Liverpool's Lucas can't explain Birmingham draw

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 11/10/2009 - 03:46

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva admits the players are at a loss to explain why they couldn't overcome Birmingham City last night.

The Reds dominated throughout a one-sided clash at Anfield, but needed a late Steven Gerrard penalty to salvage a point after goals from Christian Benitez and Cameron Jerome had cancelled out David Ngog's opener.

"We are asking ourselves why we aren't winning matches, but sometimes you don't have the answer," Lucas told Liverpoolfc.tv. "We created lots of chances; we had all the possession and did almost everything you need to win a football match.

"We played with intensity and quality throughout the 90 minutes. We tried our best but the third goal just wouldn't go in.

"All we can do is train hard, keep going and try and change the situation as soon as possible.

"We must stay positive. Maybe the international break will be good for us. We will get some players back from injury and hopefully everyone will be fit to play against Manchester City."

Because you're not going to get more than a penalty every game and you spent all your money on that joker Johnson, it's a good job you've got a good goalie or it could be worse!

Lucas needs to shut up. Part of the reason Liverpool are so poor at the moment is because having him in the team is like playing with 10 men. He is NEVER available for a pass, he hides behind the opposition. An absolutely useless player.

The only reason anyone would disagree is because they're trying to make out like they know more about football than other people because they can 'spot' things in a player that others can't. Idiots. He is one of the worst players ever to pull on a red shirt.
