Lucas Moura turned in another poor performance as Tottenham Hotspur lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.

On the chalkboard

Fresh from a display against Burnley that laid bare his deficiencies, Lucas again struggled to stamp his authority on a game as Spurs were well beaten in Germany.

Jose Mourinho rotated his starting XI, safe in the knowledge that his side had already secured safe passage to the knockout rounds via a second-placed finish.

That led to Lucas starting up front on his own and he was a disappointment in the role.

Per WhoScored, he had just 21 touches of the ball, fewer than any other player to start the game, including Bayern’s Kingsley Coman, who was injured in the 27th minute.

Money talks: How much did Levy pay for each of these Spurs stars?

In total, Lucas had one shot on goal, which was blocked, and he also completed just four passes throughout the 65 minutes he was on the pitch prior to his substitution; Son Heung-min came on as his replacement.

He completed just one dribble, made one tackle and was also dribbled past once. Lucas also failed to register a single key pass, while he won just 14% of his aerial duels.

An outright failure

Lucas’ performance is made all the worse by the fact that Troy Parrott was sat, twiddling his thumbs, on the bench.

The Republic of Ireland international made his Premier League debut at the weekend, coming on as a substitute against Burnley.

He has been a prolific presence in the youth teams and is actually the joint-top scorer in the UEFA Youth League, scoring six goals.

Surely he would have offered a greater threat than Lucas, who was ultimately anonymous.

To spend 65 minutes on the pitch and complete four passes works out at an average of 0.061 passes per minute.

That, quite simply, is absolutely awful, much like his overall performance.

Meanwhile, Spurs fans have reacted to a major update on Harry Kane.
