Was at the game last night, anyone who doesn't see the influence Lucas has on the whole team needs to attend a game and open their eyes. Hendo & Milner might be Capatain & VC, but it's Lucas who is the intelligent one, it's Lucas who literally tells Emre where to position himself for the whole f*ckin game, it's Lucas who's organising and encouraging the whole team. So his legs aren't too quick, frankly, who gives a sh*t, a team needs players like Lucas, bold, fearless experienced pro's who's game intelligence is second to none, it's the reason Lucas gets moved back once he tires rather than subbed off. Kloppo gets what Lucas brings, heart, desire and a decent footballer to boot.
Neil Atkinson said it so well last night:
"A centre mid gone centre half who has been booed on at this ground who has devoted his career to this club who has ran and worked and dived into the crowd for this club. A centre mid gone centre half who is as much one of us as any player can be. A Liverpudlian, pure and simple."
