I just realised these last couple of games have been his first proper home games, he never played at WHL we signed him when we were half way through last season.
Makes him great for counter-attacking sides. Jesus, I’d give my chiselled chin for him to wreak City on WednesdayIt's an obvious thing to say but because of his pace he needs the ball to be played in front of him rather than directly to feet otherwise his pace is wasted. If we can do that for him with any consistency we've got a good'un. I also think he could be really effective through the middle.
I’d say that’s a good analogy because like Defoe, Lucas has that sharpness that makes him dangerous, but in highly tactical matches against strong opposition sometimes he gets a bit lost in the churn like Jermain used to.Reminded me of a young Jermain Defoe yesterday. He could score a lot of goals for us if given the chances in a central striking role.
Looking forward to seeing how he does when given opportunities to have the ball played into feet and to run off the shoulder at pace behind the last defender.
