I think lucas is unfortunate in many respects - 1. he gets compared against three of the best CMs in the prem if not europe 2. He isnt from liverpool (if he was he wouldnt get any of the stick he gets these days ) 3. He cost 6 mil ( which is nothing compared to 18 odd mil for players like anderson nani and other youngsters that are bought ) 4. He was Brazilian League Player of the Year and is expected to play like other players that have won that award .
He is maturing as a player and last number of games has played very solidly and can only get better .
Do you mean apart from giving away dangerous freekicks and the occasional penalty, and genrally running around and loosing the ball!!
He is a young lad still learning his trade - plenty of players make mistakes and do what you say - even the great gerrard has done plenty of them .
He has given away one penalty - ONE Penalty - but lets balance that out against one he has earned shall we . He gave away a silly free kick but lets not mention other players giving away free kicks shall we .
Look, as with almost every other aspect of football we are going to have to agree to disagree, I think Lucas is sh1t, whilst you, I'm assuming on the basis that Rafa your Lord and saviour picks him, must be the next big thing.
At least we agree on one thing, and it is the most important thing, that Liverpool is the greatest team in the world.
