for me there's been to many injurys to certain players to give a constructive answer, cause just when a certain player comes back from injury, gets a few games an a decent run in the side to prove their place, they get fecking injured again! ie- skytel, yossi,aurellio, so over the past few seasons, i have just hoped a player can show consistancy in spirit, work rate etc to keep the side & balance right.
FWIW my honest opinion is though that Lucas has improved,but not enough on a regular basis,to claim the prize, i have always firstly thought he isn't good enough to be a regular first team player, but that's cause he had to try an fill alonso's boots, so the Lad was on a no win mission if you like,however in the last few weeks or so he has played well in some games,an it's gone un-noticed by many but that's just down to the fact that he isn't consistant enough throughout the whole game an week in week out.
i am still wanting the Lad to really change a game for us, score a goal even,but maybe i will just have to conseed that, that his not what he is about, he gives others the simple pass for them to do creative stuff etc, but he has certainly improved his alround game in his attitude etc which is great to see- long may it continue. he certainly hasn't recieved any stick from fans at recent games,i was at the Bolton game an when he came on he produced a great attitude an awarness of how the game was going an didn't put a foot wrong for me, an was given encouragement an applause that day for his display.
it's just in some games he still gives away silly free kicks,which can spoil a good perforfance otherwise,so i just hope he gets consistancy in his play,then he would defo win the prize for me.
