KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Lucas out for rest of the season

hang on lads, the days of being a one player team are hopefully behind us, lets see how we cope before we despair.

I would be happy with stevie to take his place along side Adam. Thundyr is right though, i totally remember him screwing up back passes to the goal keeper for both us and England when playing that role. I still think spearing is the only one we have that is ready and suitable for the role. Lucas though has made more takles that anyone else in the league this season thus far so doubt anyone we have can compete with that. Its going to change our team and after some really solid (no panic performances) we have had recently I really hope it doesn't effect us as much as I think it will. On the plus side (if there is one) we can try out new players for that role as we clearly only really had one and it may make us think about the need for another. January here soon and only one hard game in december (newcastle) so could be worse.

Rodwell? Are u being serious? Everyone was after Henderson last season as a central midfield player and we managed to sign him, lets give him a chance in his preferred position.

Dead set. Henderson is attack minded. If he can fit into that role and do it well then brilliant but for me the only player in the premier league in the same standard of Lucas is Rodwell.

Sorry pal but I can't agree with u on that, Essien, Gareth Barry, Nigel De Jong, Scott Parker; for me all these players are better than Rodwell in that role.

Disappointing. Henderson and adam need to get job done in the middle. Spearing will get us exposed if he's not beside Lucas.Think adam and Henderson can find a balance between the two of them attacking and defending.

Bad news, but midfield is where we are strongest- it's not the end of the world. Could make us play some attacking football and score a few more goals which has been out biggest weakness so far.

Get well soon mate

I can honestly say i'm more gutted about this than when Gerrard got injured again.

Who knew that would ever be said? I never thought i'd see the day.

Hope he has a speedy recovery, and can carry on from where he left off, because he has been outfuckingstanding for the past 18 months.

On a side note, anybody got any clue whatsoever when Stevie's due back?? Wasn't he supposed to be back for one of the last few games? Haven't heard a word about his return in ages!!

I can play midfield

D'you know what, I agree. Something really stinks there. Having said that, there were similar rumours at the start of the season that he was "finished" and he ended up coming back and looked great before getting this second infection.

Mind boggling how an infection can keep him out so long thought. Never in my life heard of that happening another player. A bit worrying how quiet it's been o nthat front.
