Lua Lua, how could he become better?

[Brighton Mod]

I think he is an explosive and at sometimes very exciting player, but I believe he is lacking in may areas of his game. Are we getting the best out of him?

 

[Baaaald]

Surely his fitness is his biggest opportunity. Maybe one or two less nando's!

 

[Mowgli37]

Lack of passing sometimes lets him down

 

[Luke93]

Fitness and crossing. Maybe better temperament too? He has the rest! I actually think his passing and defensive play is very underrated.

 

[Acker79]

Fitness. Can't play too many games in too short a time without then being out for a few games.
Crossing. Needs to look up and develop the ability to pick a pass rather than just blast it and hope
Touch. Too often his first touch is a poor taking it too far away from him.
Attacking intent. Too often when he receives the ball he waits for a defender to come to him, even when they are behind him and there is space ahead, before he starts running.
Diving. Needs to cut out his elaborate falls. He could easily have been booked for either of his penalty area dives yesterday.
Defence. Needs to have a bit more defensive effort more consistently.

 

[dougdeep]

He'll do for me as he is. If he was better we wouldn't be able to keep him.

 

[Bozza]

He needs a cross that is something other than hard and low.

 

[User removed 4]

He'd be great if he learnt to cross a ball.

 

[The Wookiee]

Consistency

 

[martin tyler]

Picking out a man when he crosses. Needs to spend some time with Conway if he returns.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Using his pace to run onto balls, rather than always having it passed to his feet...

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I think he's improved a lot under Oscar. He was apparently not fully fit at the start of the season yet, in my view, had his best spell for us in the Championship, better than he was under Poyet. Against Reading he had a great cameo and, although I would have given Crofts man of the match, LuaLua was great yesterday.

I also think that his unpredictability is a major asset. If he was more consistent, he might have less of an impact at times. I hope he continues to improve under Oscar at the same rate as he'd be a real asset.

 

[Mellotron]

Very, very, very, very simple answer.

If he learnt to play with his head UP.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Conway wasn't even on the bench for Cardiff yesterday. Good news?

 

[BensGrandad]

Be more direct, having beaten a player once as he tends to go back and do it again without shaking off the player.

 

[stss30]

If he could perfect his long range shot that would be good enough for me. With the amount of decent long rangers he's had well saved, he could have had 5 or 6 goals by now

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Be more direct, having beaten a player once as he tends to go back and do it again without shaking off the player.

Pray tell us how more direct can he be?
Teams put two or three round him to try and stop him and yet in recent games he has left them in his wake

 

[Lush]

That reminds me, it's at least two months since I watched this.

[Russconha]

Definitely improved under OG, seems more tactically aware this season.

 

[albion534]

every player in the team could improve with something different, he offers us something different to the rest, he's fine as he is
