Yes, particularly with Liverpool's shit defence, if he comes on as fresh legs for the last 20 minutes, he'll run rings round them.


Run rings you say.

You'll need Scotty P for that dear fellow.

EDIT: Spam?...c'mon, please. I'm more of a sliced beef kinda guy.

let's not let new player fan love cloud logical decisions. Until he gets the team press or has match fitness and understanding of what's required he shouldn't play.

it's the right thing to do. Imagine if his lack of tracking led to a 90min winner for pikeypool fc.

Surely a professional player can at least run for 15 to 20 minutes.

You sound like Harry Redknapp. He'll have barely had a training session, know our tactics, what's expected of him during attack, transition, defence etc. Far more involved than running.

I already hate him a little for the years of rubbish tabloid head lines we are going to see.
"Lucas give's Mauricio Moura options"

I always resented Robbie for the same reason.
"Spurs Keane to end trophy drought".

I imagine it's the same type of feeling as when I ask the Mrs what's wrong and she says "nothing" but clearly I did something to her in a dream and haven't apologised.

I believe he has had only 6 starts all from the bench so he certainly won't be up to full match sharpness yet plus the physcality of the EPL it will take him a while to adjust.

We have a dynamic player who could really help the team....and he’s opting for sissoko ahead of him

It does not sound like he has even been on the training ground with the team as of yet, may or may not be match fit since he has not been playing at PSG and has not had time to learn the tactics/positioning behind our press, so let's just throw him out there and see if he catches on.

This has been his season so far. Last time he got close to a full game was last May.

The key to a happy marriage is not caring enough to ask in the first place.

I've got into the habit of letting a silent but deadly rip when we're in bed or on the couch and not saying anything. I then give her a look to acknowledge that she knows that I know that she knows.

I am winning this cold (or slightly warmer) war.

On the contrary, you are underestimating him. He is surely super-rested and buzzing from energy.

I can’t imagjne Moura would be played in the position Poch utilises Sissoko. So your comment doesn’t make much sense.

Has the Lucas signing excited the squad? Poch: "Exciting? No. We signed a player that is not playing at PSG, he has not competed for 7 months. Of course he's an exciting name for our fans. But it's different to signing Neymar, Messi or Ronaldo."

Ha! I can see it now. He won't be in the next few squads and fans will start saying Levy has bought a player Poch didn't want or some shit :rolleyes:
