i think lucas has no vision, clumsy in the tackle and very slow in getting back. but I do reckon we need to strengthen in other positions before we get rid of him.

I think he's the best tackler in the league, has great positioning, and almost never loses the ball. But I suppose we can agree to disagree.

Statistically, he is not all that dissimilar in fouling to many other players that play DM, and his record shows his fouls aren't primarily in dangerous areas. You're entitled to an opinion, but it is not based much evidence-wise.


Lucas didn't give out any free kicks in our half yesterday? A bit strange, I'll try to watch the game again because it looks to me that he did, I might be mistaken.

He usually plays it very safe with his passes, so won't be surprised with this. I would think that SG pass accuracy would be lower as he tries the difficult ones to move the game forward.

Which is his job. Lucas's job is to break up play and get the ball to Agger, Stevie, or Coutinho. And he's pretty good at it.

Which in turn means that you can't use the stats to determine which of the players are the best. You just have to look at the big picture...
