Lucas

[BigChief]

My MOTM up to that nonsense foul at the end.

[Fredo]

Most players commit fouls if they're exposed. We have a tendency to make enforce errors, out of sloppiness and lack of concentration, which puts pressure on the defence. Utmost priority for next season is to eradicate those silly errors and if Klopp can achieve that, we'll be halfway from being an excellent team.

[danperkins]

Yeah looked very organised and is so composed on the ball. He's not the tallest but is battle hardened and seemed to do well in the physical battle. The only thing about Lucas is he does give fouls away, it's inevitable & dangerous when playing that deep.

Was absolutely sensational though.

[Fredo]

His composure and reading of the game was outstanding. I'd play him with Sakho instead of Toure. He could become a very good centre back with more games in that position.

Lucas did well at CB today. I mentioned this at the start of the match thread but Klopp seems to have played him there a few times, does anyone else think that Klopp might see Lucas' future as a CB? He doesn't seem to fit into Klopp's typical high energy midfielder, but he is a good reader of the game and still has alot to offer and may be able to do it as a defender.

He was like a modern day Beckenbauer today

Maybe for the next season perhaps? after klopp has a word with hendo and says it will free up hendo to play with more expressive freedom and less burden of the captaincy?

would be nice. I personally think Henderson is much better suited to a more attacking role. Never thought he was dominant enough to control the middle of the park or be a leader. But he does have bags of energy, makes great runs into the box & as we've seen last season he can make assists. IMO and said as much at the time, Lucas should have been captain.

[Myo]

should have been captain absolutely no question. Unfortunately if Klopp took it off Hendo now, it wouldn't look great.

He was on talksport last night after the match - comes across as a real down to earth humble guy. Such an important cog in the machine. 9 seasons now at Liverpool. Doesn't get enough praise.

He'd be my choice for captain ... top top pro and great servant to the club ... practically has spent his entire career at Liverpool ... he's far more scouse than most of the posters on here

[Irishnev]

wasnt it his 300th game for us on wednesday.
he put his peno away well, then smashed the back of the net off

He'll be able for a testimonial next year then also I believe - 10 years next season. It would be great if Gremio could come and play us at Anfield for him.

[EwarWoo]

He should be the captain. He looks like he's the spiritual one anyone and Hendo just the face.

Pretty much as it was with Carra / Stevie half the time.
