on yesterdays performance his tackling, passing, determination, endevour and his never give up attitude which in the past have all been called into question, one thing I will always give the man credit for no matter how poor he has been in the past is that the man never hides unlike some.
Agreed. Lucas has been maligned in the past (including by myself on occasion), but he never hides and always puts in a full shift. He's always had the odd good game in him, but I think if he's given the role of a lone DM he can make those good games more the norm.
MotM though? Gotta be Torres. He's been under the most pressure to perform of late, and produced two great goals against the Champions who'd conceded just 3 in 10 starts this season. That takes something special.
