Love him. Fallow period when he was here but gave it his all and rightfully endeared himself to the fans.

Developed into a world class player with us. Intelligence coupled with tenacity. That knee injury took a lot from him. Hope it's an easily managed condition he has, always came across as a top lad.

One of the most memorable players we've had. I still use his "unluckeeee" line whenever I see something funny

Kinda think he deserves a thread outside of the ex-players one? I don't like this "ah, we love Lucas, he's a great lad, loves the club, stuck around forever" thing because it maybe diminishes the fact of what a good player he was?

Yea but some nice posts in there from Jason.
At his peak he was a great 6. Absolutely one of the best.

Hope he still has the flag I gave him..

YNWA Lucas.

“That lad just gets it - like Rafa before him he just loves this city and properly gets it”

Yep, that sums him up nicely.

Lucas was a top notch midfielder and professional. Had an excellent career to be proud of and I’d imagine has an exciting post- playing future as he’s clearly a really smart and articulate chap. Hope his health problems aren’t too serious and that he lives a long, happy and healthy life. YNWA Lucas

Love the guy to bits <3

Quote from: Lucas

“Pedro was born in Liverpool and they’re still his first team. Our daughter was born in Wirral. Pedro has asked me to get the Dominik (Szoboszlai) shirt. I also need to make a photo with Dominik for him. He’s already got Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and Virgil (van Dijk) shirts. Trent is his No 1.”

What a thing it would be if Pedro also went on to be a legend with us <3

Only just seen that Allan has signed for Flamengo and taken the number 21 as a tribute to Lucas for all the help he gave him when he moved to Liverpool

Thanks for posting that Jason.

One of my favourite players at Liverpool. Fabinho was superb as DM in his pomp but I still think Lucas had the edge. His reading of he game was second to none and he always seemed to know where to be. He also tackled with power and force because he put his body through a challenge rather than simply waving a leg. He was also one of the best defensive headers of a ball, which was a testament to his bravery as well as his timing. Both players conceded free kicks, but that's an occupational hazard for a number 6.

Lucas always spoke about Liverpool as a fan would. And clearly he still does.

I'm really not surprised he became a favourite of the Kop.

Boss seeing and hearing from him at half-time, always be one of my favourite players just for his sheer determination and how he just seemed to get what representing the club should mean.

Didn't realise he'd be there, gutted to have been on the concourse and miss him.

He hasn't, but then he looked 35 when he was 21 so that probably helps a bit

It's a great conversation. He's a little regretful he wasn't a couple of years younger when Jurgen arrived. I bet Jurgen is too. One of the best readers of the game we've had in modern times.

It pleased me no end hearing what he had to say about Kenny too.

Red Beret · « **Reply #1102 on:** December 7, 2023, 04:47:26 pm »

I'm sure many ex reds wished they had been a few years younger when Klopp arrived.

That knee injury was killer. Really disrupted his career. I do hope he gets into coaching (maybe even with Liverpool). With the amount of adversity he's come through, he'd be a great resource for young players.
