Not sure about that....Salah has that Suarez mentality. I tjink Moura is a bit more Courtinho.
(Before everyone starts he isnt Courtinho...but that kind of style)

Did Poch actually want Moura?

Rarely gives him any game time and even when he does, pulls him at the first opportunity. He can't even get 90 minutes against Rochdale.

 

[mpickard2087]

Initial observations - maybe playing safe (understandably) but comes to the ball, and therefore too deep, a bit too much. If he's capable needs to be prepared to get ahead of the ball and make runs up against and in behind back lines.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Just needs end product and he'll be lethal.

 

[DCSPUR]

a bit disappointed in him today but will be fine after pre-season

 

[morris25]

Offered very little, prefer him as a sub when the teams are tired.

 

[Ronwol196061]

I havent seem the game yet but wiuld imagine the other Superstars were not all that potent either
Will have a look

You should not bother - it will only bring you misery

He wasn't great to be honest, only really recall one decent shot and that end of half foul in 72 mins .
Didn't see him take anyone on really, or play great passed

Doubt he's very match fit or sharp

Last time I use my balls to predict the future

 

[Hengy1]

Play him off the right he fine, move him left and his ineffective
