Steven Gerrard has urged Rafael Benitez to keep faith with midfielder Lucas and give the Brazilian the chance to become a Liverpool legend.
Reds skipper Gerrard is a big fan of Lucas, who has come under-fire this season following a number of poor performances.
Benitez is already planning an overhaul of his squad with Lucas one of the players that looks set to be offloaded.
But Gerrard reckons Benitez should persist with the 22-year-old and says his team-mate can become a huge hit on Merseyside.
"Lucas has had criticism and for me it's been unfair," said Gerrard.
"He's a young lad learning his trade and he's certainly got a bright future.
"He does a lot of work that goes unnoticed in this team. He's come into some big games when the manager has said 'sink or swim'.
"He swam, very well, and he's done really well for us."
