Not sure about others but I do rate him highly. Only thing lacking is speed but he makes up for it with his positioning and tactical know how. Not unlike Carra.

Agreed. I have always defended him and thought he was quality. It's the things you don't see on MOTD that he does though that really influence the game.

Yes I'd agree, but I'd add that he's cost us a few games with his tendency to foul the opposition player. However I do agree Lucas's contribution is easy to overlook, and hence the criticism.

All teams need someone like Lucas and they do the essential unseen work fans don't see but players appreciate I have never slagged him off we have had far better in that role but nothing wrong with Lucas good solid player and great professional

Not slagging Lucas off at all but masheranho and hamman were far better in my opinion

I don't agree that he is underrated. He is painfully slow, predictably gets yellow carded for silly fouls. Passes sideways or back when positive options are on there-bye turning attack into pressure on the defence(but this looks good in passing stats.

Can put in a shift, but basically is not on my first team sheet i am afraid.

Hamman was the best we've had for years in that position. Masch was great but no where near Hamnans passing ability or shooting for me.

I was just trying to point out though, that those sort of players give away fouls no matter how good they are. Goes with the territory of that position.

Yes of course and sometimes the fouls are deliberate hamman was a master especially at the end of a game when the opposition were attacking

I don't know, but I see Lucas as a very poor player - only 1 goal since 2007 is a joke in bad taste even for a DM, absolutely no usefull in atack area, lack of defend skills in- and in front of our box......we don´t need a super tackle man in midfield, we need a complex footballer as a Dembelé, Song..etc.- so similar quality player....
