Watching his goal in the clip below just shows you how much fcking talent this guy has. Started the build up and finished it off immensely. Starts around the 40 second mark.

That’s one of the best all around goals you’ll see in a Spurs shirt. Passing, dribbling, speed, aerial prowess, all in one goal. World class effort and goal all around.
I guess it's safe to post this now
that's for sure LOL
but..seriously
29 years.. discontinuity has been his main skill over the years..
with conte he's having good performances, but many other players would do the same or better with conte
I would consider good offers for him (>35M) and use that money for another number 10 with a future, like lautaro martinez
Donkeys are ferocious. They kill even wolves if they are mess with.
Not in the January but in the summer I think I'd be totally up for it.
Let's not forget he himself recently said that when he came from Brazil to Europe, he intended to stay for 10 years and go back. This has not changed. 10 years runs up in 2023 summer, his contract with Spurs is until summer 2024.
Also he will be 30 by next season, so hardly too many years left in him.
Of course I wouldn't be opposed him staying for longer if he can in fact prove that he can keep such performance levels up in extended period of time. Yesterday he was our man of the match. And he has been one of the best players in recent month or so. I like if Spurs players do well and deliver!

Skipp should have been an option
Exactly this!
You just pointed out league goals, but after his first full season with us, he has not hit double figures even across all competitions.
And as you pointed out, the composure element is still somewhat lacking, though it seems to have improved.
I am happy he is doing well, I very much hope that he could put in games like this on regular basis. In this case the need for 3rd attacking player to contribute (on top of Kane and Son) would not be so urgent. But I am bit sceptical how sustainable such run is.
Though once more - he has been very good recently and he 100% deserves a spot in starting XI. Well done Lucas and keep this up!
Then you should call it Jose/Nuno ball because it was emblematic of coaches with zero attacking ideas. In fact it's starball because AVB played it with Bale and for two years Barca with Messi. It's basically "Errr...I dunno give it Harry/Gareth/Lionel"
Though it is from one specific game, I think it is remarkable enough to use the classics on regular basis as well..
"When the ball hits the net
and the duch are upset
it's a-Moura
When you're 6 foot and 4
he'll out jump you and score
it's a-Mouraaa!"
How about such combination; otherwise it would be too short (no pun intended to Moura
)
Moura has played this well under all of our managers. I’m glad he’s getting some recognition now, but this “because of Conte” stuff just isn’t really true for him.
He’s not Dier or Sanchez, and despite his faults is probably our most consistent player over the last three years.
He is what he is, and is usually at his level.
You don’t get massive peaks and lulls with Moura, just 100% effort and 50/50 whether it comes off or not, he’s always been this player for us.
Thankfully it seems like we have a manager who would never, ever do what we did after Ajax

I’ve been a critic of Moura for a long time but he’s going through a purple patch right now. Not sure if it’s the bounce from a new manager or does the new system suit him but regardless, he needs to keep it up for the rest of the season. Much easier to break down teams if we have a goal/assist threat coming from three, instead of two of our forwards. Lovely chap as well
He's the kind of cult player that you accept and adore, flaws and all.
If you are hoping or rooting for one of our players to fail then you are just not a fan. Extreme situations like when Kane downed tools non withstanding. But now that he is back in the fold he is once again a player that we should all root for.
Lucas is a faithful servant of the club and will be remembered incredibly fondly once he no longer plays for us.

was Anderson one of your picks.... when he was at Fulham? I recall someone on here raging about how he was better than all our centrebacks whilst Fulham were bottom.
We were using wingbacks before, too. That's not the critical change. What has changed is that for the first time in 3(?) seasons, our players look like they're receiving and responding to coaching instructions.
Mourinho and Nuno didn't have the players practicing or studying attacking movements, for one thing.
Yes but they are useless as underlapping ball carrying centerbacks in a 352
