Lucas has indeed done it before, but until this game he's done it consistently poorly. It's been one of the safest bets in football that his getting on the end of an attacking move would see the move break down.

I'm not sure how fair a comment this is since he has scarcely been on the end of attacking moves during his time with us. I still think he's a bit of an enigma and we really haven't seen enough of what he's actually capable of to judge his ability and potential. His tackling has certainly come up leaps and bounds since he joined. That being said, the way he has played (or been asked to play) on the whole is deserving of criticism.
I really do want to see him given more freedom to see what he can do. If he is going to be continuned in the role we've mostly seen him in, I don't want him in the starting eleven next season.
