I can understand the frustrations with Lucas but what these stats don't tell us is his overall contribution to the team via his defensive work.
No-one can have missed his numerous tackles and interceptions recently . He really is good at getting the ball back . He also has a very high jump when challenging for headers .
Son is top of your table and has done well , but is it only me and Hugo who are angered by his lackadaisical attitude to challenging defenders for the ball..jumping for headers , defensive duties in general ?
Agree with this. He's not always effective with his end-product but his energy is always good and as you've said, he contributes well in a couple of ways you wouldn't expect from a player of his style and stature.
