FC Utrecht Build up this Thursday away

I actually think Lucas has pretty decent technique, the way he passes the ball and shoots is usually done correctly, even if the execution isnt spot on.

Game on ITV4.

Lucas IMO is just a worker, average at the rest, diffeent strokes i suppose. Cheers mate

Hmmmm. Little annoyed with Roy's "we're playing well at the moment" type comments

Plonkerish comments.

Especially as we are not! God knows what we will be like if we are playing badly in his eyes.

That's fine, but in terms of technique, like most Brazilians, he's pretty sound.

You could certainly argue he lacks the ability to be assured on the ball and in a game, possibly doesnt have enough mental strength (or physical, for that matter) and confidence - and certainly you could question his decision making and pass/shot execution. I'd certainly disagree about the technique thing though.

His game has changed dramtically since playing for Gremio, whether it be just a tougher league or playing against better players, hard to say but the lad was a completely different type of player before he came to Liverpool, somewhere along the way his game completely changed and he turned into a different player.

Anyways i'm gonna have to agree to diaagree with ya on this one mate, as i'm not his greatest fan and although i think he shows good heart and work rate which are admirable qualities i don't think he is good enough is be in the first 11.

FAO Mattshark - in a pre-recorded interview shown on ITV4, Kuyt personally admits that he 'misses out' a bit in terms of technique

Again, there isnt a lot there i disagree with. I'm starting to genuinely wonder whether you have the correct understanding of the meaning of 'technique' though

Danny Murphy: "Kuyt is much better technically than people give him credit for"

Dirk Kuyt: "I miss out a bit on technique but i try to make up for it with hard work"

Haha i think i have a good grasp of the situation, i don't agree with you about this particular one

[danperkins]

Ah to not have ITV4 what a downer
