As you correctly say the midfield more and more looks like our achilles heel. The more I think of it the more I actually believe this "ooh, Lucas is soooo good" comment is just a cool thing to say, not based at all on any hard fact. Yes' he has his moments, and yes he's pretty good at breaking up opponent's play. But he's also damn good at picking up unnecessary cards anf free-kicks while at the same time he offers no authority, no bravery, no leadership, no guts. I actually think he's half-decent.
U talking horseshit again?
U have no clue about what's required away from home do you?
U still don't understand his role in the team!
All those little nicks and tackles Lucas did all afternoon, the only
guy on the pitch whose switched on virtually the entire game.
He's still not at the level where he left off prior to his injury, way back
ago but he's getting there. If you look you'll see that the consistency (90 minutes)
and mental awareness are there.
Not sure if he fits in Scholari's plans, but I fully expect him to be
busting a gut after Christmas to be in contention for what's a
historic event in his country - in any case I expect him to be busting
a gut because that's the professional he is. Wondering will he stay
beyond next Summer...
But please Rodgers you need to rest Henderson he's so poor it's unbelieveable in the forward direction.
More utter Horseshit, he was playing semi-right back today 'til the switch to 2 at
the back when Sterling came on.
& who was it in the 89th minute steaming forward like it was the 2nd minute
who made Suarez's goal?? Sure the plaudits will go to Sturridge & Suarez but
it was the presence of Henderson occupying 2 defenders which created the hole
for Luis - Hendo's one of the few players out there who actually enjoys wearing
the shirt!
