Its like having a new signing. He is excellent. His positional play has improved immensely. His ball control and general spreading of the play is really high quality stuff. Pleased he got a goal. He deserves it. Can see him having a great season. To be honest that game was really positive and I liked both systems. Really happy for raheem, big future ahead of that. Needs some meat on him first, but he is quality.
I agree....and think there should be a fair few shamed reds fans for the way his was treated earlier in his career!
instand success isnt always possible, we need to give some players time to grow into it!
*too many mistakes to care.....
People have a go at me on here because i dont rate Spearing or Flannagan one bit yet the same fans berated poor Lucas who since he has arrived at Anfield has always tried to play football.
The treatment of Lucas was appalling and how he didn't walk away i'll never know
It is just a shame that some fans allow hard work and being local to replace actually being able to play
Is Toure classed as a defensive midfielder?
TVJ - I always rated Lucas and saw his potential but I still disagree about Flanagan. He's a good young player and will only get better, at 19. Spearing is in a different category, he's already 23, 24 in November and won't get much better than he is currently.
TVJ/TOOR
is think it is a fine line and a lot to do with age. Ive disagreed a few times with TOOR on here but think he is spot on here. At 19 its very hard to judge however spearing will now not improve enough to ever be first team. However when we really needed him last year he stepped up and did a job for us, he gets my respect just like Mellor did (for example) but it is time for him to move on.
Carrick is the best. Lucas doesn't even come close.

I wouldn't say toure is a defensive midfielder anyway
YaYa isn't defensive midfielder. De Jong or Barry would be Lucas' peers and I'd take Lucas over both at the moment. I think Lucas is brilliant for us, and there's not much between tem but Song is the best in the league for me right now.
Jones is the next Baresi is a pipe-smoker.
Fellaini ain't a defensive midfielder either. He can defend,but he's got a lot more to his game than Lucas. I'd have De Jong over Lucas all day long.
de jong is a class player but he doesn't have lucas' range of passing. its close between those two
Lucas all day long, i like tiote tho he comes closest to lucas very similar.
De Jong? Really? Lucas is immense and will prove it this year.
The city game last year showed exactly what he is about as he absolutely schooled their midfield

You lot are so full of $hite,you wouldn't admit it if there was a better defensive midfielder. Like I said,Fellaini isn't a defensive midfielder (Christ he played up front for large parts of last season),so why is he on the on the list.

Because it was between him and Michael Carrick. And I think we all know who would win that battle
