KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum LUCAS

Lucas is poop. The term "loyal servant" doesnt apply to a footballer as far as i can see. The fact is that he is getting paid far too much to not play in the first 11 and he has no incentive to leave and get paid less elsewhere.

The club fooked up big time by offering him an upgraded contract.

I would be happy to get paid 100k plus per week to do jogs and sprints on the training field, and get a good seat at Anfield on match day and do occasional shopping centre appearances.

A loyal servant indeed.

I agree that its time for Lucas to move on but he was far from our worst player last night.

Can was diabolical, gave the ball away every time he touched it, if he managed to control it that is. All Wijnaldum did was pass the ball sideways, it was so painful to watch.

Lallana has to play in the midfield three rather than further forward. A central midfield of Lucas, Can and Wijnaldum depresses me hugely!

Them 3 players you just mentioned, Can Lucas and Wijnaldum all lack a creative spark or even the ability to control a game. Great work and effort but always found out on ability. It was very depressing to watch lucas to wijnaldum to lovren to klavan and roatate it around all throughout the game yesterday. You would swear we were the team 1-0 up the waywe played.

That was a great post and a shame you won't be back as we could do with a few more level headed posters around here.

Get stuck in man, it's no craic watching from the outside.

Lucas is not good enough anymore, he gives away too many silly free kicks and as a midfielder does not carry a goal threat, which you need, a dedicated holding midfielder is not how Klopp plays, he wants all round players who can tackle/create and score goals and interchange positions. I still don't understand how he became a CB ahead of the likes of Klavan, at least it looks like Klopp has stopped that experiment !!!

It's not Lucas's fault Liverpool gave him a big fat contract and didn't try to sell him, it more shows the failings on the management of the club that he was never deemed not good enough.

Only Liverpool could buy a Brazilian midfielder with less technical ability than the English equivalent

I expect Lucas will leave at the end of the transfer Window as we will keep him for cover with the FA Cup replay.

I can bet Henderson is not too far behind in those killer sideways passes. could literally count number of times he actually did something else whole season

Well Hendo has created 27 chances and got 4 assists so not bad for someone who just passes backwards and sideways.
