Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[ikky]

Either kept losing the ball or couldn’t control it. We may need an upgrade/replacement in the summer if he doesn’t improve after a run of games up until then. I would also like to try Lo Celso in his position.

 

[Shadydan]

Wonder if Lo Celso can play in his position

 

[Cochise]

He doesn't do well with his back to goal as he appears to be rather weak. Only a slight bit of pressure and he's losing it which last night was a bigger problem than in previous games.

I don't think so.

He has no pace and wants to cut inside all the time, given us very little width.

It might work to some extent if our RB keeps pushing that high up.

Exactly my point Aurier provides the width, its not as if he's playing as a traditional winger, he's coming inside a lot

I think Lo Celso off the right would work wonders for our ball retention and also give us another option with vision, plus I think if our attacking right back wants to overlap his ability to play a slide rule pass is massively useful. Modric and Iniesta both were superb off the left while learning the game before become permanent CMs, while Eriksen’s bear football for us in 16/17 came as playing off the left of the AM. None of these players had more pace than Lo Celso.

Very much a player of moments is lucas. I do like his mazy runs though.

 

[karennina]

If he ever plays a whole season as first choice RW for us you'd fully expect him to get 20 goals.

 

[SpursAddict]

Surely the most fouled player for us yesterday. Great work rate and a well taken goal.

 

[Dazzazzad]

Surprised the goal hasn't received more attention. It was filthy!

Bang on. I have just watched the game back and his goal was Hazardesq. If Hazard or Silva had scored that goal the media would be dribbling their cum all over us. To me that goal was better than Son's. He was also severely fouled in his dribble into the box. If he went down I bet he would not have been given a pen. A super super goal and Match of the Day 2 did not even mention it.

Big fan of Lucas, gets a bit of a hard time because of the Ajax hat trick (as that's all he's remembered for), and also being misused by Poch as a striker/right midfielder. The key change, and it's a very minor tweak, is him playing more as a right forward.

A typical Mourinho type forward, one who works his socks off and has an end product. Already, goals against West Ham & Wolves and an assist against Olympiacos. Also extremely useful in the air, has a tremendous leap on him.

Better than son’s against Burnley?

Love this little bald fella- what a soulja little ninja, never moans does the cross sign,looks up to the mighty Lord and off to the races running his small ar*e off every game and always in line ..and how he wins the ball in the air like a proper David versus some huge blokes out there amazes me every time -long live and long serve [pint up] !

 

[allatsea]

Great goal scorer and a scorer of great goals but his contribution off the ball could be improved.

 

[spursfan77]

He seems such a nice guy too. Wouldn’t begrudge him any success.

He also scored against Burnley.

 

[TheRevolution]

I think Mourinho will improve his off the ball work like he has done before with players like Hazard. We could be looking at a serious player next season.

 

[Shadydan]

His goal against Wolves seems to be severely underrated.
