He's an exciting player of a type that Brazilian football hasn't produced too many of recently. Of late their central midfielders have tended to be 'holders' who sit and allow the full-backs to push forward.
Lucas is different. He's a big, blonde figure whose power and physical strength comes with attacking ability.
He can pass well and loves to rumble forward. He gets on the scoresheet both with blistering shots from range and from bursting beyond the strikers.

Hahaha. Core belief challenged. Like a Westworld moment.
No, a horribly inaccurate description of Lucas that has been trotted out and debunked thousands of times, based on that infamous Tim Vickery quote that has been posted above
Well, you'd think that those attacking instincts might have surfaced more over the years, despite playing as a DM. It would have had some negative impact on his attacking stats, but if he had such natural tendencies he'd have also popped up with the occasional moments of attacking class too.
Playing at DM certainly didn't stop didi from bombing up & occasionally scoring a few ace goals.
Just about anything can happen in the derby

Ha surprising as it may seem to you that is exactly what he was when he was bought and what he was sold as in the press.
Where are the quotes where he said that?
Ha, you saying it and it being true are very different things.
Can you point me to the quotes here Lucas says he not good enough to play that role for Liverpool?
I'm reacting with incredulity to your fucking posts that seem to suggest you think I'm unaware of what kind of player Lucas purported to be when he signed for us.
I know all this. I know all the quotes. If you think I'm going to provide quotes to help prove something I already know, you're even stupider than your reputation suggests
Of course the usual bluster about silencing the crowd in the first 10-20 mins rings true, especially after watching how fucking loud they became the other night against Arsenal the first time they won a fucking throw in or something.
But we can win this if we get at them on the flanks, and the left side of their defence. I suspect they’ll deploy McCarthy to provide cover for Baines against Mane, cos that’s where the threat’s coming from. Baines is fucking done as a top flight full-back – sure he can hit a free-kick/cross/penalty, but as a defending full-back – he’s one of the worst in the league. If Mane gets one-on-one then it’s murder she wrote.
Similarly, I’d play Firmino in the 9. He’ll drag that fucking kipper Funes Mori everywhere, and I’d far prefer to see Origi stretching Coleman and keeping him pinned back than Firmino.
We’ll get goals from midfield runners. Their back four will get stretched, so watch for Wijanldum, Hendo, Lallana arriving late from a square ball from wide.
Goals, goals, goals.

HAHAHA.
So you won't provide a single quote to verify your claim.
Excuse me if I don't believe your claim so as I've never seen that quoted anywhere.
You make it sound like those two are not a package. Can't have one without the other
Go dreamy, trolling a poster whose English isn't their native tongue. For info though. 3 points and the win is said by plenty of people.
So i'm with Hansern, it would be boss.
Yep, although equally I'd take three points and a draw.
Are you planning on going on a summer tour with this material mate? Need a bit more effort to put together a decent stand up show 😉
Lovren seems to struggle with one on one situations. He manages to get turned quite easily at times. Lakaku will probably try isolate him out wide and try turn him. I hope someone clatters that prick Miralles. Can we loan back in Jon Flanagan for the game?
Origi will be up against Funes Mori again. I hope Big Divock gives him a torrid time.
Surely Mike Dean was a red card or penalty in him for tonight. Hopefully we're on the right side of the decisions.

Fair point, but I would say his English is superb.
I've never heard that said before but fair enough.
Apologies Hansern
God i want to smash them so much, they'd fuckin love to put a massive dent on our title chances
Are we pulling the trolling card a bit too fast?
I am wondering on putting a bet on 3 goal handicap for Bitters and would be delighted for 3 Points and a "Draw" ;-)
