The away section at Villa Park on Tuesday evening was, not surprisingly, a noisy, joyful place after Fernando Torres scored a goal of huge magnitude.
But while the hymn that is dedicated to him was sung long and loud, with plenty of bouncing, he wasn’t the only Liverpool player to be feted in verse by the travelling contingent – the identity of the man in question, though, may come as a surprise.
Having once been shamefully booed when coming on to the pitch for a game at Anfield, Lucas has started to turn the way supporters perceive him and it would not be wrong to suggest his performance at Villa was his best to date for the club.
Running tirelessly and tackling relentlessly, the Brazilian was magnificent in protecting the Reds’ back four and relished the responsibility he was given by Benitez; it was a display that suggested he is coming of age.
Quietly and efficiently, Lucas has been one of Liverpool’s success stories this year and has never gone missing in the big games they have played; more of the same will ensure his name is sung with an increasing frequency.
