Lucas only had to make that tackle because Milner had lost the ball so poorly ( MIlner having his worst game of the season by far) and the same fuckers who are having a go at Lucas for fouling would have been even more pissed off if he'd have missed the man and allowed a counter attack.

True. But any other player would have been quick enough to be able to keep possession & not have to resort to blocking the man & getting the free kick instead.

Lucas' lack of pace is a big problem.

It was actually a good foul and on Milner. Agree.

Any other player? Like Can maybe who makes lucas look like usain bolt and wijnaldum tonight who just couldn't be arsed and did absolutely nothing. Lucas is no more than a squad player but the rest of them are supposed to be first teamers so what's their excuse?

Really?

That's like blaming Firmino for missing a cross because he's not 6'2.

Lucas did really well in that instance.
 
Really poor display.

This result wouldn't have seemed so bad had we beaten Plymouth...now we can safely say the decisions Klopp made didn't work out.
 
I do get frustrated with Firmino when balls are whipped in the box.

A DM either needs to be savvy enough with the ball to avoid having to do that, be quick enough not to have to, or string enough for it to not be an issue.

Is it his fault? No. But lucas should not be playing in a side in the semi finals of a cup. Unless it's the Johnstone Paint trophy.
