KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum a costly mistake

i was joking about the worthless cup and mickey mouse cup stuff. but thats all.
i still feel strongly that he should nt have played, i think had suarez played and got injured there would be a lot more people agreeing with me here.
i myself think lucas is as important to the team as suarez as he is the only player of that type we have, therefore the same precaution should have been used resting him as we did with suarez. im not on some mad trip to prove a point as some people seem to think. im just angry because i think its gonna effect us badly over the season.

sorry but you are pathetic your words , meaningless, mickey mouse, shitty and i am not excited by this cup isnt someone messing around , plus yes lucas has been great but if liverpool season is going to die because a defensive player is injured then the management must have massive questions asked about them and shows how bad liverpool are if this is the case .

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

may aswell but its you who should go to sleep in your everton or man utd duvet .

+1. Outstanding post.

Totally agree with faz there and lets remember irish kop that lucas is the most durable player we have in the past few years so there was no risk whatsoever he got very unlucky and thats that. Had he not made that tackle he would be resting now and gearing for fulham.

you usually find that someone's misery is somebody else's gain. The squad is weaker but maybe just maybe a player will stand up and take his opportunity. Lucas has effectively kept things ticking over in Gerrards absense and lets be honest who thought that was possible? so it is not impossible
Spearing will do a job and I think Henderson could surprise us albeit in a different central midfield role. We have been in worse positions in recent years so not really the end of the world Irish Kopite is suggesting.

Quite right there, cp1972. I think it's fairly easy for most people to remember that Lucas was rubbish, but not so easy for them to remember that he began to show promise only once he was playing alongside neither Alonso nor Mascherano. In particular I recall him and Aquilani looking more than just decent over the Christmas period two seasons ago when Mascherano was suspended (5 yellows), and that was the first time I started to think that just maybe Rafa wasn't completely wrong about Lucas.

Someone like Spearing, who has always played beside Lucas, might just be able to (begin to) make that step up only once he doesn't have that safety net.

do we qualify for the inter toto cup if we win the carling cup?
that would be another good trophy to pit our wits in if so.

What is your problem? That's a serious question by the way.
