The weird thing with him is out wide, one vs one he was awful yet with five opponents around him centrally he could burst thru and beat two or players. Shit wide player, fun/comical central attackerHe was a useful sub.
He’s actually quite an old fashioned player, dribbling direct through the middle. He’s like an early 2000s UTD sub, popping up with the occasional goal.
I don’t think he reads the game very well though. He doesn’t seem to react to what was going on around him. Just, as you say, head down and run.
This is true and in my opinion that’s mostly because he didn’t really have any tricks… his only move was to touch it to the side and beat a player with pace and agility… much easier to do when you have the option to go both directions and aren’t restricted by the touchline like you are out on the wing.The weird thing with him is out wide, one vs one he was awful yet with five opponents around him centrally he could burst thru and beat two or players.

Agree but you can still do that out wide. It’s much harder to carry the ball thru the central areas, duck knows how he managed itThis is true and in my opinion that’s mostly because he didn’t really have any tricks… his only move was to touch it to the side and beat a player with pace and agility… much easier to do when you have the option to go both directions and aren’t restricted by the touchline like you are out on the wing.
Agree, he’s a tremendous player. Zero goals in his last 40 PL games - the epitome of fucking useless.Love Lucas, wish him all the best.
The posts at the start of this thread are a fun read
That whole 18/19 season was good for him and puts him down as a cult hero.
He got a double in a win at Old Trafford. Got that all important equaliser at the Camp Nou, scored the first ever hattrick at the new stadium and of course the hattrick in Amsterdam.
Overstayed his welcome and probably should've been sold at the beginning of the 20/21 season.
