Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[Andertons_Right_Boot]

I wish we’d just bin him off to the bench.

Very limited player, rarely has an impact.

I think he has 4 goals and 2 assists this season? For a forward player who’s played as much as he has, that’s an awful return.

You can see why Pochittinho used him mainly as a squad player

 

[theShiznit]

He is totally a reactive player, in the match day thread I likened his playing style to releasing a wild animal onto the pitch.
He just runs wherever he sees a gap with no real thought as to what happens next.

Must be horrible to play alongside as I don't think he has any clue as to what he's trying to achieve when he gets the ball.

 

[NorthernYido]

Playing Moura as striker is costing us and will continue to do so. He hasn't got the skill set; there's no doubt he can finish, but the position is more about intelligence and timing of movement -then the best ones can finish when they get there- and his is way out of synch.

There's arguments for and against giving Parrott a go, points on both sides I could agree with. But I'd give him a go just because as per the above, we need someone who has trained to play the position as natural and we have fk all anyone else.

He is a squad player. Another trier and a good option to throw in now and again or off the bench as he has a goal in him However his game is too limited and passing is far too poor for him to be a regular in the forward line. He is at his best when he doesn't have to think about things and everything is instinctive in and around the box. Has some pace but not electric where it's really going to concern the opposition. Can imagine him being a very good 5 a side player.

He's an excellent squad player as well. Gets a raw deal because he's doing a job not natural to him but in all honesty cannwe have any complaints about him seeing as it's a squad game these days? Not his fault we are low on numbers and rely on him so much, all in all I'm happy he's a Spurs player.

Can see why poch wouldn’t start him. He’s an impact sub at the highest level

See it this way. The goals he scored in the Champions League alone last year vs PSV for a draw, Barcelona for a draw and the hat trick vs Ajax got us through to the knockout rounds and final. That money made alone has paid for his fee already so from here on in, having him in the squad is a bonus.

I hate this season I hate it so much

Lucas Moura is playing like a 20 year old who you say to yourself give him time, he needs time to develop. His first touch is shit, his passing is woeful fucks every attack up, his movement isn’t good. Painfully average player can’t understand how he starts every game even with our injuries. Tired of watching him every game

And Dier is finished we knew that so why did Mourinho start him? Why did we sign Gedson (nothing against his signing) instead of a DM, the position we need to strengthen the most? Every game it takes one pass from the opponent to get past the midfield and then our defence isn’t good enough to stop most attacks.

Alli is such a frustrating player. His movement is world class but his finishing is so inconsistent and he takes so long with the ball, makes sloppy passes or try a unnecessary nutmeg. He’s not a kid anymore he needs to cut those things of his game now or he will never develop

We need a miracle for top 4 now, fuck this season man

 

[double0]

I don't understand Lucas game... What does he do.

Weird player he can score some cracking goals but his a squad player. A player you bring on and occasionally play.

 

[Thewobbler]

One good game every now and then is not acceptable in this league. I would sell, he just doesnt fit in anywhere. Yeah he scores a banger every now and then but its not enough.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Hes bang average ( at the level we aspire to be at).

Along with Aurier, Sanchez, and Davies too.

4 players that need to be gone ASAP.

 

[Yid121]

Same bag as Winks, absolute pony but tries hard. Gives away so many sloppy passes or gets lost in cul-de-sacs by overplaying.

Can see why Poch never started him

He had Kane and Son available then. We lost them both now.

 

[Shadydan]

Same old moan in every player thread.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Same old moan in every player thread.

We’re playing like shit and losing matches what do you expect?

 

[fortworthspur]

have I mentioned Andros Townsend?

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Genuinely what does he do? Like working hard is a thing, I get it, but what is it he is offering other than being not injured right now?

he runs straight at the defense. pretty fast, too. but yeah, thats about it.

He does good things, we'll always think of that hatrick, the game against Huddersfield last season ... This season? The goal against Wolves? Small sample sizes and a struggling team can explain it away. He doesn't take much stick though for not producing a great deal like other attackers.

What do I know?
