There is absolutely nothing wrong with him with the ball, feel things will only get better when an understanding of those around him get a feel what to expect and also he knows the runs of those around him too. A poor example of this, is his back heel to Amos (it's a poor example because it's Amos not a first team player), but Amos stopped/paused his run thinking he couldn't pull off a pass there. There is also a bit where he was running down the wing, Sissoko put in a great run ahead of him, drawing a defender away. When the other defender engaged Lucas, Sissoko stopped his run hiking that he would lose the ball, he didn't but as Lucas broke free Sissoko was no longer an option to receive the ball, so the momentum of the attack was lost. These little small things are all achieved when players learn what each other are capable of.
It's without the ball is the only thing he has to adapt to, he will not get minutes if he offers nothing here. He's clearly working on that though.
Will Son be back with South Korea by then? I thought the Asian Games started on August 18th. It would be great if he could start against Newcastle with Dele and Kane just returning to training the week before.
It was confirmed he'll be available for Newcastle and then flying out.
He just plays the game at a different speed than others. He jumps off the screen in that way.
That quickness has allowed him to have a looseness and sloppiness to his game that he'll never be a superstar if he can't iron out, but damn, I just want to watch more of that guy. Exciting player.
Lucas Moura shows signs that £25m fee was not wasted in Spurs victory
Are we still being linked with Zaha?

only 2 goals is that not end product
To me he looked good already last season but not much end product because he was not used. I remember there were a game or two here and there I thought for sure he would start but he didn't. I couldn't believe it I am sure Moura himself couldn't believe. I am ready to enjoy watching him play much more this fall. he looks smooth speedy and flashy all at the same time. odd combination I have to say but looks very promising. can't wait
Hard to score when youre not used. Actually, he's scored wherever he's been when given the chance, and good ones too. Not a plethora of 2 yard tap ins (I know they all count the same).
What I really like to see is goals out of nothing. That one from the edge of the box v Roma was great - a dummy to beat the defender and then a low one drilled into the far corner with his left. And the one he didn't score, the assist for Llorente. Belter of a volley, really good technique.
I hope he gets the chance to show what he can do, it's different to anything else we've got.
Letting out some pent up anger there looks better this season already
He is primed!
Poch will love this, a player who is clearly in love with football. Just a friendly but enjoying it to the same degree as a competitive match because he just wants to play football. I love it too.
Me too...
Only question I got is whether or not anyone knows a good tattoo guy....
Converting "Malbranque" to "Lucas" is gonna take some skills.
Love ya Steeeeeeeeeeeeed! :dierpochhug:
