Fair enough, you have you opinion and I respect it, but that is moronic.
I see where you are coming from with this, but I'd compare him more to a Mascherano than a Lucas. His technical ability is far better.
He is not as good as Mascherano defensively but he is better than the Argie on the ball and in the final third. Irrespective of that, the Lucas comparison is bonkers.
An average game nothing great. And not poor either. Bit much to credit him for the goal though
Average game. Only highlights that I can recall was that lazy pass to another red shirt intercepted by Dier or Henderson(?). And then this straightforward direct pass to Morata to start a counter leading to Aspas' goal.
But, he stabilized the midfield with his workrate and movement. Busquets and Thiago, I thought, were just awful as the pivots.

As I said on the previous page, I'm not comparing their playing styles directly. I'm comparing the fans over-inflated opinion of him and the praise he gets for nothing.
Certainly not doing anything to disprove my average and a hacker opinion though. Last game for United, he was average and sent off, last night he was average for Spain and Eric Dier claims he elbowed him in the face in an off the ball incident.
Miles better than Lucas.
I think the opinion around him is seen to be inflated because of how complimentary he is to Pogba and the mentality he brings to the holding role which we've lacked for a few years. Many posts speak less of his technical abilities and more of his bravery and attitude.
Also not sure how he was average in the last game. The entire team was brilliant for the first 45 mins and we had Burnley penned in their own third. There is little a holding midfielder can do in such situations but he was fine whenever called upon and was incorrectly sent off. To suggest he gets praise for doing "nothing" is a more exagerrated assertion than the praise he actually gets.
You'll need to stop waiting for his call/text and start watching him play for us.
At first I thought that the mods trademarked the worst post in the thread here.
Man Utd 1:1 Arsenal
Very good pressing out there.
He might not have the armband but he certainly seems to Mourinho's leader out there.

He's a nasty, annoying little cnut isn't he? And he's ours 
Closest thing we've had to Keano in years.

Mr. Manchester United
So tenacious, but has real technical ability about him too, gem of a player.
He's absolutely magic.
what a player. what a fecking player.
It's criminal how van Gaal wanted to change Herrera and take away everything that made him so good.
The kind of player you'd see in Simeone's Atletico team.
Been excellent, today and in general this season.
Excellent. Excellent.
Been great all season. tenacity and technical ability to back it up.
Brilliant as always. Always steps it up in big games
Love this dude.
Bossed the game, always in the right place!
Another brilliant game from him.
What happens with the red card? Is he going to be suspended? When?
Red card?
He was banned against Swansea.
Against Burnley. Got 2 yellows.
He has served the one match ban already. Pay attention lad.
He looked good with a bit more freedom to roam knowing Carrick was there. His versatility brings a lot to the midfield mix and he seems to have found a consistency that he struggled (or was stifled) with during his first two seasons here.
Brilliant cut-back, not 100% sure he knew exactly who was there but that duo seem to have a really good appreciation of each others game.

Excellent all around. Captain material.
Absolutely.
Superb. Gives a very good balance to our team. His pressing is infectious.
Absolutely superb
