Lucas Leiva vs Essien(atm)

Brigate Rossonere wrote:All Lucas does is pass the ball sideways and occasionally win a tackle. No technical ability, not an attacking threat and not much of an asset in any aspect in the midfield.

Would take an out of form Essien over him anyday.

LOL.

You got it all wrong mate

First of all

RED - He use to 2 years ago, Yes.
GREEN - ROFL , No he is the best "tackler" in the epl along side De jong.

And about the Attacking threat - Lucas is a PURE DM , While Essien is a CM. Lucas is ok in attack and awesome in Defense

While Essien is awesome in attack while balls in defense.

The comparison is wrong due to the specialty within normal midfielders. The thread just says which one is better? which is stupid. An ability should be taken into consideration, then comparison of two players should take place.

@ mars: Leiva is basically the Liverpool version of Mikel.

alright poorly worded, what i meant was he's playing the best football of his carear atm and is approaching his prime

Mikel vs Leiva would of been a better thread imo.

Then again, you'd only have LFC/Chelsea fans in here.

Better than having man united fans hanging around

That's a great point.

how about madrid fans
