How important has @LucasLeiva87 now become to the dynamics of how this #LFC team play & the system we’re currently using. He’s been superb. — Jay Riley (@Jay_78_) January 21, 2015
Lucas Leiva and Thibaut Courtois were the picks for me from that game. Brilliant demonstrations of holding midfield play and goalkeeping.

Lucas Leiva is pivotal to @LFC‘s recent upturn in form and must not be sold, says @Carra23: http://t.co/CB2f4DZsgB pic.twitter.com/iADdw7IZ2a — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) January 20, 2015
Coutinho, 22, really starting to find consistency at #LFC. A few more final balls and/or Sturridge to aim at and he’s some proposition.

Having said that though, the current squad, that probably was our best forward line. Coutinho, Lallana, Sterling & Markovic. — Jay (@JayboPetch) January 21, 2015
Raheem Sterling is the best player under age 23 in Europe.
