Particularly when Can was as shite as he was today.
Thought Lusas did alright. Yeah, he gave the ball away at times, but Can is supposed to be doing a lot more with the ball.
He was just running into blind allies or giving the ball away. He was also always 5 touches slow before releasing the ball. Very disappointing display from him.
It's why Henderson is missed when Can plays instead of him.Lucas is good at winning the ball back. But he lacks the technique to open the play. This is why we miss Henderson so much.

He wasn't really offering great protection for our defence though was he?Lucas was fine ffs, he was playing as a defensive midfielder. We missed Milners energy today, as Can doesn't offer any really.

Surely that's a pre requisite for a defensive midfielder.
That's not true at all. Lucas actually had a very good game (bar a couple of misplaced passes and getting caught on the ball once) and frequently spread the ball wide to both flanks with precision.Was Lucas really any better?
He barely got a ball to one of our players.
That's because more often than not he was isolated. Palace often had more players in that space in front of the CBs, especially first and last 20 mins.He wasn't really offering great protection for our defence though was he?

Can was very poor today, but can we stop sticking the boot in so much? He's played the most games in the squad so far this season, and he hasn't had a rest in ages.
He's still a very young kid, and learning to play the CM role. He'll be a fine player in good time.
Oh and Lucas despite what some of our deluded brethren might like to think was his usual shite pointless self- Disclaimer - although I'm sure Lucas is a nice lad and has the best interests of the club at heart, and avoids harming living things
After the international break, cannot wait to see him back in a red shirt, nappy n all...When's Hendo back? We desperately need him
Haha I think he's been choking a few of those over the years or caught a few being chokedI'm not so sure. Remember that time he was caught choking Allen's chicken at Melwood?
Yeah, we miss him.
I never ever want to see Lucas and Can together again.
So Can is good enough to play for Germany but not Liverpool?
