KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Welcome back Lucas

Watch Lucas play for 60 min today for the U21 and he played like his never been away. Hopefully see him with the first team soon

Will be great to have him back in the starting XI, don't want to see it rushed though.

Also who do you think will be getting dropped for him?

Well at the moment Allen is playing in the position Lucas would be playing in but can see Allen playing further up the field. Do the middle three would be Lucas, Allen and Gerrard. Once Shain gets his form I can see Gerrard moved over to the right of the front three like he played under Rafa (scoring a record number of goals in one season)

We are missing him a lot, Can't wait to see him come back but I totally agree that we need to ease him back slowly because we really cannot afford to lose him again for a longer spell. He will definitely improve the first team no doubt about that.

gerrard is ancient , no bloody way he goes out right. and we had xabi then who used to get him in round the back every game.

Ancient? I wouldnt say that. I think he would do less work out wide then being a box to box midfielder. Also rumor has it that was going to be the formation before Lucas got injured

Gerrard is FAR too slow to play on the right in this system. Saw it against young boys, at times he really struggles to keep pace with players that aren't even that quick. He cannot play there. Sahin will be back up.

We don't even have 3 proper forward players fit for a 4-3-3 formation at the moment.

Think we will play 4-1-3-2 when Lucas is back!

Wisdom-Skrtel-Agger-Johnno

--Gerrard-Allen-Enrique---

-----Suarez--Sterling-----

give lucas a few games here and a few games their and keep him fit and free from injury and next year we will see the real lucas..

Great to see him back,hopefully fully match fit by Xmas and to influence our matches in the 2nd half of the season.
