at a cost of lucas leiva 1 of our most important players for the league campaingn, absolutely shocking decision to play such an important player in this competition. man city changed there whole line up, you cant play 2 games in 2 days, just stupid
He didn't get hurt because he was tired - he got hurt because he made a rare bad challenge that may have twisted his knee. Perhaps you will argue that a fully rested Lucas wouldn't have missed the tackle, but maybe you've forgotten that this is a guy used to playing 5 games in a fortnight for LFC without picking up any injuries. You can't reach that level of fitness and suddenly lose all your gas just because you played 48 hours before. Enrique hardly looked like someone who had just come off a tough game either, and Lucas was absolutely bossing midfield prior to his injury.
