We're going to need him and Son firing if we have any hope of beating City (in either game).Great to see him hit some form now that Kane is out
Dele as a false 9 would be my shout.Has to start on Wednesday.
I would honestly play without a striker.
Both he and Son should play from the beginning.
He and Fernando form a better duo than him and Harry up front for that reason. Fernando is a more traditional target man than Harry so Lucas gets more space to run at them in. When it is him and Harry they end up taking up much of the same space and ending up in the way of each other unless Lucas would be deployed as a winger, which Poch doesn't really use.If it were the 90’s and top sides were playing 4-4-2 he would be up there with the finest.
Adds so much directness and dynamics to our play. Lamela should take notice
Just watched Moura’s second goal again and god damn that’s an impressive touch.
His first was like JD at his best; absolutely smashed it into the bottom corner from a tight angle. Love seeing that sort of goalEvery goal was top class. I think sammyspurs was the one that said it reminded him of Defoe. People talk about our lack of investment but let's be honest, Kane, Llorente, Son & Lucas Moura as striker options really is a pretty impressive level of depth. 13 goals or so for a bit part player across all competitions this season? Not many can boast those figures. Excellent buy for £23m without a doubt. Good character, has pedigree and pops up with important goals I'm sure he'll only get better the more comfortable he gets with his teammates & the club.
Surely he’s going to be a starter for the remainder of the season
