Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[JimmyG2]

Fascinating stuff
But cut to the chase.
is he a good signing or not.

 

[dtxspurs]

Can't wait for him to be given a bigger role next season. He just provides so much energy on the pitch. Would love for us to line up Son, Eriksen and Lucas behind Kane in some games next year. Would be really fun to watch all that pace out wide behind Kane with Eriksen setting it all up.

He is hampered by the same issues as our team generally, a lack of vertical passing and movement in the final third. He instinctively cuts inside from the right but frequently finds congestion because our lack of fluidity doesn't create the spaces for him and others too exploit. Behind him the overlap seldom comes, again denying him space.

I really like what he brings to the team. Pace, skill, directness, vision and skill. He can take people on either side and he uses the ball very well. But until we can address our attacking issues we won't see the best of him.

What in the name of all that is holy is that graph supposed to tell me? I'm getting less information from it the longer i look at it.

What’s up with you man... That tells you what a piece of cheese caught in a spiders web looks like. Duh!

Lucas really does seem an incredibly decent human being.

I'm hoping he tears a few up next season.

 

[Hazelton]

Can't wait to see how he does after a full pre-season with Poch and the coaching staff. Still feels like a new signing since he didn't play as much as we expected.

Sounds like hes raring to go from his quotes and understands his 6 month bedding in...

I don't care about his quality as a human being, I only care about his ability to win battles.

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

It's been over 24 hours and for some reason I'm still angry about that 'graph'. I've just noticed it says 50% on one line for some reason or another, i hadn't seen that before.

Bloody thing is keeping me awake at night.

 

[Lemon]

Ok... I think I might get a few dislikes and disagrees..... But I am gonna just put this out there.

I think Poch might use him as the new Dembele.

Here are my reasons...

So far, he has played in the centre of the midfield. I know he drifts to he wings, but he seems to be carrying alot of the ball in midfield. And he has been trying to link up play from defence to attack.

Moura has show he is strong on the ball and hard to knock off. A real strength of Dembele's game

When we signed Mousa, he was an AMC, According to FM, Lucas is an AM R/C/L. And we converted one to a holding midfielder.


Poch likes having players who can fill multiple positions. Really allows for easy change in tactics .

plus... Mousa and moura is just one letter off!

Basically if we don't purchase a new holding midfielder and Dembele leaves... don't be surprised to see Lucas a long side Dier.

And personally.... I think it makes alot of sense. Allow us to switch from a 4231 to a 4141.

Can see he has similarity to Modric possibly.

 

[ajspurs]

It's so weird, because I always forget that we even have Lucas, such a strange feeling. He is like a new signing still, am so excited to see him further incorporated into our team.

An Austin Spurs original, created during the Roma match, to the tune of Andrea True Connection’s “More More More”:

According to Ben Pearce, Aurier and Moura are re-creating that PSG connection.

Would be big time to get Serge back up to snuff and have those 2 linking on the right side. Tons of speed and attacking capability. Serge still looks a bit careless with the ball but an improvement none the less.

His crossing looks a lot better. Even defensively he looks a little more composed. Be interesting to see if he can improve further.

 

[thfc1973]

I predict that Lucas will be amazing for us next season. Watching him against Barca last night you could clearly see he has a lot to offer. What i am drooling about is his ability to dribble past players. He did that at one point that looked like he went past or 4 players. He oozes skill. He's the one i have highest hopes for and will feel like a revelation signing imho.

 

[DiamondLites]

Could be a revelation next season as the right forward of a 4-3-3, I’d like us to get Martial but if we don’t then I’m comfortable with our smorgasbord of forwards and the combinations we can play

 

[dontcallme]

Really looking forward to seeing how he does next season.

We have been linked to so many attacking mids with speed and skill that he seems an afterthought.

He looked lively and skilful when he played last season. Really hope he fits in as he could add some real excitement to our side.
