KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Lucas - Normal Service Resumed

Read your original post and then compare it to the bollix you've just come out with, slightly contradicting yourself mate

Although improved a bit in the last few games, he still isn't what we need. We need a player that dominates other midfields and can feed the strikers. Lucas cannot do either consistantly enough to be in our first team. You saw what happend with the first goal, feed Nando and he will score more times than not. Lucas just hasn't got the ability to do this. Mate I'm all for giving a player a go but not to the detriment of the team.

I think you need to go back and read it again. Where exactly have I contradicted myself?

We used to have two of the best central midfielders in the world (Masch, Alonso), Meireles is no Alonso, and Lucas is below average, a solid defender at best but looks lost when he has the ball

Nothing to do with that mate. I'm not saying that he was the only bad player out there, but he has more bad games than good. If you think the opposite then you are letting his last couple of games cloud you mind. Hey if he comes out in the next few games and plays like Xavi then I'll be very happy to be proven wrong but lets be honest, there's about as much chance of that happening as me slotting Keeley Hazell (BTW, that's zero chance as she is mmmmmmmmmmmm and I've got a head like a dropped pie )

POOR GUY ?
He almost did cost us a goal with one of his miss passes
again, nothing personal against Lucas himself, just against who picks him though anybody could've done a better job with the amount of chances he gets in the first team
i'm voting for a midfield Meireles-Shelvey, Meireles to do the dirty job and Shelvey to pass and pull the strings

Meireles and gerrard in the middle, with lucas as back up for me

It wasn't Gerrard's best day, and though he assisted a goal and was a threat
I'm with you on Carragher, he's not getting any younger or any better
Agree on Konchesky too, we already know he was a last minute deal to fill a gap
About Lucas, he ain't convincing as a footballer, i mean he CAN'T control the ball under his feet, totally untrustworth with the ball and makes everyone around him wishing he's not there, you just CAN'T have that as your DM, harsh but true

Now its either you haven't seen our Shelvey, or you don't know football
Seriously, how on earth would you use a player who isn't pacey but able to move the ball around with his vision and passing

Again, people are choosing to single out one player after a match when the whole midfield clearly wasnt dictating the park. I understand he shouldnt start for us and because we need better quality, but who would you play in the middle instead of him right now?, I can't see any player on our bench that can bring what he can.

Just a quick question. Before the pass from SG to Torres how did he get the ball??
