Lucas

[Myo]

Come on, , let's be serious now... the window of opportunity is fast closing and there is this fallacy that we should bring someone as good or better than lucas 'for competition' is absolute kanga crap... the bulk of the money is better spent elsewhere with higher priorities. . in this window... move on...

[Gibbo]

6 years since he signed today.

Come a long long way in that time.

[RedReet]

Thought he was excellent again today. Think people just take for granted the amount of times he wins us back possession. Tired again a bit in the second half, but his first half performances this season have been top drawer.

Thought him and Gerrard completely bossed that first half today.

[Daniel 7]

Is he back?

He might be back.

Lucas bossed the midfield. MOTD.

Glad it wasn't just me.

Get Lucas as your avatar FFS and be done with it.

[RedReet]

I just like having bookmarks to refer to when people inevitably turn after a couple of poor performances and try to rewrite history and claim he has been **** for amount of games. Not to mention I do think he deserves the credit for some very good performances.

Paul Dalglish @pauldalglish
Pretty incredible the difference one player @LucasLeiva87 makes to @LFC if you look at the stats in my retweets.

Paul Dalglish @pauldalglish
If @LucasLeiva87 can stay fit we have a real chance of cracking the top 4 this year.

@pauldalglish I appreciate that you recognise the work I do for the team.

@LucasLeiva87 I am currently outside your house to drop off a big roll of bubble wrap to keep you safe after reading those stats.

Lucas Leiva @LucasLeiva87
@pauldalglish i am fine and healthy don't worry hahhaha .

Lucas is worth over 0.6 points a game

If he plays all 38 games in the PL that is 23 points

[saj]

Fascinating stats. WOW. The team has so much balance when he plays. In terms of importance, do you guys think he has quietly achieved the status/effect Alonso had on the team?

[RedReet]

Hardly surprising, but

It's amazing that so many still don't.

[Imy]

If Lucas is that important why is there no viable alternative in the squad?

In fairness, I think the majority of Liverpool fans do, and in general, most pundits have accepted his qualities over the last 24 months.
Crucial member of the side, and TBH, there's no other deep lying midfielder playing in England that I'd want in my side ahead of him.
Wouldn't mind him having an understudy in the squad though.
