Lucas Leiva

The lad has potential. Potential - that is ALL at the moment. If Rafa would've picked him today and the same result ensued both of them would've been crucified! I can just see it now:

Good post.

To soon for him at the moment imho. Give him a few matches in the cups etc... before we throw him in at the deepend.

Now, after a bit of a hump, Lucas is suddenly our saviour after 20 minutes of first team football for us.

the same crippling caution that afflicts rafa now spreading to the fans...? never take anything less than an extremely well-worked out chance. rafa never takes a punt at all though, does he?
