He should be starting over Emerson and Doherty. Lucas never stops working, he loves driving forward with the ball at his feet, and he’s got far more quality in the final third than either of our RBs.I personally want to bench him so we can play 3 5 2 as we look much better when we play it. No disrespect to Moura but he can’t start over son really.
He has all of the qualities that Conte requires of his wingbacks in attack, and he showed in a NLD under Jose in which he had something like 10 tackles that he can defend. I honestly don’t think he’s a worse defender than Reguilon/Sessegnon on the other side of the pitch.
Conte has previous for taking wingers and transforming them into top-class wingbacks. Lucas should be his next project.
