Tottenham Hotspur fans defend Lucas Moura from Jermaine Jenas

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Lucas Moura was unable to score for Mauricio Pochettino’s side last night.

Lucas Moura #27 of Tottenham Hotspur reaches for the ball during an International Champions Cup match against FC Barcelona at Rose Bowl on July 28, 2018 in Pasadena, California.

Tottenham Hotspur fans can’t believe that Jermaine Jenas claimed that Lucas Moura was poor during his commentary on BT Sport.

Jenas stated during the second half that Moura hadn’t done enough for Tottenham last night in their Champions League semi-final against Ajax.

But many Spurs fans were left baffled, as they felt that the £25 million forward (BBC Sport) had been one of their brighter sparks.

Jermaine Jenas having a go at Lucas Moura the whole game and not mentioning the pathetic Alli and Trippier performances. Get that idiot off the TV.

Jenas has being bashing Lucas all game yet won’t say one bad word about Alli who for me has been even worse.#UCL #totaja

Did I radically mishear that or did Jermaine Jenas just say Lucas Moura hasn’t done much?

Jermaine Jenas slagging off Lucas who’s about one of the only Spurs players to try and have a go tonight has baffled me.
Not a word on the big lads Alli & Eriksen who have done nothing. #TottenhamAjax

Wow jermain jenas is a shocking commentator … that spurs team performed a minor miracle in not getting buried by Ajax. And his constant digs at the non stop running Lucas moura where absurd. Jenas wouldn’t have lasted five minutes in that game tonight. #TottenhamAjax #thfc

What is Jermain Jenas on about? Been slating Moura all game despite him being Spurs’ main threat with very little support. Clueless

Moura’s application certainly couldn’t be questioned, but he was unable to create much for Tottenham.

Spurs were beaten 1-0 at White Hart Lane yesterday, with Donny van de Beek scoring the only goal of the game for Ajax.

Moura was partnered up-front with Fernando Llorente, but he couldn’t get past a stubborn Ajax defence.

Spurs now know that they must win in Holland next week to have any chance of making the final.

Moura may well have a different strike partner in the second-leg, as Heung-Min Son is due to return from suspension.
