| GERRARD: SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR LUCAS Daily Post 15 May 2009 | |
| Steven Gerrard is confident Lucas Leiva can prove the doubters wrong and forge a successful career at Liverpool. | |
| Gerrard, FWA Player of the Year, has been impressed by the manner in which the Brazilian youngster has stepped in throughout the campaign. With Xabi Alonso absent at West Ham United on Saturday, Lucas was quietly effective in the central defensive midfield role alongside Javier Mascherano. The 22-year-old has endured some difficult times this season but Gerrard believes Lucas is consistently repaying the faith of Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez. "He's a young lad still learning his trade," said Gerrard. "He does a lot of hard work that goes unnoticed in this team by many people, but we as players notice it. "He's come in to a lot of big games where the manager has basically said to him 'it's sink or swim'. And for me he has swam. "He's done very well for us when he's been called upon, and he's certainly got a bright future here," he added. this may sound daft but i just wish ppl would stop slating him.i m not a big fan of him either but now i dont hv a heart to kutuk him anymore.he has been showing improvement which goes unnoticed of ppl just simply choose to ignore it. he may or may not be good enough for liverpool but he is only 22.he may not be at the same level as mr.gerrard was back when mr.gerrard was 22 but he cant get any worse now,can he?yeah u will probably say yes. he is a brazil international,was an attacking midfielder n won golden boot in his gremio time n when we were signing him man u were on the plane to brazil trying to sign him.please give the lad a chance. ok tu je.this post may sound remarkable silly after a few days when i get back to my normal me mode. | |

sori sis ...
ReplyDeleteon lucas ... i couldn't agree with you ...
2 season is enough to prove that you're a very good midfielder ... no matter you're brazilian or african or australian ... but instead from many2 games you're playing ... i can count with my fingers how many you play well ...
spearing is better than him although he only plays 2-3 games this season ... and also we lost guthrie simply because rafa want to test lucas more in the middle of the field ...
some of the game when lucas play ... it's disaster for liverpool ... i.e vs everton in FA Cup, vs wigan in EPL, vs chelsea in UCL ... very2 poor ...
for gerrard i understand his view because he's the liverpool captain ... kena cover anak buah lah ...
for me, lucas too lightweight to make the grade in EPL ... easy to be outmuscled by other midfielder ...
so better shipped him out n let him be more successful outside liverpool ...
or hopefully Barry sign for us and keep lucas on the bench for the whole season ...
even ESPN pundit, Steve McMahon n Paul Masefield said "he's in the wrong team!" ...
Rafa should treat his young player fairer instead just give the chances only to lucas ... why not sometimes try to subs spearing instead of lucas ... not confident with spearing? but why confident in lucas? as everybody knows how bad he's playing ...
what makes me puzzle this season are ... lucas were given too many chances but only perform in some of the games ...
attacking midfielder but always using back pass ... skrg ni br kurang sket back pass ... maybe dah tahu kot fans mmg tak suka game camtu ... n when lucas play as attcking midfielder ... Torres seems like in other planet!!!! playing alone upfront ... very2 poor support from lucas ... use your brain la lucas not your lutut ... IF you're unable to support Torres ... you should play as DM ... and let the job to support Torres done by Alonso or Masch in absent of Gerrard ...
sori sis ... i'm too dissapointed with lucas because he's not what Rafa n Gerrard said ...
imagine for 2 season ... for everyday lucas in training with Gerrard, Alonso and Masch ... but what he's doing? sleeping? i didn't want to compare him with Gerrard ... way too long to compete with Gerrard ... but at least he can provide competition with Masch n Alonso ... and he's not! he's also not came cheap maaa ... 6 mil pound ....
truthfully speak i'm totally worried when lucas in the team ... i'm more calmer if riera or babel plays ...
sori sis ... jgn mare yer ... just my two cent on lucas ... :)
i hv nothng against lucas but IF you're Liverpool midfielder then start acting like one ...
hey bro just listen to me for once la.did u even read my post?i didnt say lucas is a great player,did I? but for the sake of argument la i ll reply to ur comment...we all love to argue right..heheh
ReplyDelete1.i dont believe 2 seasons is enough for a player to show his true capability.well if u dont agree,arsene wenger agrees with me on this one.he once said it takes minimum 3seasons for a foreign player to fully settle down.well apparently this doesnt apply to torres n arshavin la.not comparing lucas with ronaldo here,but ronaldo too takes 3 seasons to become the ronaldo we know today.but dats because of course he is better than lucas la.
2. how do u judge that spearing is better than lucas over 2-3 games? spearing made his appearance when the games has already been won,so there was no pressure for him to deliver.n he's been playing in england since like,forever.
3.some of the games in which lucas plays r disaster.i ll just ur example here.vs everton fa cup:was lucas the only player that played bad?how bout other players?coz i remember someone said torres didnt perform particularly well either,so did other players we usually count on. vs wigan:he gave away a penalty as a result of an inexperienced tackle,but thru out the game he played ok.must blame carra,alonso,gerrard,etc also la coz they always play good but sometimes they score own goals for us,u see. vs chelsea: not very very poor,but not particularly good either.if masch was still in lampard would not hv been given that much space to score those 2 goals.but yeah,lucas is always the scapegoat..=)
4. gerard cover utk anak buah.last time kuyt got slated too.ppl used to say he's no good,no quality,headless chicken,etc.guess who came to his rescue then?rafa,gerrard,no doubt.if lucas cant cut in,rafa would hv sold him long ago,no?just like he did with keane,nunez,gonzales.but we'll see whats gonna happen this summer.
5.lucas too lightweight.benayoun anyone?i believe ppl said he will never be good enough coa he is lightweight.
6. i do believe lucas will shine in la liga or in serie a,if rafa ever sold him.if he does develop as gerrard n rafa say in a few years time (hopefully sooner rather than later),i can see he will develop into fabregas type of player.not to compare lucas with fabregas,but if he does develop,i imagine he will play in that team just like how fabregas plays for arsenal.but i know i wont agree with me on this one,will u? =D
7. rafa doesnt treat young players well? tell that to insua please.i cant read his mind,but i do believe he has been patient with them n waiting for them to be ready before incorporating them in the 1st team.n we r not sure yet if spearing can cut in the prem.he doesnt hv that special attribute either.his passing is ok,but he is just too small for a centre midfielder.masch is small,but he has other advantage to his game.
8.everybody knows how bad lucas plays? well in my humble opinion,u can only speak for yourself bro..org laen pendapat dorg mungkin beza..obviously rafa rase die bknnye bad player..
9.attacking midfielder that alwys passes backwards.how many times has he played as an attacking midfielder for liverpool? vs chelsea.i belive that time liverpool were playing in a formation close to 4-3-3.so alonso was supposed to supply ball to torres as well,no?alonso did play a little more upfront in the away game.in fact, the midfield was lucas-alonso-mascherano.why only blame lucas? mascherano is exclusively a dm,so an arguement whther or not masch had to supprt torres is irrelevant here.n i believe it doesnt matter..chelsea's extreme man marking n closing down the play itself didnt let we play our game.
10.so what if he trains with gerrard n co for 2 seasons?what does that prove?that he must learn something from them?oh i belive he is doing so as we speak.dont overlook his improvement even if the improvement is only cinonet je..i used to hate him for not even trying,but now at least he hs been showing some determination.bg can la skit bro..aurelio dulu hampeh gk ms mule2 dtg..n how do u know he is not what rafa n gerrard say he is?gerrard sndri ckp contribution die only players notice kn..personally,ak rs die nye positioning dh improve..wpun betol die xde that physical presence yg CM patut ade..n die dh makin furious ngn tackle..but perhaps bro x setuju la ngn sy...heheh
11.bukan lucas sorg je yg kite xleh compare ngn gerrard..gerrad tu kte xleh compare ngn sape2 pon kot..heheh alonso?pass master. masherano?one of the best dm in europe,if not the world.camne rookie cam lucas yg br sethn jagung nk bg competition sengit kt players cam alonso n masch? cam cicakman nk lwn superman je..heheh dats the real problem..ppl expect lucas perform BOMB nye sbb high expectation dr fans sbb liv nye midfielders sume high level nye..
12.start acting like 1? perhaps he is trying,perhaps he is not.but i believe he will get better,coz he cant get any worse..haha kl spearing yg ad tmpt lucas skrg,x tentu lg spearing leh provide competition utk alonso n masch.i dont think alonso will fall under barry in the pecking order,if barry were to come to liverpool la.alonso n masch r irreplacable...dorg top class,bkn player2 average..dorg cume leh di compare ngn players in same height as they are now, n these players are certainly not lucas n barry.although barry will be a preferrable choice over lucas if he ever comes to liverpool.
NO TO LUCAS ...
ReplyDeleteYES TO BARRY ...
NO TO ALONSO SALE ... hehehehe! :)
ulang blk yg kat atas...affirmative...hehe =D
