KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jay Spearing Vs Lucas Leiva

Who should we play more often?

Is it sufficient to give spearing a carling cup/FA cup role?

And leave Lucas to play in the premeriship?

Spearing is 20 years old now and if he's going to take the next step he must be given the chance to prove himself in the premiership...This coming Saturday would be the perfect opportunity for him to make his debut against Hull...

If Rafa waits a couple of more years then Spearing will probably turn out to be a new John Welsh or so...He showed against Leeds that he's ready when he gets his chances and he had a good game...The reward should be a starting place with the rest of the first team this weekend...

we can not condemn untill he has played and proven he is a better option than lucas but a good game against leeds also does not give him any right at all to play in a premier league game

rafa wants to control the game???? am i missing something doesnt every manager want their team to control the game?

hull can be a good call for Spearing but he aint got the nerves to handle pressure games,the likes of games we are talking about here.I hope we dont lose this talent,starts in the cup and substitutions this year will gradually mature him enough pushing a place in the 11 n that time he should be a pick above lucas.

he ain't got the nerves? where did you get that rubbish from? he didn't seem to suffer from nerves when he came on against real madrid did he? the lad should start ahead of lucas every week - a much better player with far more potential, he needs to play first team footie as soon as possible

I guess we are talking about this season.the team morale and situation currently is not the same,when our strongest/best of players are shaky,the fact that lucas has been backed a hell by Rafa.

not the ideal time to start tweaking the team.Aint an admirer of Lucas either but at this stage with fixtures we have in October,might not be that genius.could have been different if spearing got the season running as Lucas had from the start.

still don't know where you get the idea he is nervous as he hasn't had a game till leeds to judge him on and he had a good game

being nervous and (experience and temperament) to play in massive games are two different things In my humble opinion...

Ngog too had a good game..lets swap him with kuyt?????

too early to say but we hope that spearing comes through at the right time for the good of himself and the club as well

u cant tweak things around that early based on a mere performance of Carling Cup against a Lower League side....

Pointless topic as the Lucas bashers will only give one decision.
