A big shout-out to Lucas Leiva for his incredible performance. He's not glamorous enough for many "fans" on here but he's selflessly played when and where asked and done it without moaning. He came to us as an attacking midfielder and I don't think he's played in that position for our club. He's always involved in off-field activities and loves the club. He can't have expected to play in the derby but, when picked, helped to neutralize the threats of Lukaku and Berkeley and it's not the first time he's been invaluable to us.
To me, he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Hamaan, Hyppia, Molby and Benitez as adopted Scousers.

Love the man, will be sad to see him leave as he still offers so much to our side when called upon.

Well said. Sickened me seeing the abuse he gets on social media sites when it was announced he was playing. How we always lose When he plays when its actually the exact opposite. We win more when he plays ( certainly in midfield) he doesn't have the dynamism of hendo but he has discipline, positioning and tenacity.

Lucas has been subject to abuse from fans on plenty of occasions. I remember him being booed when he was subbed on for Alonso once.

I have nothing but respect for Lucas.
