da pinnacle: Tottenham Hotspur fans have criticised Lucas Moura for his display against Watford on Saturday.
da betsul: Spurs drew 0-0 with Nigel Pearson’s men at Vicarage Road, and could have even fallen to a defeat had Troy Deeney not seen his penalty saved.
Lucas played primarily through the centre as part of Jose Mourinho’s attack, but the north Londoners drew another blank in the absence of Harry Kane.
They have now gone three games without a goal in the Premier League, losing to Southampton and Liverpool and drawing with the Hornets.
The big fat Tottenham quiz of 2019 – how much do you remember about the last year at Spurs?
And a number of supporters believe that Lucas was a key part of their defeat.
One fan revealed that they forgot Lucas was even playing in the match, while another supporter questioned his “existence” in the team.
As per WhoScored, he only had 49 touches of the ball in total and registered two shots on goal – one of them finding the target and another being blocked.
Although he did complete two dribbles and won two aerial duels, he was dispossessed twice.
The statistics also state that Lucas registered three key passes, however, suggesting that his role was to be a supplementary threat instead of the man to score the goals to fire Spurs to victory.
But a second-half in which Spurs only registered one shot on target suggests that he failed at that, meaning that fans were perhaps right to vent their fury on Twitter.
Meanwhile, Spurs have been given a major update on Giovani Lo Celso.
