I would say Hendo is a better player than Lucas but not in the DM role, though Lucas is not that great. Hendo is a more a link between defence an attack, passes much better and also scores, but is not a proper DM. When he plays with Wijnaldum and Lallana in the midfield, we become a very attack minded team and weak defensively, thus conceding so many. Hendo is a top jack of all trades, but not really a master of any. SG was the same but at a much higher level, this is why he often was a master of all, though defensively he was not well disciplined

You know if he'd scored against us there would've been a buy back thread.

I read that Lucas has the same number of assists as Pogba this season

A slow plodder. The king of silly yellow cards. I reckon he should push someone down in the tunnel before he gets on the pitch and get his yellow card before the game starts. It would save time.

In Premier League ratings he would be a 3 out of 10.

Time and time again, Lucas puts in one 'ok' performance and he's highly rated by Liverpool fans. A player like Lucas would have been shipped out ages ago by clubs like Chelsea, City and United (EPL title winners). Yet here we are, so content with mediocrity that we in a position where we're hosting congratulatory awards to Lucas for managing to linger at the club for 10 years. We need to be more ruthless about these things.

I doubt it as he is worse than Origi IMO. I think he has scored only 2 goals in the league this season which is less than Origi, let alone Benteke. To confirm my opinion, his ranking on squawka is 308, well below both Origi and Benteke who are at 231 and 141 respectively.

I feel for borini. Took him from Roma. He was in the Italy squad.
Dumped him at Sunderland. Poor fella.

I feel like if Lucas plays anywhere on the pitch but DM. He's awful. But play him in his natural position and he can be more than useful.

So glad he didn't leave last summer, as I think he's been an extremely valuable asset to the club this term.

If it hadn't been for his superb pass to Can last Monday, that superb goal may well not have happened, resulting in a 0-0 draw putting our possible CL place at risk

He's just such a great professional to have in the locker room. He's a bit part player for us, but he's valuable.

He had a really hard time with us originally, but he's been such a great servant to the club.

Great guy and as great a servant, but we need better quality
