I think it`s unfortunate that Lucas gets such stick, the boys gives his all everytime he puts the shirt on, not always the best but christ Kuyt plays everyweek and what has he got in his locker apart from being a headless chicken? If Lucas was let off the lead and allowed to go forward he has alsready shown he can effect games, not likely to be first choice but a decent back up when required.
We were terrible in all pre season matches and Rafa never started with a full team and let us pick up some confidence before the season started. Think he was hoping we would rise to the challenge at Spurs first game but we were already lacking confidence before we started.
