lol reading n liverpool

I wasn't, I was moaning about the inconsistency of the referee. Whaaaaaat?! Who is there, Gerrard, Torres and Ngog once? It's not like they do it every week, which is pretty much what Drogba and Ronaldo were doing.

Reading played very well, as a Liverpool fan I wouldn't take a single thing away from them. Ngog is not an average player, he's a young player who is still learning so to judge him right now is harsh. Insua again is young (20) and has played more often yes, but again lacks maturity. As for Lucas its impossible to comprehend how much he's come on since Alonso left. He's being molded in the form of Masch and although he's nowhere near that class he does the job relatively well.. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with the 3 players you picked out. Infact I wouldn't necessarily say there's anything wrong with any single one of our players on their own merits, it's just that right now the team is not playing to it's high levels and it's evidently very noticable.

And a final note: i'm gutted. I foresaw something happening in the 90+ minute and it did, so I can't say i'm shocked. Story of the season tbh.

The reason they aren't playing well is because of the points i stated. To many average footballers knocking around at a club like Liverpool. Most would agree Lucas is an extremely poor player and not worthy of playing in the centre of the midfield for a club like Liverpool. How you can say hes doing a relatively good job is beyond me. You've lost 12 games this season I'd say he is one of the major reasons why you're having such a poor season.

This is the first season i have had with nothing to luck forward to with benitez, last year the league etc.. thats why im willing to give him another chance.

Once again Lucas being made a example of, when really Gerrard has been worse than him this season oh and that clown kuyt.

i would laugh but then i member we lost to leeds.

Having watched or listened to almost every match we've played this season, I can categorically say that Lucas has not been the worst player on that pitch for Liverpool every game. He has done the job he is out there to do with relative success and he is improving. Infact the other night I thought he was one of our best players (what that says about how our other players were doing is besides the point) he has put in some right shifts for that team. He isn't that technically gifted but like I said he tries his hardest and considering that whenever I saw his name picked last season I died inside, and this season he doesn't bother me at all, that must signify some sort of improvement. Last season he deserved the stick he got, but this one in the absence of Alonso he has needed to step up, and as a holding midfielder he has.

that's why it's hard for lucas because he's compared with alonso. alonso was one of your best players and although i wouldn't say he's an amazing player or everything he held the team together and complimented those around him. like when england were doing rly well with heskey and rooney, heskey isn't great but he compliments rooney and makes the team perform better.

liverpool miss alonso and that aqualani (no idea how to spell) isn't going to make things any better either

Agree with both of these. Lucas does show signs of improvement now and again, it's just the consistently that is the worry. But he's not that old yet so he could easily improve substantially.

And I miss Alonso .
