On Lucas:
"With Alonso what mattered was off the ball movement and the team's on the ball movement was so much more static. With Lucas immediately replacing Alonso, he passes the ball shortly and tersely and expects the ball back in return after moving forward a little and he keeps the play going little by little upfield with every pass. For Alonso's one pass we had numerous passes from Lucas. Now with Lucas, those who weren't able to adjust to Alonso's absence and also the demand of better on the ball movement were found out. That was a shift in philosophy not many could adjust to".
Just read this on another thread, and I quite wanted to find the author and punch him in the fucking face repeatedly.
It's one of the most irritatingly shit, wrong and stupid things I've ever seen written about a Liverpool player.
