THE Lucas thread

[BrianF80]

I think it will quickly become apparent that Aquilani is twice the footballer Lucas is.
Unless Aquilani gives a very poor account of himself.

Twice the attacking footballer but only half the defensive footballer.

Every player out there was playing against the same team.

So which statement are you sticking with?

Plus I was not compairing the players. I was saying that it might not be Lucas who has to make way for Aqulaini to play in the team

WTF?

Indeed they were...makes Gerrard's poor performance even more so, given that a player with half his ability out played him, showed more desire than him...

A team which 8 other players sucked against!

So we're employing a relative measure of a players performance now. Interesting. Lucas was good because he was only have as **** as some other players.

No, Lucas was good because he was better than other players on the night. Because he kept the ball, won the ball, hassled the opposition, played as part of a team, didn't try hollywood balls, allowed the game to flow, looked for the man in red, made himself available for passes....simple things to do, but other players just didn't seem interested in doing them.

Some people will just refuse to give Lucas any credit whatsoever, no matter what he does. It's painfully boring and predictable.
