Technically he's excellent (some of those goals are pure class!)... Even has a good pass on him WHEN he does look up.......... Just never quite learned to knit it all together.
Triggering the contract extension suggests Conte thinks Lucas can be converted into a RWB. Victor Moses gets mentioned a lot, but of course Conte also won Serie A with another bang average winger in Ashley Young at LWB.
I remain confused as to whether we have a clear plan for the RWB position. All our options have different qualities, and none seem a perfect fit.
Emerson - good RB, but not an attacking RWB.
Doherty - WB is his natural position, but his crosses are usually shanked & his game is based on making the inside run to arrive late in the box (where he scores a few goals with his physicality), rather than going outside.
Lucas Moura - a project who would have to learn to release the ball much earlier into Kane, Son & Richarlison, rather than indulging in head down dribbling.
Spence - lots of attacking potential, but again a project at this level who will need games to develop.
And then the rumours that Conte sees Zaniolo as a WB, which would be a major project. Does Zaniolo, another of the Roma "heirs to Totti", even want to play WB? Conte has said a player has to "fully commit" to the change of position.
My conclusion: the best fit to play RWB this season is Ivan Perisic, and he'll be playing on the left....

abosolute folklore with that one....CL club's nightmares resume tonight.......
Spot on Mrs P , you can tell how much he cares and that’s good enough for me . Proper yid !
He’ll always be the man who scored an astonishing hattrick getting us to the CL final.
Yid Hero, what else could he be.
I'm not normally an autotune fan but ...
Why wasn't he in the squad today? What's this 'knock' all about? Hangover from his birthday?
He got a knock against Wolves apparently and hadn't been training.
Meh. Wouldn't be surprised if he went on a bender for his 30th and called in sick. We've all done it more than our fair share
Spider senses telling me he's offski tomorrow.
