Gary Cahill

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Above average defender without Terry's organisation at the back.

The same can arguably be said of every defender John Terry has ever played alongside since Desailly left, Carvalho excluded.

Can't believe no one has posted that. Cahill has been appointed England's vice-captain.

Admist all the talk about Hazard signing a new contract, Cahill is ready to sign a new 3-year deal according to Martin Lipton...

The most overrated player in the squad by a country mile. He only ever looks comfortable when he has massive protection/we're parking the bus and camped inside our own box.

He's just not good enough defensively or with the ball at his feet. I'm hoping either Ivanovic moves inside eventually or Zouma gets a chance.

i agree. was desperate for us not to buy him. never liked him at all. if he wasn't english, no chance he would be here.

I dont know if i'd stretch that far, could be true, but both Cahill and JT were wayyy too passive in defense. They seemed scared to make any tackles, which was just bizzare to see at times. Like Draxler should have been tackled years before he made that pass to Huntelaar. Felipe Luis was the only defender who seemed to know tackling was part of the job. Shocking scenes in defense i must say.

He isn't really world class but really dude...England vice captain, I know England have a shit team now but still you don't get into regular starting 11 unless you are decent.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Two embarrassing pieces of defending on both their best chances today. Worst 1v1 defender on the team by a country mile. Despite JT's susceptibility to pace you rarely ever see him get done like that.

I mean it's fucking Huntelaar he's defending not Messi or Suarez. Even if you mistime your challenge you still prevent the counter, you can't let one of the best finishers in the World run into the box completely unchallenged.

made to appear decent, because he plays for chelsea. as far as im concerned, should have been left at bolton

But I thought he was 'world class'?

I have not missed the puffing-cheeks-out-while-backing-off-endlessly version of Cahill at all.

Nope he would start in almost every single BPL team apart from maybe top 4-5.

Terry and Cahill made ONE tackle between them. They're afraid to get beaten for pace so back off until players either shoot or pass, it's pathetic.

I though Luis was good, he won the ball several times and delivered some quality crosses; really impressive debut in my opinion.

Think this is a huge overreaction. He was complacent tonight and performed very very poorly but hes not the worst center half out there and hes certainly decent when it comes to having the ball at his feet. The only not so good thing about him is his backing off strikers has cost us goals: Huntelaar tonight, Falcao in the super cup, Benteke at Villa Park... I'm sure theres more too but for certain members to say hes the most overrated player in the squad, or he should have been left at Bolton or whatever bullshit is a massive overreaction. Like when Mikel played that pass vs Juventus before they scored about a minute later under Robbie, huge overreaction.

That means absolutely NOTHING. A vice-captain for a rubbish national team; if anything the fact that Cahill is vice-captain for England says it all about how bad they are right now.

Let the overreaction begin...
