Lucas - 150 games not out - well done!

[Byrnie]

Fair play to him. Has come on leaps and bounds. I love his attitude too.

 

Also, stats are really a load of bollocks at times. Lucas hit two 50-60 yards cross field passes last night, one to Kelly, one to Johnson. Both players didn't control them so they wouldn't go down as completed passes. He hit a nice pass to Shelvey last night too, kept us ticking over and put the foot in when needed.

[Unrighteous]

Still don't rate him but he's definitely improved, i think his attitude is superb.

 

Yup -- He's a brilliant little squad player. He shouldn't be starting for us, but the lad is providing a lot of industry for us and he's the only one likely to do it since Poulsen is fucking shite.

[cartman]

I think our Brazilian is better than Sandro(Tottenham) , Anderson and Denilson.

[Unrighteous]

Just wanted to add that I think Lucas has really improved this season.

[Spartacus]

He should on Sunday.

[goatboy59]

He should on Sunday.

 

Chelsea 2-0; best individual performance of the season.

[fowler9]

he's been brilliant this season, unfortunately some thick cunts wont ever admit they were wrong about him

 

hope he signs a new deal soon

[redsoxs]

Thoses thinking Lucas only had a good pass rate last night because stoke stood back letting Lucas play, then why over the last 4 times hes played, his pass rate asn't dropped below 78%?

 

FYI, Since Hodgson left, Lucas has had the following pass-completion rates: 78%, 84%, 79.2% and a whopping 89.2% last night.

[Pidge]

I think the contrast between us in possession against Fulham in the second half and last night was the man himself. He does so much for the team when he's on his game. He needs more competition for that role though as he can still hit periods of poor form.

 

Here's to another 150 I say.

[Guest TK-421]

Water carrier.

 

Sadly, he's had to carry a fair bit of piss this season (Poulsen, Cole, Konchesky, Torres).

[Einch]

Most of the dross in his role? Who?

 

We see Lucas as the defensive midfielder in our set-up and as such we compare him to players who we see play that type of role in other sides in our league. Most of these players are in my opinion fucking shit. I have seen people mention the likes of Cattermole, Huddlestone, Carrick, Song and others who are better players than him. I don't agree. Of the players who play in that role who are better you have Essien and thats about it. Players at his level are the likes of Fletcher, De-jong and Barry. All in my opinion of course.

 

He has improved but as I say he has to show more to be worth a regular place after we finish our business in the summer. If we have the cash I would bring in Banega or M'Vila and let him fight it out with them to see who gets to keep the shirt but right now he is the only person in the squad who has the know-how to play the role for us. He simply must play if we are to keep moving up the table.

I'm a fan of Lucas, but Song is, at least, his equal. Very good player, if a bit of a shithouse.

[manwiththestick]

Well you are not a fan of Lucas then; Song isn't better and he certainly is not a shithouse.

[Megadrive Man]

150 games already! I think a lot of people forget he was very young (18?) when he signed for us, and took his time to adjust to top level english football. Now at the age of 23 he looks like a very tidy player, and someone who can continue to develop and improve his game and be a regular in the first team for years to come.

[Thants]

If we sort the defence out he'll be permanent. He's never shirked, never moaned. The have a large fondness for the Lovely Lucas Leiva.

[Pidge]

Well you are not a fan of Lucas then; Song isn't better and he certainly is not a shithouse.

 

"shithouse" of the "bellend" variety, not the "brick" variety.

[Jose Jones]

I like Lucas, he’ll do whatever the team wants, never moans, showed the balls to ignore the boos and keeps getting better. He still needs to improve his presence, and could certainly do better in the goalscoring stakes as he has a decent shot on occasion. In an ideal world he’d be a squad player and I reckon he’ll probably end up like that next season. However for 5 million quid that’s pretty decent.

[Roy the Rover]

he's been brilliant this season, unfortunately some thick cunts wont ever admit they were wrong about him

 

hope he signs a new deal soon

 

I was one of those who thought he should just leave at the end of last season. But boy has he won me over. Great attitude, great worker, and just keeps us ticking.

 

We're a better team now with him. So there you have it, I've admitted :)

[Unrighteous]

He should on Sunday.

 

Oh most definitely... I mean in the grand scheme of things.

[scousertony88]

Yup -- He's a brilliant little squad player. He shouldn't be starting for us, but the lad is providing a lot of industry for us and he's the only one likely to do it since Poulsen is fucking shite.

 

Your point makes no sense, first you say Lucas shouldn't be starting but then you say he's the only player in his position who can basically fulfill that position.

 

Lucas is needed in our first team, he does the jobs that go unnoticed by a few fans but not everyone.

[cartman]

Would like to see him attack more , I know it's difficult playing alongside Gerrard and Meireles, but the last time I remember him going on good runs was Lille(?) , got a pen, and against Benfica when he scored a good goal.

[scousertony88]

There is no brazilian braver, So give the ball to Lucas Leiva, He's the liverpool midfield saviour, Loo-Loo-Loo-Lucas Leiva

 

I love Lucas, easily my favourite player in the Liverpool team.

[silverlining]

 

I love Lucas, easily my favourite player in the Liverpool team

 

 

That's really, really odd.

[scousertony88]

That's really, really odd.

 

Why's it odd that my favourite player is Lucas? The reason he's my favourite is because he puts the most effort into his game........oh yeah I love his hair to :P

[Delmar]

That's really, really odd.

 

You will hear it more and more, it cannot be stopped. Soon you will realize that you have been the odd one all along. You will be in a lonely place, and your hatred of the rest of the mankind for not seeing the world your way will eat you up, little by little. It is your fate, you cannot escape it. And it all started with a football player called Lucas...
