    He is just a wonderful, lovely fella. Met him twice and he was so warm. You should always appreciate players that become part of the club, part of the city. Buy into it or fall in love with it genuinely.They are rare, we are lucky that Liverpool has had many. Just look at Jan for example.

    Totally agree, he was such a monster under Kenny till his ACL ruptured against Chelsea. He made the likes of Spearing and Adam look good playing in a 2-man CM! That side with Suarez, Kuyt and Maxi roaming around looked so good at times. Lucas was 100% the anchor and imo the best DM in the league at the time, reminded me of Kante in his prime with the ground he covered and his ability to just sweep up everywhere and outbattle people larger than him. Never fully recovered his pace and tenacity afterwards, which was a big loss considering he was never the most technical player either. Massive shame.

    ​@gerrardsmiceralonso sorry best in the league? He wasn't better than Jon obi mikel, Michael Carrick,Ramires,Essien. Mascherano,Gareth barry. And I'm a liverpool fan and have missed out lots of other players Your memory's playing tricks with you. He became a fan favouite because he got over a difficult start and had a first class attitude but he wasn't the best defensive midfielder in the premier league

    @@TORRES999ify I'm speaking very specifically about his form under Kenny here before his cruciate gave out, At that point Mascherano had left the league, Essien was injured and on the way out, Carrick I'll give you but tbf I don't really see them as quite the same kind of player. As for Ramires/Barry we'll just have to agree to disagree, Barry had the better career, and Ramires had more strings to his bow, but at that point I would've definitely taken Lucas over either of them as a no. 6. If anything I think his closest competition was Alex Song at the time. I know that sometimes there's a lot of revisionism about certain fan favourites, Lucas wasn't that great to start with and was a squad player long before the end. But I will stand by the fact that his knee injury cost him dearly. His peak was short lived, but for around a year I think he was genuinely world class. After his return to injury he went back to being a mid-table player at best though.

    Absolutely loved Lucas and was gutted when he left, although we knew it was coming. A shame about the heart condition and that he had to retire as I'm sure he still had a lot to give in his last 9 months at Grêmio. To me, he'll always be a legend, at the very least a cult hero and he was an excellent player at times. As well as a top guy.

    I'm an Aussie who has been a Liverpool fan since 1978 and I feel like Lucas was like many other midfielders who were judged by Stevie's or Xabi's standards in that era and deemed wanting by many fans - only to then go on and have great careers for our club. Gave everything on the field for us and should be remembered as a terrific Liverpool player.

Cruel injuries when he was the best DM in epl by some distance. Lucas also 'reveals' from his perspective (as a player) what we, as supporters, feel about Rafa, Sir Kenny & Jurgen and the teammates he mentioned Thanks Lucas for everything you did for LFC.

    Lucas has the second most tackles in Premier League HISTORY, only Gareth Barry (English Alonso) has more and that's only since Barry's played 405 more games than Lucas. Lucas led the Premier League in tackles per game five times in six seasons between 2010 and 2016, he only missed out one year due to long-term injury. His work rate was crazy, always always always showed heart out there. He's also the Brazilian with the 3rd most Premier League appearances.
