Rafa Benitez is reportedly planning an overhaul during the summer months, and with Lucas Leiva amongst the candidates set for the axe, Steven Gerrard has stepped forward to give the young Brazilian his dues.
Despite some negative criticism from Reds fans after a few suspect performances throughout the season, Gerrard believes that, if given the proper chance, Lucas will become an Anfield great.
"Lucas has had criticism and for me it's been unfair," said Gerrard, according to Sport.co.uk.
"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."
