Gabby Agbonlahor told the Spurs Eye View that Lucas Moura needs to play ‘every game’ for Tottenham.
The former striker and Sky Sports pundit also stated that Moura is someone who can be a ‘problem’ to opposition players because of his speed and quality on the ball.
Even though Tottenham have had an up and down time of late, Moura has still been, alongside Harry Kane, one of his side’s better players.
And Agbonlahor touched upon Moura’s inconsistencies and how that may never go out of his game.
“He’s the only one when Son is out that you feel like something can happen,” said Agbonlahor. “You must be frustrated as a Spurs fan because he should be doing that every game.
“He’s quick. He has got that low centre of gravity. He can run past people. Sometimes he doesn’t use his speed to his advantage but when he does then he’s a problem.
“I like him as a number 10. He gets it and he runs. Is he going to keep the ball like a Grealish would in that position? No. But if he can get in them positions then 50% of the time if he turns then you are in big trouble because he can run past players. Speed kills. Moura has to play every game.
“Next week, he’ll probably miss four easy chances. That’s the problem and he’s always going to be like that. He’s not going to get you a league title. But he’ll get you into that top four.”
Tottenham fans will love the Moura that scored a hat-trick against Ajax to turn up every week because then he would rip the Premier League apart.
Whilst it’s pretty difficult to hit those standards, the £23m speedster (BBC Sport) still needs to add more consistency to his game.
