Lucas is the worst player to have played at Liverpool for so long. By MILES. And if we're looking at "specialist" defensive midfielders, he's also the worst DM we have ever had, apart from Poulsen.

Think of all the wonderful midfielders who have played for Liverpool: Souness, Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano, Whelan, McDermott, Molby, Hamann, McMahon. Just look at those players!

Of that list, only Gerrard played for Liverpool for longer than Lucas. Which is why we haven't won anything of note since he arrived.
 
Jay Spearing was better than Lucas.

I shouldn't have included Poulsen, he hardly played. Jay didn't really either, thankfully.

Although it is interesting that the only player you can come up with to defend Lucas's quality is Jay Spearing
 
Also, we were such a winning team when Lucas joined.
We just hadn't won the league for , I don't know 20 years.
You know I'm gonna be bold and say that the reason we didn't win the league between 96 and 2013 is because of Carragher.
But we almost won when he left. But almost doesn't count.

Lucas Leiva spoke of his pride after being named 2015-16 Player of the Year by the Liverpool FC Former Players Association.

Yep they clearly think he's crap.

Lucas's Liverpool career is more symptomatic of the malaise. Of course we've had so many amazing players in the period since we last won anything of note, never mind the league, but Gerrard and Carragher stayed so long because they were loyal and scouse. It helped that they were also great players.

But sadly most of our other great players have left recently because other teams offer more obvious success, because they're better than us, because they don't have players like Lucas for 10 years. So we see the sad drain of talent like Masher, Torres, Alonso, Suarez etc.

The reason Lucas hasn't left isn't because he's loyal - although he probably is - but because he's fucking shit, and nobody wants to buy him.

And so the cycle continues.
 
what do you expect him to do, hold a midfield by himself against vitolo banega and the polish dude?

we needed to bring allen on for phil on the 50-55 min mark.
