This place is a Nut house like rawk these days. Cattermole

Maybe under Godfrey and the cowboys. He gets sent off at least twice a year. Every time he's been to anfield with witan and Sunderland he has been awful. The lad is mid prem player. If you want to replace Lucas with homegrown, then at least look at McCarthy first. Even then I reckon Lucas is better. He will be even better this year with better players around him.

After getting him to sign a new contract couple of months ago

Lucas will be in the team this season .

Did you actually watch any off the games ?

Did you not see that the blame lay firmly on their forward players ?

Neymar and Ganso were absolutely shockingly bad .

Lucas has come a long way since the days where everyone use to rip into him. It would be a shame to lose him now after he has finally adapted to playing in England. Not only adapted but last season it was clear to see that his place in the team was earned on merit.

Agreed
Lets hope he continues getting better

Kenny will only play players on merit mate - you will have to earn your place in the line up .

Carroll played against Spurs and he was sh'ite
KK should have kept the team that had been winning before that game

i wasn't saying he was to blame i just noted to myself that it is no wonder he is a memebr of a failing Brazil Team...Everyone here is praising us for having a Brazil Int. in our squad But what most don't understand is that he plays for Brazil Because he is in Liverpool. I would say that in this equation he is the one ripping the rewards....Same case was with Insua which played for Argentina. Mediocre players riding the greatness of Liverpool to get a national spot.

Lucas was probably one of their better players. Their problems was that they couldn't score and they got plenty of balls for it. Defensively Brazil did well.

Look back at your post and tell me you don't rate Lucas. How many years has this been going on? Seriously? He was by far one of our better players last season and consistently put in good performance after good performance. Consistent being the operative word here!
Can we just for a week or so forget which country he comes from? Because he's Brazilian people like you instantly think he should be playing little flicks and nutmegs and all manner of ball playing skills. He is NOT that player. He is a defensive midfielder who's job it is to protect his back four and he does that very efficiently thank you.
His name will be on the team-sheet more often than not so please get used to it and leave your diatribe remarks about our 'Mr. Solid' alone. And trust me he is solid. Ever seen him injured? Or pulling out of a fifty fifty tackle?
No. I didn't think so.

I remember one game( inforgot against who) Lucas got on the ball and started running with the ball. The opposition player colided with him from the back and he fell down. The opposition player got a second yellow card and was sent off. My friend who as watching with me pointed out that Lucas slowed down intentionally to draw the foul. I told him No, that's the fastest he could run!

He is no world beater or going to become world class or all that stuff, still has those limitations that won't go away but dependable and we will see more of him next season.
