"What a good mood around the training ground! The lads looked all to laugh! Pleased to see Lucas involved in the training session, the return seems to be close! Keep working hard lad! YNWA"
"Squad for Wigan's game:
Pepe Reina,
John Flanagan,
Martin Skrtel,
Jamie Caragher,
Glen Johnson,
Raheem Sterling,
Steven Gerrard,
Nuri Sahin,
Suso,
Luis Suarez.
I've watched EVERY game, I know what I'm on about."
"yes good news, need to play the midfield three of Gerrard, Lucas, Sahin that has a bit more of a champions league feel to it than Gerrard, Allen, Sahin.. Allen is still a bit young to be a reliant centre mid"
"Dang, it's a good look to see Luis and Raheem having a close connections. I hope the kid will listen, and don't mind what he can do and what the media says about him. Raheem, listen to those old one, pay attention and learn more. Cause you still have a lot more hills to climb, before you can reach there. #YNWA #LFC"
"Welcome back Luc, and all the other injury players that been away the passed week and months. Meanly, Luc we missed you. The defensive play and midfield need your helps. You been away, means hell to some of our collective play at the back and midfield, I mean our team works and creative play.® #YNWA #LFC"
"The team is great now and we are going to win our next home match..Suarez more faith in you Sterling and Suso ur great to help him to score more goals we are going to win 3 goals to nill"
"In Suarez and Sterling we have in tandem an exciting attack unit. All we need to augment these two fine players is a clinical goal getter. With Suso coming to the fore recently we have a very exciting future for LFC. Once Lucas is back, we will see us propel to our rightful position. "
"How many fans gets a tingle when they see either Suarez or Sterling on the ball. Not many teams in the league can say that. We have potentially the two most exciting dribblers in the premiership. Get us a Defoe like striker and its light out. BR army is on the rise and its a thriller! "
"The last picture is the only blemish in the pile. To see Downer and Cole reminds me of the excesses of past years. They both should be thoroughly ashamed to be taking our hard earned money masquerading as footballers. I hear that Downer has been told he can leave in January, Cole and Hendo should follow suit. "
"back in training but not match fit put him in the reserves for about a month to six weeks then acess is fitness if he back to full fitness put him back in the first team dont try and rush him back or he will be injured again"
"Cheers lucas hope you are fit soon. bhudda thats true even if sterling and suso still have a lot to learn. Sterling is quite predictable at the moment... but he is on the right track for improvement tho. Been reading that he has been offered an improved contract, 25000 euro a week...he was on 2500 but according to the news he refused and is asking for 60000. "
"buddha131307 - The problem is that Suarez and Sterling are probably the only 2 players we have got in the starting 11 that makes me tingle. For you to say that other clubs do not have this is a joke! I will give you 1 example, Gareth Bale and Dembele for Spurs. "
"Good to see him back, one thing I've realised is that we're missing a DM. The underrated and unloved role that sits infront of the defence, helping the team recycle possession and break down quick counters before they hurt."
"Wonderful to see Lucas is back. We have missed this guy and his dertermination to break oppostion play. I also like the Sterling -Suarez little chatty picture. "
"I personally feel the the liverpool fans need to be a lot louder at anfield. Every time I go the away support are much more vocal. Get behind Lfc and it will show on the pitch..... It's no good having good players without good supporters WE NEED TO BE LOUDER FOR 90 minute and it will show on the pitch "
"Can't wait to see Lucas back in the starting line up. Although the most important part is making sure he has fully recovered. slowly easing him back in the team would be best for long term. Brendan should look at the way o nurtured and managed David Villa back into the team. "
"Yess Lucas!!! things are looking up at LFC, first Suarez puts the record straight about his future, now Lucas is back! Happy LFC fan right here!! Love the pic with Suarez and sterling too! Come on u reds!!! YNWA "
"Having said that we should also look for a strong defensive midfielder in January. Heavily relying on Lucas to come back to his best form would not be ideal. God forbid he gets injured again"
"Luis7?9, If Bale and Dembele gives you a thrill up the leg more than Suarez and Sterling? I suggest you are a Spurs supporter. Bale has gone backwards and Dembele is good but hardly a seat agitator. Suarez is by far and away the most exciting player in the league with Sterling fast coming up the rail. Tut tut sir!"
"We have the best back 5 in the league with Johnson proving to be the best attacking defender. With Lucas back we would have a formidable midfield of SG, Allen, Jonjo and Suso. Add the sumptuous pairing of Suarez and Sterling and sprinkle in our January attacker surprise; boy, it will be a time of joyous revelry at LFC. Rock on. "
"The reason I am more optimistic this season than last is simple. We now have at least 10 performing players. Whilst the jury is out on Sahin, whom I personally believe he will prove to be a smart deal, the rest have acquitted themselves very well. We have lacked a clinical striker to kill off teams. cont.."
"Last season Hendo, Adam, Downing, Spearo were poor. Yes there was the odd game where some of them performed but for their price and so called pedigree they represented a severe waste of hard earned funds. When you have 4 dysfunctional players in one team at the same time, its a recipe for disaster, cont... "
"This explains Suarez's profligacy in front of goal last season as he was virtually our only exciting player, creator and scorer, many times dribbling past 3 players and snatching at shots due to tiredness. This season although again our chief scorer, he is now ably assisted by Sterling, cont..."
"who along with Suso has been supplying Suarez with chances. He is not snatching at shots as he is not having to create every exciting move. You just can't have a team where 4 players are ineffective and then hope to do well. So it stand to reason that this season will pan out just fine as long as we add a striker to finish off the great work, cont.."
"So keeping things in perspective, we have had a tough opening fixture, having played 6 teams who were above us last season namely: Arsenal, Chelski, Everton, Newcastle and both Manchester teams - so I am optimistic we are going to go on a run starting Saturday. Get your helmets on, its going to be the ride of your lives :)"
"I keep seeing these negative comments about Joe Cole. Ironic as they are probably the same people I remember giving Lucas a hard time. We should support all players until such time as the manager decides they are not needed."
"Welcome back,Leiva!Now,I'd put him on the pitch for 15-20 mins in a 2-3 games as main BM.BR need to be careful,cause Lucas is our best BM.Keep going,Leiva!YNWA>"
"fab to see you back in training lucas we have all missed you on the pitch. hope when you come back you do not get any more problems with injuries.YNWA"
"Guys it brings tears to my eyes proudly watching my 11yr old son beat his old team 5-2 at the weekend, I hope the tears flow again 5 oclock sat after you have stuffed Wigan. Do it this time lads YNWA"
"Lucas is our balance-come back soon!
All those going on about the attack-yes, it needs improving, but it's an easier problem to solve than a woeful defence! One goal scorer more an d we should be O.K.
Sad to see Suarez not doubt being racist to Sterling! ;)"
"THE ONCE MALIGNED LUCAS LEIVA. ONCE THE WHIPPING BOY AND NOW HE'S WORSHIPPED. SURELY WE'VE LEARNT A LESSON. THE K***S WHO ARE CURRENTLY GIVING THE SAME TREATMENT TO BORINI, SAHIN AND JOE ALLEN, TAKE LUCAS AS AN EXAMPLE, GIVE THESE GUYS A CHANCE. "
"Life, I agree with your assertion on Borini and Sahin, as I don't put Allen in their category as its obvious he has been class, as they have played only a handful of games. Borini has displayed enormous energy and zeal and a goal will get him up and running but a vaunted player like Sahin has to produce soon or the Kop will get restless, lol"
"Let me guess, FSG won't buy in January but will induce in Rodgers some form of purile statement in their "defence" about having Lucas back as being "like having a new signing". FSG are running this club as if it was worth only what they paid for it; not like one they intend to improve."
"BUDDHA, I HEARD JAN MOLBY RECENTLY SINGING SAHIN'S PRAISES. HOPEFULLY HE'LL PRODUCE THE FORM HE SHOWED FOR DORTMUND ASAP. I AGREE WITH YOU ON BORINI ALSO. I SEEN EX RED MIDFIELDERS HOUGHTON, WHELAN + HAMANN PRAISING JOE ALLEN. THESE ARE EX PRO'S WHO HAVE PLAYED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. JOE'S A TOP PLAYER, HIS CRITICS BAFFLE ME. "
"Lets hope once Joe Allen has that protection of Lucas, we'll start to see a more offensive player. He has struggled the last few games, but IMO its cos the midfield has been totally unbalanced, and carrying a player. A settled,, balanced midfield will be a huge boost."
"There is not another player in the prem that breaks up opponent's play outside the area and pings the ball forward into feet like you do. You are unique. You are Lucas Leiva. You are LFC."
"G8 news. Well done my hero Stevie G on 100th appearance for England & milestone for Liverpool
Pls get on with your coaching Would love to see you as manager with Carra as Assistant best managers have come through the ranks in the meantimebring back King Kenny Rodgers is useless "
"Budda on point again. I am so please to see Lucas back. Right now I feel good about the team. I must say that everytime suarez, sterling, suso has the ball you know something will happen. Having said that shelvey for me should be starting, like him a lot."
"Love that picture of 'King Luis' and 'Raheem the Dream'.
Is Raheem telling KLS a joke?
Ya know maybe I'm imagining things but Raheem sorta reminds me a bit of 'Huggy Bear' from Starsky and Hutch in that photo :)"
"Lucas is one great guy, he looks so happy in those photos, good to see him back in training, it would be great to see him playing regularly again and regaining his old form again, also going on to play for Brazil in the next World Cup, I believe he could become another Dunga and captain Brazil. "
"OH MY GOODNESS!!HOW WE MISSED YOU...YOU BEAUTY!!WITHOUT ANY DOUBT EITHER LUCAS OR DAGGER OR SUAREZ SHOULD BE OUR FUTRE CAPTAIN OR MAY BE VICE CAPTAIN WHEN OUR LEGEND CARRA HANGS HIS BOOTS.YNWA!!(from lifelong red fan from tumkur/bangalore,india)"
"I pray u return stronger and better. Two serious injuries in quick succession are not easy to overcome.
But u have always been a strong lad, and u know YNWA!!!"
