Exeter, right? Ran round looking like a prepubescent teenager scared of his own shadow. 0% pass completion, zero balls shown.I thought Chirivella only got about 10 minutes last time he played.

Come on Mark that's harsh on Lucas, the lad has played better than anyone tonight and the referee gives a soft free kick against him which the team could have defended better collectively and you blame Lucas for the loss. It's not like he gave away a stupid penalty or played a bad back pass and was directly responsible. I notice there was no blame for the players who missed all the chances at the other end.

True enough. Clearly his abject shitness in those 10mins overrode all those MotM performances he'd been sticking in before that *winkyface*In 10 minutes.
It
is a dangerous position for any team when you have a player who can deliver like that
Where the fuck is Rosco when you need someone banned?Nail on the head.
I have said it before. Some members here HATES Lucas. It is not fantasy, it is a fact. They hate Lucas more than they love the club. That is also a fact.
Lucas played the best game one of our central defenders done for years. He is our best central defenders because he is a defensive leader and read the game excellent. He had no problem against much taller players in the air because he know when he should push a player in the box so the player can't control the ball.
Players like Sakho, Skrtel and Lovren have much to learn from Lucas.
If Mignolet had played a blinder and fucked up in the last minute of extra time he would get pasted. Lucas on the other hand everyone gets all defensive over
Yep.Where the fuck is Rosco when you need someone banned?
I don't want to come across as defending Lucas no matter what but it was noticeable tonight how much organising, encouraging and when needed bollocking Lucas did tonight. He was invaluable to the inexperienced players.
It's sad that a defensive midfielder that has seen better days showed the rest of our centre halves how to lead and defend tonight.
I hope that Klopp gives more chances to the youngsters as they have showed more bottle , desire and skill than most of the so called first team.

Stewart I'm still trying to get my head around. Is he actually decent or is it all a trick?
Can we stray Benteke? Like just leave him on the side of the road somewhere isolated on the way back?
Lucas gave away 4 fouls in 120 minutes it's not like he was racing around recklessly kicking everyone in sight. And we conceded from a set piece again which is a problem the team has not one player in particular.If you give a permanent place in your defence to a man who can't tackle, it's never going to end well. I have seen us give away so many goals over the years because of Lucas's inability to tackle properly, that I am just fed up with him. I agree that Lucas had a good game tonight, but the tackling thing is always going to let him down. He's not going to learn how to do it at this stage in his career.
The thing is that he makes it so easy for referees with the sheer clumsiness. If you look at Flanno's performance tonight, he was quite rough but he largely got away with it.
If Mignolet had played OK and fucked up YET A FUCKING GAIN in the last minute of extra time he would get pasted. Lucas on the other hand everyone gets all defensive over
Because average as Lucas has been in what 8 years ming has still has cost us more times than him in 2 1/2. It's one thing getting a harsh free kick called against you 30 yards out and another letting in countless soft goals.
Lucas is our leader and real Captain. He shows that everytime he play.
If Lucas gave away a freekick 50 yards from goal that they score from then some members would still blame him. That is not a joke.
