mascherano's departure, surely will in one way or another affect
LFC, he's one of the best defensive midfielder imo.
lucas, however, on the other hand, is an insult to the LFC shirt
and to the midfielder position.
It's almost impossible to find a direct alike replacement for
mascherano, he's one of it's kind/own. the way he defend, start to
launch counter-attacks etc.
we have to understand mascherano's stand in the whole saga, im
on his side for this. he just can't adapt to england's
weather/environment, who to blame then? he already wanted to leave
a year ago, but played on another year after rafael pleaded with
him. that's cool.
i won't go further to blame him for putting himself above the
club, look, this world is that realistic, it's all about the
survivor of the fittest.
mascherano made 94 appearances for the kop, i havent't seen any
that he's not giving his everything, for every game i watch
mascherano, i see a 'monster', a footballing monster that will
chase down every single ball, with that never-say-die attitude.
mascherano will be deeply missed, if not by the club, then
me.
