da betway: Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura produced an impressive display and picked up two assists in his side’s 6-1 FA Cup fifth round replay win over Rochdale at Wembley on Wednesday night, and Spurs fans are all making the same shock claim that the Brazilian should start over Dele Alli at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
da dobrowin: With Alli, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen on the substitutes’ bench, it gave the likes of Lucas, Erik Lamela and Fernando Llorente an opportunity to impress against the League One strugglers, and they didn’t disappoint.
The January signing from Paris Saint-Germain has scored once and provided two assists in two starts and two substitute appearances for the north London outfit so far, and the Wembley faithful are seemingly keen for him to make the XI ahead of Alli against the Terriers.
That is despite the fact that the 21-year-old was one of their most important players last season and has five goals and eight assists in 27 Premier League outings this term – although he has none of either in his previous five top flight appearances.
Tottenham supporters have been quick to have their say on the duo via social media, and while one said “tonight’s game showed why Lucas Moura should start ahead of Dele Alli”, another said they ‘would seriously consider leaving Alli on the bench against Huddersfield and have Son and Lucas on the wings’.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
