Shallow because he's a Brazilian international? Hmm. I'm sure.
I hardly think it's a shallow opinion, he offers so little it's painful. Perhaps he looks a different player when playing for Brazil, I'm not a Brazil fan so only watched them in the World Cup, which he didnt play in, presumably due to his form for us.
The Lucas I've seen week in week out would struggle to get in the England squad never mind the Brazilian squad.
To address your point as a whole, it seems to be that because I'm not a manager of a football club that I'm not in a position to make a judgement on a player. In which case I'd question the existence of this forum or any other forum that talks about our club & players. We're all entitled to an opinion, admittedly perhaps a 16 year old lad who'd never seen us play in our heyday or someone who only gets to judge us on poor quality streams beamed halfway round teh world may have an opinion that could possibly be deemed lesser due to lack of experience, but it's still dangerous ground.
I can assure you I am neither of the above & I have stood in the Kop & since it's demise & Sky's gutting & glamourisation of our national sport paid extortionate prices to attend the game long enough to have earned my right to judge a player. It's an opinion, we're all entitled to them, & forums exist purely for us to put that opinion across, to suggest I dont have the right to is ill-thought out at best, puerile & petty at worst.

ive stood on the kop
ive managed a team
ive traded hundreds of thousands on football betting over the years.
which one would you honestly think makes you a better judge??
imo standing on the kop contributed the least.
managing gave you more of an insight as to what fans dont really see
betting gives you a far wider perspective about footballers especially in the age of tv coverage of foreign leagues.
