Everytime Lucas misplaced a pass the crowd near me were right on his back. On the other hand Mascherano gave the ball equally frequently, (not to mention the ridiculous 25 yard shots) and there was barely a murmur.
I agree with stmichael. The stick he is getting is incredible. His first misplaced pass in the second half was met with so much hostility that it was hard to believe that he was a Liverpool player. In no way was he the worst Liverpool yesterday.
Its got to the stage that he is getting blamed for everything. I went to the pub after the game where a pal of mine asked me whether I'd gone. When I said I had he said, "that bloody Lucas hey". I asked him whether he had gone or at least seen it on the box. He said he hadn't even seen it or heard any of the radio commentary.
In essence his reasoning was from hearing the team news before the game and once he heard that we hadn't won assumed automatically that the whole result was down to Lucas.
Its clear that the club will have to sell him in the summer. The lad will have to get away from our place to give himself a chance of any decent career in football.
Another thing I couldn't work out from the game yesterday was Bellamy getting booed. What was his crime? He signed for and played for the team of his dreams. Like most strikers under our current manager he was used intermittently and sold when he wanted to stay. I couldn't fathom out the booing.
