Lucas

[scudger99]

No he is shite because he is too slow, so when he positions himself badly he is easily outpaced and 9 out of 10 times he ends up giving a free kick away in a dangerous position.

 

The fact he offers fuck all going forward does not really help much.

 

The two most annoying sights happening regularly when we have played the last couple of seasons are Lucas chasing players who easily outpace him and Kuyt chasing the ball who easily outpace him.

 

 

Do you actually watch any matches ? Or just read newspaper reports from games played 2-3 years ago ? Or are you watching on another planet ?

I've met people before who are controversial just to get attention, but at least their outbursts carried a modicum of intelligence.

But that's what democracy is about - freedom of speech. It legally entitles people to waffle complete shite.

[El Rojo]

My name is Lucas

I live on the second floor

I play midfield for you

Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

It's just me being a fucking awesome Brazilian

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

 

Really looking forward to seeing him back again after the carnival that our midfield became in his absence last season, but I just hope he gets back to the level he was at. People forget that he's just had one of the worst injuries a footballer can get.

[The Dude Abides]

Even in pre-season, at probably 50% of his capacity, he's been our best midfielder by far. His mere presence on the pitch makes Spearing play like he's not a complete retard. Lucas alongside another quality player like Allen is going to be immense.

[WhiskeyJar]

Code I am going to order a Liverpool shirt with Lucas number and name on the back.

[Code]

Thats very nice of you, if you tell him you might get a retweet.

[stringvest]

meow!

[The Dude Abides]

Second only to Luis in terms of importance for us.

[The Guest]

Second only to Luis in terms of importance for us.

 

He played well tonight but really get a grip of yourself. He's just another cog in the team. If he wasn't in that team tonight I doubt anything different would have happened.

 

He gets about and does simple things which help the skill players and the more important guys do their job. No matter how much people go on he will never be an integral piece of the team. He's replaceable whereas a lot of our other players aren't.

 

Second to Suarez? Fucking hysterical.

Who else in our squad can do his job? Do you think our midfield was worse without him last season?

[LFC 6 Times]

looked fresh.

He would start in central midfield for city, united, Chelsea and arsenal. Disagree?

He'd start as a holding midfielder for all 3.

 

Chelsea:

 

Lucas

Mikel/Essien

Oscar (with Lampard off to the good ol' U.S. apparently)

 

Arsenal

 

Lucas

Song

Arteta

 

United

 

Lucas

Scholes

Kagawa

Who pre tell would you replace him with that is anything like a realistic option?

 

He's one of the best holding midfield players in the world.

 

Your description could easily be Makelele who was a very average player in every aspect apart from what he was the best in the world at. Real also thought as you do and never adequately replace Claude until a certain Xabi Alonso strolled into town.

I (obviously) agree. And he's better than Barry and de Jong.

Get a fucking clue. If you can't see what he does, and how vital it was to the display today, and when we were good last season, then you are just another moron. Sorry.

 

I'm genuinely baffled you've taken such offense to my comment actually. You really think Spearing, Adam or Henderson are anywhere near his level?

[TheHowieLama]

Why are City, Utd and Arsenal suddenly playing with three in the middle?

[KopOut]

Lucas is a real talent: he has a football brain, and usually executes well, what he has quickly decided to do, in his minds eye. Is he the complete player? No. However, there are very few players who one could argue are 'complete' More importantly, is he an asset to us? That's a resounding 'yes', and Spearing, if he gets the chance to continue to develop as a Liverpool player, will be the better for developing alongside the Brazilian.

[Unrighteous]

Lucas has grown into one of the best defensive midfielders on the planet.

 

Some people might argue it, but his consistency, and big performances against tough opposition is something visible for everyone to see.

[Jose Jones]

I love a bit of Lucas these days, can't help it.

I've always been of the "he's a decent player but we could do better" line of thinking, but I am warming to the fella.

Him sitting and mopping up and playing quick simple passes to Allen and Gerrard should be good.

Plus he's just an awesome dude. First over to congratulate Borini.

[James Dean]

Didn't like him.

 

Love him now.

 

High five!

Oh my fucking Christ

[llego]

Compare his positioning to Spearings or Adams and it all becomes clear.

Silverlining and Code72. Brothers in arms against the world. The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid of The Liverpool Way….. or is it the Lloyd and Harry?
