If anyone thinks Lucas put in an acceptable performance tonight they clearly weren't at the same game as I was this evening. I'm no Lucas-basher, but he was woeful tonight. His distribution, movement and awareness were all rubbish. In short, he gave away the ball far too much, picked the wrong pass far too often, didn't show enough when we were in possession, and shirked when it came to Villa's box when it was crying out of someone to pull the trigger.
He made one nice turn to get away from his man which all very attractive, but if my memory serves, he just used it to run straight into trouble and lose possession again.
