I have a lot of faith in him.
He just needs to keep playing as much as possible
A good mate of mine is a PSG fanatic and follows them home and away. He attended most games Lucas played for them. When we bought him he told me he'd be amazed if Lucas made it with us, as despite most being skilful and fast individually, he never managed to operate as part of the team unit or become a player that could be relied upon. Obviously he got through and had pretty good stats as a result of his individual ability, but overall he was a huge disappointment at PSG. Particularly given half the games were against thy equivalent of Spurs playing against lower league sides.
I countered with 'he's never been coached by Pochettino', but have to be honest and say I haven't seen much from Lucas thus far that suggests much of a football brain or appreciation of his team mates positions. Hopefully Poch can work his magic but that was not an encouraging performance yesterday given he's coming off a full pre season and should be at peak fitness.
I felt part of the problem yesterday was that he was playing in the same side as Sissoko and Aurier. They didn’t exactly give him the ball, quick and early to effective areas of the pitch to best utilise him.
I hope Moura comes good tho, picked him for my fantasy team.
Should hopefully get a run in the side though with Lamela and Son out atm.
I fear that Lucas is on the same wavelength as Serge!

A bit harsh there !!!
Aurier is an accident looking for somewhere to happen.
FWIW I think we just need to be quicker to get Moura the ball in space.
Comments above true as that doesn't quite fit our style that allows opposition to camp a back 9.
Would ideally suit the Pool quick break more.
Great game today. Really liked how he worked all game. Stole a couple of balls and defended the ball really well.
Fantastic goal too. Beautifully curved
