Lucas

Played very well - insane to let him go

Can was shattered too in the last 10 mins. The CM were pressing so much in the first half and I think it was too early in the season fitness wise for them to keep the same intensity for the 90 mins.

[Chazza]

He was ****ed when he came off. Put a great shift in but had starting missing tackles and was lucky not to give away a dangerous free kick.

He will be off, waving to the fans goodbye when he was subbed.

[Kenneth]

He did well until they started camping near our box and then he didn't have the legs to stay with their runners. We got more of the ball again almost as soon as Rossiter came on.

[Rigadon]

I thought he was excellent today.

Should have played entire 90 minutes as bringing Rossiter exposed us more than few times.

If we are smart unless we are bringing an improvement over him he should definitely stay this year.

We should keep him. Starting or on the bench, he's an integral part of the first team squad.

Jay Riley is supposed to be reliable. Can't get my head around this if true!

@Jay_78_: Decision made on Lucas to go to Besiktas then. That's happened fast.

The guy talks a load of ****.

Lucas wouldn't be playing if other personnel weren't injured, so he has, as squad backup, been called into the squad. Normally Can would step in, but he is covering for Lallana so Lucas gets the call up. If Henderson and Lallana were fit, it would be Can on the bench and Lucas would still be sat twiddling his thumbs.

We are not playing Lucas as some sort of tactical masterstroke, we're playing him because he is our 6th choice midfielder (behind Henderson, Milner, Can, Allen and Lallana), and is required due to injury (3 on that list are injured, a rarity but it happens). He may have a stormer and might make Brendan rethink, but it may be too late as Lucas has already decided that his future lies elsewhere due to limited playing time, given that for Lucas to get a game, 3 others have to be injured (rightly or wrongly, that is the situation I think).
