da leao： Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of breaching the top four in the Premier League suffered a major setback this afternoon as they were beaten in a five-goal thriller on their own patch.
da 888： And supporters have been left reeling by the performance from makeshift centre-forward Lucas Moura.
Spurs were defeated 3-2 by Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have now overtaken them into fifth position.
The north Londoners twice led through Steven Bergwijn and then Serge Aurier before Raul Jimenez fired home the winner in the 73rd minute, which not only handed the home support a reminder on what it is like to have a fit and firing striker, but it also fueled their criticism at the Brazillian after he failed to find the net.
Jose Mourinho’s side are now five points from Chelsea in fourth following back-to-back domestic defeats.
Here’s what fans have been saying about Moura on social media…
Some supporters were rather creative in their assessments of the winger-come-striker, one claimed he was more like Lionel Richie than Lionel Messi and another believed he was thrown about like a ragdoll – going as far as suggesting that he isn’t up to the physicality of the top-flight.
“Selfish,” “useless,” and “awful” were three other superlatives used to describe Moura’s showing.

As per SofaScore, the 27-year-old lost possession 17 times, had four shots without a goal and was dribbled past on two occasions, so no wonder a further member of the Spurs faithful labelled him an “absolute ghost.”
He was even berated for being a “useless idiot.”
It has led to calls for him to be dropped, particularly as there was a striker on the bench in Troy Parrot…
Moura was blasted for being a “liability again” while others clearly would love to see him feature on the bench when they face Norwich City in the FA Cup fifth round later this week.
Some went as far as suggesting that the club should look to part ways with their 2018 winter addition…
“So bad” and “bang average” were further comments made about the Brazil international, and one supporter wanted just one wish this summer, and that was to sell Moura.
