He still passes it too slow and gets taken on as if he wasn't there, but he's been much much much better.
More of the same please.

One thing for sure is, there is no rush to flog him now. Esp not at the last touted transfer fee of 4m in his latest link with Stoke City.
No, he's been a fucking cunt for three years.
And has played as many shit games as good games this season. So while he was all right today, he was worse than shit against Everton.
He's nowhere near good enough, and two OK games don't change that.

Uh oh. I've logged on to RAWK.

Only an 'all right' ?
I've never been a fan of Lucas, in fact I would gladly drive him to the airport myself...but today is the first time EVER, I've got to put my hands up and say - he was absolutely superb today.
If he keeps up this sort of performance, I actually don't mind him being in the squad. I did say squad, and not the first 11. Big difference there.

He's what he's always been, better than his most extreme critics claim but a f'ck of a lot worse than SQUAWK say. Keep him as a squaddie maybe, but we're going to need better than him starting regularly in the side if we're going to get back to the top.
He was good, & has been way better than previously. Credit where it's due.
Still, looked lightweight at times second half & still worries me occasionally.
We need better in our first team.

Rafa still ahead?

I thought he was class from minute 1 today.
And its been about his 4th or 5th cracking game in a row.

Spot on - long may it continue.

Budgie isn't doing badly either, let's face it.
If this carries on both of them will turn their Anfield careers around.

we're 9th

[/quote]One of the biggest critiscisms of him is that he doesnt go in whole heartedly sliding teeth gritted into 50/50's........keeps coming out of them with the ball at the minute though.
Given that he HAS been shit in the past 3 years its great to see him playing so well, and if he plays like that every game he should play every game.
Maybe that 3m wasnt misspent on Poulsen, it seems we bought us a new Lucas.

9th and hopefully rising.
5 points off 4th, with strengthening to come in January.

I thought Lucas was superb today.
This is what we should see week in, week out from a Liverpool CM, though, so he'll have to keep up this level of performance to justify an inclusion.
Good luck to him.

I think it's pretty clear that I'm talking about recent form.

'another' good game from lucas. is this his new level or is this a purple patch?
Great 1st half display. Was alright (like the rest of the team) in the 2nd. Credit to him, he did well today.
Still far too weak on the ball though, but at least he's learning how to win freekicks despite his lack of strength (seems to have added the Didi flop to his arsenal).

Going overboard a bit here maybe? You don't judge a Liverpool CM by how much he's improved but by how much influence he has on the game.
Good solid game from him (and for the past couple of games as well), but don't tell me he 'deserves' to be in the starting XI. He had about as much influence on the game as an average Gerrard and Meireles today and it speaks volumes about your calibre if your influence isn't particularly great even on your best days.
He's a always been a hardworking lad and it's nice to see him improve. But deserving a place in the Liverpool central midfield - no chance.

That's harsh, even by your standards.
