Lucas

[rage]

lucas played well today, lets hope he can keep it up as the pressure increases.

i'm not a lucas fan but even i can see he's improving the more he's played. as for whether he'll ever be good enough, maybe he will but to describe him as class is at best premature and to jump on posters like a pack of wolves who dare to think otherwise is increasingly typical of this place.

**** comment.

Two good games don't make up for 50 previously average displays.

He's not good enough and never will be.

We'll let Rafa decide that, not some arrogant know-it-all wannabe hiding behind his keyboard!

Should we all log off and "let Rafa decide" every single topic on this forum then ?

Nah, but we'd at least like you to quantify your comments, rather than a dismissive "he'll never make it".

Personally, I think Lucas has shown glimpses of a good player, possibly even more than that. He is calm and composed on the ball, has good passing ability, and keeps the game flowing, and given the right guidance and above all patience, i reckon he'll go a long way in this game.

How did Gerrard compare aged 21?

Well the England 5-1 Germany game that he completely dominated was in 2001, when he would have been 21, if that helps.

Same old crap...Lets hope 2009 is better. Lets give the lad and the team their dues. They all played excellent. Enjoy the moment.
Stevie G was also a bit rough, ,look how he turned out to be...Masch was playing crap when he was at WHU. Alonso was crap last year.
Form is temporary, class is permanent.

This is the entire argument, isn`t it?
Is Lucas in form, or is he genuine class?

Personally I think he`s class, and will become a good, maybe even great, player. But I`m not sure he`ll become it at Liverpool. He fits in even better in Italy or Spain.

I agree on the class part. The boy is class.Settling in well now...I think he will become a Liverpool great if he stays and doesn't move on. Remember someone eventually will have to fill in Stevie G's boot. And I think he has the mettle to do that if he stays positive and puts in more good performances like that.

He has scored 2 goals in 51 games for LFC.

He's obviously not an attacking midfielder. He's not a defensive one either.
What is he ? He's average.

before we all became obsessed with formations and holding midfielders etc there used to be just midfielders who did both. win the ball, pass the ball, move into space, bring players into the game, cover your defenders if needed - it's not either/or. i think what people are hoping is that lucas has shown signs in the last three games that he has a it of everything about him.

I'm sure Aguero is better off Carragher.

He got shunted out wide to accommodate Lucas.
