I think we missed Lucas too. The number of times they picked the ball up between midfield and defense was mental. I think id like to see
Reina
Enrique
Skrtel
Carragher
Johnson
Lucas
Gerrard
Suarez
Maxi
Carroll
Bellamy
Or
Reina
Enrique
Skrtel
Carragher
Johnson
Downing
Gerrard
Lucas
Maxi
Suarez
Carroll.
Or even
Reina
Enrique
Skrtel
Carragher
Johnson
Lucas
Adam
Suarez
Gerrard
Maxi
Carroll.
Basically Carroll up front. HELPING suarez.

The fact that you want Johnson to start over Kelly renders the rest of the post null and void.

Gerrard and Adam need to sort which one of them pressures the attackers and which goes forward to help. So many fucking times they both backed off or refused to go forward.
Fuck the haters. We missed Lucas
[/quote]
When you have 60% possession and have 29 attempts on goal, it's fair to say there probably wasn't too much wrong with the midfield.
Lucas would have added precisely nothing out there yesterday.
[/quote]
precisely
[/quote]
and? Possession means precisely fuck all. Its what you do with the ball. Suarez created 12 chances on his pissing own, the others fell to the wingers mainly. There was no drive or movement from gerrard and adam. They seemed hesistant to bomb forward or close down.
I'm sorry, lucas isn't the greatest DM in the world, but at least he gives gerrard license to roam, something we lacked badly yesterday
[/quote]
You're right it is what we do with the ball that matters, Gerrard and Adam use the ball much better than Lucas. [/quote]
Define "use better".
Cos if it involves giving the ball away more and playing less forward passes, then yes you're perfectly correct.

Ok - giving the ball away - probably. But less forward passes? Lucas passes forward more than Adam or Gerrard? You can't be serious.

I see sabermetrics and statistics have been replaced with made up shite. Good to know.
[/quote]
For someone who 'gets' football so much, your blindness with regards to Lucas (& Dirk) is mind-boggling.
They're both world class, I'm with you. I just hope the 'big money' teams (Real, Barca, Shitty, Manure etc) don't make any serious efforts to pry them away from us.

LeTall, I don't think I've ever seen you come out on top in a debate on this site ever. With anyone.
You just jump from topic to topic with your argument depending on what happened in the previous game, firing off blanks at will. You've got no main points, and are consistently wrong about everything.
It's a credit to you.

Ryan, your post about LTW may or may not be true, but your point about Lucas and forward passing is simply LOL.
Just L-O-FUCKING-L man, get a grip, you're starting to sound like Glock.

On the question of whether we can get 4th spot, from the weekends results I'd say it was anyone from 5 or 6 as no-one apart from City are showing any real form or consistency.
United have been spanked, Arsenal too; Spurs got off to a bad start, Chelsea are misfiring due to discipline problems, we're stuttering as a new team does.
It's a lottery. Nine games in is too premature to either make predictions or lose hope.

Lucas doesn't create anything, both of them do.
In his last game Lucas played 0 passes into the final third - and that's not unusual.

[/quote]Not for me no, but we've all known each other for manys a year now and i think the best parts of Ryan are what he became and the parts you probably ought not be proud of were left behind as the impetuousity of youth.
Same can be said of many chaps on here.
You know like when some woman is leaving her man or some mate is shaking his head at his annoying friend and the dumped fella or annoying friend is all like 'Why why I havnt changed?!' well yeah, thats kinda the point. How sad it is to not change from when you are a young man, how sat to not WANT to change, not WANT to be a better person. Like people see it as something to be proud of 'Not changing' as if they were perfect to begin with. Pretty sad.
I want to change for the better today and the next and all the days after that.
Being the person you always were is pretty fucking pathetic really.

You know like when some woman is leaving her man or some mate is shaking his head at his annoying friend and the dumped fella or annoying friend is all like 'Why why I havnt changed?!' well yeah, thats kinda the point. How sad it is to not change from when you are a young man, how sat to not WANT to change, not WANT to be a better person. Like people see it as something to be proud of 'Not changing' as if they were perfect to begin with. Pretty sad.
I want to change for the better today and the next and all the days after that.
Being the person you always were is pretty fucking pathetic really.
