I don't understand why we've let him go and kept Lucas. I watched the City game the other day and over a 30 minute period in that game, I just watched Lucas - if you've never done it, try it. I did it a few times last season too - trying to see what he does for the team, wondering if I'm missing something that the manager obviously sees. Well anyway, in that 30 minute period, the first 22 minutes contained one header and just once in possesion where he quickly layed the ball off. In the remaining 8 minutes, he was in possession two or three more times, and once again, laying the ball off quickly. How the feck is that possible for a central midfield player??? How the feck is that possible for a "so called" holding midfield player whose team is on the back foot?
When they were in possession, he didn't attempt a single tackle. When we we're in possession, he somehow puts himself in a position where he's just a bad option to pass to, so the ball gets played elsewhere - and credit where credit's due, he blessed in skill at doing that. He never looks for the ball. He brings nothing to the table whatsoever.Roy's got rid of the wrong player!!!
, its just that some on here deified him as some sort of Lpool legend, which he was not.
