Lucas was immense, for me he was my man of the match he was everywhere., tackles, breaking up the play, and picking out the right passes. Torres will get the plaudits and rightly so but the should be a big mention for lucas in the papers 2moro.
Tremendous team performance and top marks too Lucas and Kelly - I really think that while today's side is close to our best it could be improved if Johnson came in for Maxi (who to be fair has been a lot better in recent weeks) with Kuyt reverting to the left. Really important that we put a run together now and stat barking at Arsenal and City.
I don't want glen Johnson anywhere near our first team, he's lazy and can't defend. Put him further up the pitch and hel leave Kelly at right back exposed to a left winger and a left back.
I read an article about roberto carlos, he left inter because Roy pushed him up to left mid. He hated it for the reasons i pointed out why it won't work for Johnson and why I preffered when I was playing to play at full back. He said he'd rather have 80yards of space running into rather than 20. I think this would be the case for Johnson, he's brilliant at overlapping and coming onto the ball and taking on players but from a standing position I don't think he's quite the player say bale is who can do both roles outstandingly
I've only seen highlights but from what I saw it was an immense performance and I'm made up big time. Sublime ball by Kuyt for the first goal, awesome first touch by Torres and then Torres' 2nd goal was world class.....Chech couldn't do a thing!Sounds like Lucas played a cracker and credit to him. Looking forward to seeing the whole game on replay. Go you mighty red men and lets keep the momentum going.
The 1st goal for me is what we should be doing, getting the ball into whoever is playing off torres as quick as you can on the deck, turning towards torres and then looking for him.
And reclaim, that's what happens when you get service into torres. So shove that up your arse
