He absolutely is. His main problems are that he is young, not physically imposing and very inconsistent. He has had games where he completely takes over the midfield and distributes well. But for every one of those it seems he has 2 or 3 bad games. He seems to be technically sound, but lacks in maturity and real experience.

In my opinion Alex Song has become the best at this over the last 2 or 3 years in the EPL but Lucas is more than capable of doing the same.


I think Lucas is the best DM in the EPL. His passing still needs work, but defensively he is a rock. Most tackles in Europe last season and the most tackles in Europe this season until he got hurt. I am fairly positive he still has the most tackles on the team (even though he has been hurt for what...5 months? -- that stat was through like 3 weeks ago though..someone may have eclipsed him).

Maybe. I can accept that over the year or so before his injury. The problem is that is too small a sample size and he was very poor his first few years in England until he caught up to the pace of the game. If he was just a little bit faster I think he would be a much better player, he reads the game so well but just can't cover that much ground.
