The lack of appreciation and understanding of his general play on here beggars belief. Football isn't all hollywood passes and tricks, flick and super strikes and vollys that fly into the top corner. His positional awareness is top class for the most part and an important attribute all on its own, more so than passing in his role, and only those who haven't a clue about the game would fail to spot this.

That is about the best post I have read on this thread, the utter posted by people like Kerry07 is bang out of order. Lucas is far more creative than people give him credit for but also does the unnoticed dirty work. He is a different type of player to Xabi but for some reason is always compared. Arsenal have been playing the same formation as us, put Lucas as 1 of the 2 in their side and maybe people would appreciate him for what he is.

I really cannot read any more of the b0ll0x being spouted on here.

unfortunately yes. And he's keeping a £20 million midfielder on the bench

With that said it isn't as if poor Lucas (and i do pity him as he is clearly over his head and out of his elements) chooses to be that limited...This is the player his abilities (or inabilities) are for all to see but the one man who can actuelly do something about it is the same man who plays him.

Again, Not Lucas ,only Rafa ,our manager is fixated on certain players that borders with obsession disorder.
