The Lucas Testimonial Game

[Rosco]

Well its becoming inevitable ....

So I was just thinking about how Gerrards lineup involved a level of talent appropriate to his status in the game - Henry, Torres, Suarez, Drogba, Terry etc

So if it was a Lucas LFC team v. Others - what players are the appropriate standard for a Lucas testimonial ?

I'm thinking of players he played with for the LFC team.

For LFC:

Mignolet

Enrique
Toure
Kyrgiakos
Johnson

Lucas
Allen

Downing
Benayoun
Voronin

Crouch



Any suggestions for the opponents or a more appropriate team than that ?

 

[Mors]

Aspas no.9

 

[Fabio]

Degen

 

[Holle]

Konchesky

 

[Judge Jules]

Balotelli.

Opponents: Ørebro, managed by Hodgson.

 

[reuque]

Team Lucas vs Havant & Waterlooville please! Any other team should be deemed unworthy of such significant occasion.

 

[Rosco]

My criteria was 'barely passable Premiership player, ideally not in the team much'

Not downright fucking useless

I'd swap Benayoun for Pennant. Benny was slightly too good for that team.

I'd maybe even swap Crouch for Cisse.

Arn would love this thread, bless his 6cm soul.

 

[dantes]

This topic had to be aired now, in the midst mediocrity and a humiliating defeat?

 

[Holle]

Crouch on the wing, Morientes up front.

Rafa-style.

 

[Hansern]

Antonio Nūnez

 

[Fabio]

You put voronin in your team

Your criteria was flawed from that moment

Bit harsh on Crouch. He was decent for us.

 

[The Nomad]

Moreno has to be in the team over Enrique.

Opponents got to be our feeder club, I mean Southampton.

 

[tombrown]

It will be a Brazil all time best XI, befitting to his wonderman status

With Pele upfront?

 

[tombrown]

Pele dropping deep in the middle, I think

Limping around?

 

[tombrown]

Firing blanks

 

[tombrown]

You have to feel for pool old Pele, renowned for being both a genius & a failure in the box, all in the one lifetime

 

[Modo]

Lucas has arguably played with better players than Gerrard ever has.

 

[The Nomad]

But Lucas has never played with Granny Shagger Wayne Rooney, Englands own John Terry and Calamity Joe.

 

[mark1975]

Lucas has arguably played with better players than Gerrard ever has.

But Gerrard was like a million times the player Lucas will ever be, so I doubt he gives a fuck how good Lucas' mates are.

 

[Modo]

Yeah that's exactly what I was pointing out. That Lucas is better than Gerrard.
Seriously, pick your fights.

 

[Judge Jules]

Yeah that's exactly what mark was pointing out. That you were saying Lucas is better than Gerrard.
Seriously, pick your fights.

 

[mark1975]

Or make a joke out of Henderson again, for like the 20th time today. Like you've been dying for the opportunity to do for years.

 

[tombrown]

I think Modo was pointing out that lucas played with Gerrard, while Gerrard played with lucas. Ergo lucas played with better players.
Or maybe I missed the point

 

[Rosco]

The opposition an English XI:

Kirkland

Bridge
Turner
Phil Jones
Luke Young

Richardson
Reo-Coker
Mullins
Bentley

Carroll
DJ Campbell

Sakho
Kelly

Lucas

Pennant
