One thing I know we would get with Klopp is players played in their correct (best) position.
This should result in better performances.
I'm convinced he will be looking for a better DM than Lucas too.

Better DM than Lucas? Lucas has been outstanding, one of few who were. Get off his back.

The OP is correct Lucas may be the best we've got but he isn't good enough

Lucas is having a really good season, let's hope he stays injury free.

Agree, Lucas takes some stick. He is generally pretty effective, though when he starts a match with a few misplaced passes, he tends to continue with it. He is the best DM we've got, but people think we need a quicker, more powerful DM with a better passing range. Can't have everything, and a decent manager would trust Lucas to get the job done.

Lucas is one player I imagine will be very safe if Klopp is to be our manager. He presses well, doesn't mind doing the ugly stuff and passes when he should

Lucas is not good enough for a top 4 team. So if we 2ant to be a top 4 team we need better in my opinion. Although I'll admit he is playing ok. but his passing is hit and miss,not as bad as milner though

Lucas is a fantastic player but to be frank, the way he's treated by so many LFC fans he deserves to be somewhere where they actually understand the value of winning and recycling the ball. Granted he can't ping Pirlo-esq passes round the field but he does exactly what is required, when it's required in what is generally the least spectacular position on any field - even CB's have more chance to show vision and flair than a real CDM does.

Hit and miss passing, do you even watch him. Correct me if in wrong but doesn't he have the best pass completion rate in the team?

My comment was in no way intended to have a go at Lucas. I like him as our DM and he always gives 100%.
I'm also aware that Rafa converted him into a DM and he has adapted extremely well.
Lucas has proved that he still has a place in the team, but if you look at how Klopp sets his team's up when playing a 4-2-3-1, he usually goes with a DM who's main job is to break up play (Lucas) and another DM who has better mobility, more pace, better passing range and is better at moving us from defense to attack.
That's what I meant when I said 'better DM than Lucas'
