Liverpool boss insists more to come from Lucas
06:00 PM 06 March, 2010
Liverpool Football Club coach Rafael Benitez is convinced there is more to come from Lucas Leiva.

The 23-year-old midfielder has had many critics since his move from Gremio in the summer of 2007, yet he has appeared in all the Reds Premier League matches this season.

Lucas has revealed how he feels he is finally winning over the Anfield crowd, and this has been backed by Benitez who believes the player will continue to improve.

"I know he can improve so much more," he told LFC Weekly. "When I was talking about him before he signed, I was telling people we were signing the captain of Gremio - and he was only 19.

"That means something. You do not captain teams in Brazil at such a level at that age if you are not a strong character with a good mentality. Hopefully he will continue to grow with us."

I fail to see how what this guy brings to the side that makes him such a certain starter, his passing range appears to be about 4 yards to the left or right his shooting is non existent near half of his tackles result in free kicks which makes him a defensive midfielder who is a liability. His pace is lack lustre for a young brazilian he is weak in the air I mean it's like a joke with no punch line. What is it that I'm not seeing here?

Benitez must be crazy to think that this idiot can actually play football. He is the worst player ever to wear a Liverpool shirt he is a very good contender to the prize of being the worst ever to play football. This idiot actually makes Djimi Traore look like a very good player. I think this is the begging of the end for Rafa.
