Bro, Lucas is always in Rafa's plans because he has good qualities which our midfielders don't have - good distribution and an ability to get forward and link up the attack. So he complements Mascher very well compared to, say, Alonso, who doesn't have the same mobility or willingness to go forward.
Of course some fans like to criticise what Lucas lacks - he does lose the ball and he is not physically strong. But if Rafa wants someone like that, he would have paired Momo with Mascher and not sold the Mali player to Juventus. Let's try to see what qualities Lucas has than what he does not have. We have won many matches with the Mascher-Lucas combo.
Overall, a very difficult match last night and I was really impressed by Marseille's passing and movement. We sat too deep in the last 15 mins and should have really paid for it.
Stevie did well for us with his goals and so did Pepe with his saves. I thought Babel deserved a mention for his aggression both as winger and striker. If he continues to play like this, this could be a great breakout season for him.
