Brothers, i am kinda shock to see some british kops really backs lucas this much , taken from some article 's comment :
"Carra, Gerrard, Kuyt, have been shocking this season. Gerrard is the Captain! He should be leading by example.....no wonder we're performing so badly this season!
Lucas has been the most consistent player in the Liverpool team and fully deserves his starting berth. He is young and improving in every game. He has outshone Gerrard week in week out! Your narrow minded, blinkered opinion of him is purely based on the fact that you are so unwilling to criticise players such as Gerrard, Carra etc.
May i remind you that you were a "much of a muchness" player when you were plying your trade!!
Also, how dare you take a swipe at Insua, he's only a kid, this is his first season in which he has become the first choice at left back and like Lucas, he is still learning.
Ryan Babel has had his chances and never proved himself. He has no positional sense or spatial awareness when he is playing and he's just not cut out to play in the Premiership!"

that's the thing. he didn't always play while staring at his own legs. First time i saw him, I said to Duke and the rest in the pub that it was nice to finally have a direct attacking threat ala Robben, a winger who other teams would want to have on their team.
methinks the same is happening to Reira. Something in training is turning good direct talented wingers into muppets.
U made me recall upon the 1st appearance Babel made against Chelsea. I have the same thought " Finally we had a winger who would run at defenders and make life difficult for left / right backs. " But as u said , it's really a big let down. I think Babel should be able to make it big and i mean big time .
If babel's overated, i am quite sure coaches like Frank Rjikard who has a reputation , wouldn't even try to take him in and chase him over the transfer market.
