With all this talk about Gerrard coming back and him potentially doing his coaching badges, does anyone else think that Lucas appears to have all the characteristics that would make him a great manager?

His reading of the game is in my opinion way above the level of most players, in that he perceives plays as if he is watching the game from a camera that covers the whole pitch while he is playing at the incredible pace football is played in the EPL.

His character is that of someone who leads by example. He is always composed so he can definitely handle pressure and appears to be one of those rare intelligent footballers.

I know he still has a lot to offer as a footballer and it'll be a few years before he has to make a decision on whether his future will continue to be in football, but I just wanted to know what others made of this.

No i don't think lucas would make a good manager i think he is to much of a nice guy i think to be a good manager you need to have abit of a ruthless streak in you specially when you have to deal with some of these modern day pre madonnas. Maybe a good coach but for me no as a manager.

Its hard to tell these things in advance. I heard Ferguson saying once that if he had to guess who of his players would become a PL manager he would have never in million years guess Mark Huges and Steve Bruce.

Ha ha. he was nearly right. They are both shocking! How steve Bruce gets a job I will never know!

You can simply never tell. You can analyze and look into your crystal ball, as much as you want, but you can never tell how good a manager, a player will be, until he's in charge. But football history is littered with phenomenal players who simply had no clue as managers. I would mention only Diego Maradona, Ossie Ardiles, Souness and Hristo Stichkov, as a few that come to mind. On the flip side, who would have guessed that the translator that Bobby Robson hired at Barcelona would be the "special one" (Jose Mourinho), today? If you were to ask the "most talented player and influential manager" of our times, I would immediately say Johan Cruyff. Aside from unquestioned world class talent, the man influenced the Dutch style of football for decades, and brought that style to Barcelona as player and coach, and made it what it is today.

The vast majority of professional athletes working at the top tiers of their sports take performance enhancing agents. They constantly update those agents to their newest version which will be undetected. If anyone is surprised or feels betrayed by this then they haven't been paying attention.

Sakho has rubbed the wrong people the wrong way with his statements and behavior for years. I imagine that is why he is being singled out. IMO we should stick by him and deal with the situation internally rather than in the public eye where we'll be forced to sacrifice him to maintain pretenses.

{Ed001's Note - hahaha this is so far off the mark it is embarrassing. Many players are caught by their own FAs, but it is covered up. UEFA very rarely catch anyone, for numerous reasons, but Sakho has been fairly caught, the only question is whether it was knowingly imbibed or a genuine mistake.}

If we had the squad for it I would have us play everyday. Don't you enjoy watching our team play Lfc forever? ;p.

Why should anyone that shows no signs of improvement be afforded more time in our team - thereby limiting Origi's chances, who in my opinion is improving by the game? Also, with Ings coming back next year I do not think there will be room for Christian in our squad.

Additionally, if we adopt Benteke's preferred style of play as our plan B we'd need every player in our team to play in that way.
We do not have the players to put in early, accurate crosses and even if we did we'd have no one else to head them in but him. He'd be marked out of the game, which does not appear to be a difficult thing to do, and that would be the end of that.
Then we'd also have to accept that our more technically gifted players would in all likelihood look to move on.

In my opinion counterattacking with directness and maintaining possession while patiently building-up to score should be our plans A and B, irrespectively.

Lastly, supporting players simply for wearing our colors without taking their efforts and abilities into consideration guarantees that the club will not learn anything from their mistakes and will thus only repeat them. After all, when your child does wrong you don't encourage them for being your offspring but reprimand them so it won't be repeated.

Sturridge has gotten injured before while at international duty as have a lot of players. In this particular situation though, my opinion, the people in charge of team selection don't seem to care much about the footballers, as they showed in the case of Rossiter. Also, I am not sure how he will learn anything useful with Hodgson's tactics.

I'm a non-English Liverpool supporter who in all honestly doesn't believe England is going to achieve much in the Euros, so I wouldn't want him to play. I would rather we send him on an early vacation somewhere warm and then begin his training earlier so that he is in top-form for next season.

{Ed001's Note - I really do not care about England in the slightest, but it is for the player and club's benefit that players play for their countries.}
