I mean... he's not wrong
No surprise to see him making more of an impact these last 2 matches

Part of the reason could be because he hasn't been used enough. It's clear that many players need a near constant stretch of games to get their eye in. Harry Kane usually does. It shouldn't be any different with Lucas.I dont think his good enough to start week in and week out. Hope I'm wrong but nothing I've ever seen suggests his consistent enough.
Maybe , I hope you're right. I havrmt seen anything to suggest that though.Part of the reason could be because he hasn't been used enough. It's clear that many players need a near constant stretch of games to get their eye in. Harry Kane usually does. It shouldn't be any different with Lucas.
Eh, I disagree with this. Harry to me is a nailed on starter every game. Lucas I picture as a very good rotational piece, but to me, of the front 4 Jose has been selecting (Kane, Son, Dele, Lucas) Lucas is the least important.Part of the reason could be because he hasn't been used enough.

I tend to take Poch's side of this one.
moura is a unexpected beneficiary in this change of regime. Can play wide, quick on and off ball, high work rate, disciplined. Certainly a mourinho guy. Not the most creative nor pose the most attacking threat, bt mourinho got kane. son, and alli for that. Can see him starting over likes of lo celsco or lamela. esp lamela becoz mourinho hates player who run around like headless chickens.
I like the Aurier/ Lucas combination that allows Aurier to push higher up in winger mode and Lucas the ability to cut inside and offer central threat without leaving us too narrow. It's such a simple thing but it will cause teams a lot of issues as you can't double up on somemof our boys like many had learned to do.
Very impressed that Jose noticed needing another body in the pockets Dele was taking up. I don't claim to have noticed the same, it's just impressive that he had the early vision to identify a weak area he could tap into.
No formation is perfect, every single formation has its floors and I like that we are probing for weaknesses at a time where we need to become more diverse.
It was a breath of fresh air seeing him stay out wide yesterday...his greatest attribute has always been his pace, I’m glad we’re finally able to see it put to use.
