KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Welcome back Lucas

anyone know if lucas came through the comeback match ok??

He did yeah. I think he played 60 odd minutes and apparently played well. Can't wait to see him back in the first team

didnt see any photos of his wheelchair so guess so

ha! great that he's back. i read a stat that he was our second highest tackler last season (despite the injury). if this is true, a good run in the team will be crucial a) for protection of back four and b) allowing allen and gerrard to play more natural roles.

I think allen would prefer to play with lucasthan gerrard.
Dunno what role gerrard is playing at moment, and can't be easy playingwith that sort of player when they are off form.

Allens not dynamic either but he certainly would be able to support attacks more with lucas in team.

With lucas & allen team id prefer henderson to gerrard in the team

yeah am really not sure what to make of gerrard right now. i'd say he's mentally between a rock and a hard place.

over alot of his career at liverpool has had to try and play two roles at once to compensate for a lack of ability in the team. now his body can't do that anymore cos he's older. i'd say he'd be happier playing the role behind suarez (setting up attacks, picking out passes, getting into the box). he just seems a bit lost the moment though

I remember one of his performances against Chelsea, not sure if anyone else recalls that but he was absolutely destructive, he was everywhere, you'd swear there were 11 Lucas' on the field. He was breaking up play, he was helping out the wingbacks he was making good forward passes. I want that Lucas back, hopefully he can make it back unscathed this time and start performing.
