He's not a good player, he's a mediocrity wrapped in shit

Lucas is a good player. It's pointless arguing with you on this, because you've your mind made up on his performance before a ball's kicked in any game he's about to play.

For a CM for LFC no he is not.

Or perhaps it suggests he's willing to consider a players objective merits without being unduly swayed by the teams current malaise.
There's no way Lucas has been our worst performer this season and in my opinion he's progressed some more from last term. He appears stronger on and off the ball, his movement is good, he makes himself available and his passing is accurate (if not incisive enough at times).
The main criticism of him is that he can't do an "Alonso" and dictate the pace of the game or spray 40 yard passes about. That's not Lucas' fault - he's simply a different kind of player (Alonso doesn't have the pace of Lucas either).
Lucas is more of a holding midfielder in the mould of Flamini for Arsenal a couple of seasons back. He might not have Masher's "bite" either, but then Masher doesn't potentially offer as much offensively (although he's improving that aspect of his game).
The biggest problem with Lucas is that he's being asked to play alongside Masher, game after game. Sure, against the big teams they form a destructive core in midfield to prevent our rivals playing their natural game - and we do well for it. But against the majority of teams we face who park the bus we're left with two deep lying, protective midfielders, and little creativity. The gap between midfield and attack is simply too big.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing Aquilani alongside Lucas almost as much as alongside Masher. I think we'll begin to appreciate what he brings to the team more so then - providing Aquilani proves able enough offensively.
I'm not saying we can't do better than Lucas - we can - but he's certainly a lot better than most give him credit for. He's continuing to improve (yet still young) in a struggling team, playing alongside a player that doesn't complement his own strengths.

Ha, maybe with regards to Lucas only then!
My general point still stands. I think Lucas is unfairly treated by most.

I see Ryan's still spouting his usual bullshit and still backing his darling Lucas here since the last i visit this forum. No surprise there children.
Aquilani will probably start tonight and if he doesn't then there's something with Rafa. He needs to play at Gerrard's position and we'll see the true Aquilani.

Unsubstantiated rumour from TLW about Aquilani: one of the reasons he hasn't played much is that he has been consistently shit in training.
Oh dear.
Oh dear.
Which is a bollocks rumour, as it contradicts every report, player and coach statements out there. Aquilani has been very good in training according to everything printed and published. His fitness levels has been the main concern.
I doubt Gerrard would have said how impressed he's been, if Aqua was a bag of shite in training.

Which players would that be?
Degen, Dossena, Voronin? Can't remember any positive comments tbh.
Either way, starting a rumour isnt exactly difficult. I could start one now on TLW, and say I've heard it from a *source close to the club*.Shite things like this, is something new players dont need while adopting.

A worse rumour to start while adopting would be that he's a kiddy-fiddler or something

Of course, it wouldn't be like Rafa to sugar-coat one of his turds, would it?
I don't buy into any of these rumours particularly but I found Rafa's "He scored a great goal in training" comments the other day a bit cringeworthy. If he's doing so well, show a bit of confidence in him when it comes to match day FFS.
There's no point telling us how great he is if Lucas is keeping him out of the team. Actions speak louder than words and all that.

Perhaps Rafa's looked at Aquilani, decided his eyes are too close together, and doesn't trust him.
