Lucas Moura will always be a popular figure with the Tottenham faithful for that sensational second-half hat-trick against Ajax last season – but his performance against Manchester United last night left them somewhat angry with him.
The Brazilian winger struggled for opportunities under Mauricio Pochettino, but has started three of the previous four matches since Jose Mourinho became Head Coach. Moura scored against West Ham before providing an assist for Harry Kane against Olympiacos four days later, but his showing at Old Trafford was poor – and Spurs fans were far from happy with it.
Some of those took to social media to show their frustration and you can see some of the best tweets below.
Seriously last time lucas Moura played well was probably the semi final massive passenger last night ☹️

I can’t get over Lucas Moura. The guys ridiculously quick and a very good dribbler, he’s up against Ashley Young who’s gash on a good day, yet didn’t try take him on once

Lucas Moura is one of our worst players ! Goes missing almost every game

Is there any player that has ever lived off one game more than Lucas Moura has?? Genuine question.

Harry Kane … was he playing last night. I didn’t see him.
really!!!!!!
most players have gone missing over the pst 18 moths
to name but a few:
Kane
Ali
Son
Sanchez
Eriksen
Winks
Dier
Rose
Aurier
Sissoko………………..so really every player one the past 18 months!!!!!!!!
so stop picking on one player
Grow up
You sound well sexy David. Hmmmm. Lick my balls.
Everyone has a bad game we need to get behind the new manager and players and stop trying upset eveyplayer jose will know who he can trust and help us move forward and hopefully push on for a trophy.
Goes missing because Sissoko/Aurier are dreadful. Lamela would take up some of the slack, but is less effective going forwards. Replace Sissoko and Aurier with players that do their job in their own positions, and you’ll see how effective Moura can be.
