never really rated lucas before today, but now i think he's higher up in the pecking order than aquilani - solely based on the fitness issue and the effort.Pretty poor first half tbh. Dominated them totally in the second. Aquilani is slowly getting there in terms of fitness - but Lucas had a superb cameo today.

not really consistent starting 11 material but i think he could at least keep hold of Aquilani's spot until he can step onto the pitch without having to worry about injuries. :$I don't think you know how many arguments this may cause. Every one who is not a Liverpool fan thinks Lucas can play football for ****.....
.........How wrong they are
Comparing makelele and lucas is laughable. Lucas is a pretty good player, but he is not that great.
Sorry Danny but N'gog missed an absolute sitter. Basically open goal.
N'Gog is pure ***** XD (sorry danny :wubSorry Danny but N'gog missed an absolute sitter. Basically open goal.
Lucas is good at passing side ways, passing backwards and winning the ball, he reads the game well just like Makelele, I wouldn't call him a creative player but that is why Liverpool had Xabi Alonso and that is why they now have Aqualiani, so players like Lucas can win the ball and offload it.

I don't understand how Lucas has been pigeon holed into that role, lazy punditry I guess. If anything he is a central midfielder, he's basicly Darren Fletcher but better looking. Lucas is actually pretty poor at winning the ball back, he has a great attitude and closes down well but his tackling is below par.
