Lauding Spurs winger Lucas Moura on social media, plenty of Lilywhites have taken the opportunity to appreciate our £28.8 million-valued man following emerged Twitter footage of his brilliant block and recovery during the north London derby – still claiming the Brazilian could be ‘20x better than Aurier‘ in that position.
Lucas, who put in a Man of the Match display during our 2-1 win over Arsenal, registering an 8.4 rating on SofaScore, is still earning praise for his defensive performance ahead of our trip to Newcastle tonight.
Should Lucas Moura be tested at right-back?
Yes, get it done
No, don't be ridiculous
Indeed, the 27-year-old won an astounding 16/24 ground duels covering for left-back Ben Davies on Sunday afternoon – prompting plenty of supporters to gush over his impressive shift.
Now, with further footage emerging, these Lilywhites haven’t stopped worshipping the winger – especially given his last ditch heroics in stopping Hector Bellerin get a shot away.
Ex-favourite Christian Eriksen once described the player as ‘wonderful‘, and these Spurs fans seem to wholeheartedly agree – here’s what they had to say.
Stick him right back. Not even joking. He’d be 20x better than Aurier

Love him, he bleeds Tottenham

I hope a few spurs fans see this and re think the way we have treated him in the last few weeks. He has been no worse than anyone else, but was getting more stick. Hope he and all of the lads can end on a high by winning last 3 games.

This is why he gets the nod over Bergwijn in this system. Bergwijn doesn’t track back as well as Moura. Probably why he played son up front as he doesn’t track back either 😝

Don’t always come off for lucas but you can never question his effort.

Not surprising. He’s a really good player if you know how to use him properly. Could easily have had an assist as well.
