Lucas Leiva

2-3 years ago I would have agreed that Lucas is average and that he should just be sold. Last season though he really came into his own and this season he's even better.

The turnaround is pretty incredible really. He's gone from an absolute joke to by far Liverpool's best player, and arguably the best holding midfielder in the league.

I thought Zaragoza was cooler than Gijon?!

Can't hack it on a rainy night in Bilbao.

As crap as Leiva is, he is probably at the level of Aquillani, or whoever plays there for AC.

Good point. Well, it would have been, had anyone said Aquilani was the best midfielder in the league, which they hadn't, so once again your contribution is irrelevant.

No doubt Liverpool's best player. Appointed "Player of the year" last season in Liverpool and he just gets better and better. People who claim that he is mediocre knows absolutely nothing about football, that is a fact.

Some people only notice offensive players and goalscorers, unfortunately.

hopefully he won't be out for too long .. Liverpool need him more than any other player ..

who seriously claimed that Lucas Leiva is the best midfielder in the EPL?

Proof then that you don't read anything in context. Also explains your style of crow-barring posts into threads.

Really try reading kid.

By definition, Lucas Leiva cannot be claimed to be the best midfielder in the EPL. Irrespective of context.

Such a claim, can never be serious.

I did. Note I said central midfielders. Not attacking midfielders, not defensive midfielders.

Who is better? I can only think of Yaya who is as good as him.

He's the best DM in the league.
