That's a huge blow to us indeed.
There is no quality direct replacement for Lucas in the squad. Lucas has been magnificent for us in the role he plays in. I thought he was much better than Didi Hamman in his prime.
Wee Jay definitely is a consideration, but I think Dalglish will give Henderson a chance in the middle, with Shelvey and Spearing as cover. Maxi (my Fav) is now knocking hard on the 1st team door and he should be in contention on either wing. Either that, or KD will get Gerrard to sit in front of the back four, and just harrass the hell out of the opposition. If he suges up the field, then Adams will have to cover. I think it is workable.
