KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hats off to Lucas

Playing as de facto captain since Klopp has come in. I have often maligned him and he was so close to leaving so fair play to the lad -really helping Sahko + Skrtel.

I have never been a Lucas hater he is one of those players who players appreciate does the unseen work players appreciate and fans miss. He is not the best we have ever had in that role but far from the worst either.

He is still our weak link but best DM we have, as we don't have any other. At least Klopp understands the value of a DM unlike his predesessor.

Never been a fan, but I think the last few games have been the best he has ever played for us and he deserves his place. Still gives away too many unnecessary free kicks though.

a BIG +1

Weak link?? have you watched a game where he doesnt play? He has turned into a great player and after everything BR put him through i am surprised he is still here.

He seems to be a new man with Klopp, even had a couple of shots on goal! Vey happy for him.

Klopp will sign a top quality natural DM and rotate him with Lucas

Bye bye Allen

Again not a fan of Allen,but I thought he played well against Bournemouth. He was never a defensive midfielder anyway. Not sure what he is tbh. Not a defensive midfielder, Not an attacking midfielder and not box to box. I suppose he has a purpose if your 2 goals up and just want to keep the ball to see a game out.

I agree with you. Currently he doesn't serve any great purpose.
