Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva hopes fans appreciate his recent form.
Lucas accepts that he rarely attracts the headlines - the lot of a defensive midfielder whose emphasis is on doing the hard graft and less glamorous work.
He said: "A striker can have a very quiet game, then score a last-minute winner and he's the hero.
"It's not the same for those who play in midfield or at the back.
"I'm not a player who people from outside the club pay much attention to, but I know what I offer the team."
