Lucas Paquetá, currently playing as a Left Winger for West Ham United, demonstrates a unique blending of both offensive and defensive skills. At just 25, he's proving to be an asset for the team, particularly when it comes to getting the ball back - he's adept at recovering it from opponents and defending one-on-one. His aerial duelling ability and overall duel win percentage showcase his strength, making him a formidable adversary on the field.
While Paquetá has solid ball retention skills, he stands out primarily for his defensive performance, as evidenced by his excellent penalty area defending. The frequency of his touches also suggests that he often has possession of the ball, giving him ample opportunity to contribute to the team's offensive efforts.
However, there are areas for Paquetá to improve. He's not extremely effective when it comes to creating chances or carrying the ball progressively. Furthermore, despite having numerous opportunities, his goal threat and efficiency leave something to be desired, which suggests he might be missing opportunities to score or assist in goals.
Neverthless, Paquetá's standout capabilities in progressive passing and his dependable pass accuracy indicate that his contributions to the team's attacks are tactically significant. Striking a balance between his unique defensive capabilities and improving in areas of weakness could elevate Paquetá's performance in future seasons.
