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 must say, in real time, I didn't notice the buildup.
Sublime.
that's for sure LOLI'll allow you cause it's Christmas so the real question here is how many units have you drunk?
Donkeys are ferocious. They kill even wolves if they are mess with.Lol he wasn't in mine I said he was a donkey then and he's still one.
I know it's unpopular..
but after those huge performances.. it's the right moment to sell him
I guess it's safe to post this now
Actually think Lucas was showing a bit more about his game in pre season too (under Nuno), getting an assist or 2, creating things with 1 touch passing - and just generally increasing his overall awareness.
Still, I look at the way he lashed at a couple of chances today and wonder how much further his composure could develop aged 29.
I remember him at Sao Paulo thinking how enjoyable it was to watch such a talented player, wondering how his game would develop, honestly thinking he could one day win world player of the year. Got his move to PSG - but the older I get the more I realise that gifted teenagers don't necessarily improve that much and can often look back at players careers thinking their 'high potential' days are actually their peak.
What concerns me most are his goal returns year by year.
(Forget the half season he signed where he barely got a chance)
18/19 = 10 league goals
19/20 = 4 league goals
20/21 = 3 league goals
21/22 = 2 league goals so far.. so hopefully will end this downward trajectory.
I really like the guy, was delighted when we signed him, and am massively biased towards him - so hope his good form continues!
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"Criticizing Harry Kane ball is not criticizing Kane - it's criticizing the tactic of playing Harry Kane ball
I have criticized this tactic for many many months now
Using wingbacks and putting players (Son / Moura etc) more centrally allows them to be in more threatening/advanced positions and also allows them to raid the opponent's box at a much higher rate.
When we played Harry Kane ball with the objective being to get Kane time/space and ultimately as many shots for him as possible, players like Moura were rarely in positions to score.
In 6 of the 9 games we've played under Conte, Harry has taken 2 shots or less. But we've been winning and our other players, particularly Lucas, are playing off the charts. You can't expect a player to succeed when they're not in a position to thrive.
Surely lucas deserves a chant
He's the kind of cult player that you accept and adore, flaws and all.I feel sorry for you if you’re a Spurs fan and you can’t rate Moura. Loves the club more than any other player, delighted that he’s now in a system where he can be more productive.
Igula 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.Oh, yeah. Totally forgot about Andersen but many here wanted him on the strength of 2 long balls when we played Fulham.
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.No, he’s more central because we are using wing backs now. You are so biased that you attribute every positive or negative change to any player as an excuse to criticize Kane. Pathetic.
Yes but they are useless as underlapping ball carrying centerbacks in a 352Donkeys are ferocious. They kill even wolves if they are mess with.
