  1. I don't know what you look for in a captain but I look for passion. Yes, laying into the referee isn't necessary but his passion rubbed off on the players and alas we started playing with a little more fire. Luiz had every right to lay into Webb because he was giving a lot of nonsense decisions to United. Obviously he needs to calm down a tad little but that's why I said "future".
  2. He didn't really "roll around". He was even laughing. Go watch again. It was a red card even if Luiz jumped back up and started doing back flips because it was right in front of the Lineswoman. There was no "simulation" in there at all.
  3. WHAT SIMULATION? Is Luiz meant to look sad? How is it simulation? Bloody hell!
  4. David Luiz. Future captain. That is all.
  5. You see, that's a big chance. If the team had the right mentality instead of playing for a draw, Mata would've got to that ball. I'm ashamed.
  6. We should throw on Torres, he might have fire in his belly, which is exactly what we need.
  7. Look at that half arsed cross from Ramires. Like I said, it's like we don't want to win.
  8. Are we playing like a team that wants the three points? Not at all.
  9. This is like a training match, we're not taking this serious. The game is there for the taking, it's really, really pissing me off how we're not taking advantage of that fact.
  10. Don't bank on Howard Webb giving us any penalties today, he doesn't even want to award us basic fouls.
  11. Do we even want to win the game or...?
  12. I feel it might take a United goal for us to take the game by the scrap, which is stupid really.
  13. We really, really are missing Hazard. Moses needs to step up.
  14. We're playing within ourselves, like we're playing for a point? Why, I don't know.
  15. We're giving United too much respect.

  17. That's the thing, if you just want to have fun it works fine. If you want to get to know a girl then obviously you need to be a lot more gentleman about it!
  18. Honestly bro it works, especially when you go out at night, I can tell you from first hand experience! good luck!
  19. Hazard and Oscar can easily become as hard working as Ribery & Muller, they just need a manager to instill that hard working spirit into them. And Modric is hardworking - he's just reluctant to put in the tackle as you mentioned before but that doesn't mean he doesn't work hard for his team. We need protection in the pivot yes, but not to an extent where we need two defensive minded players. If you pair someone like Mikel with Modric then you have a nicely balanced pivot.
  20. Well he's in the Kompany/Vidic/Terry mould so I think he'd fit perfectly. He's a beast, really like the CB partnership he and Howedes have going on at Schalke, it's superb.
  21. Is he a leader on and off the pitch? Yes or no? People assume Luiz isn't a serious guy because he's a "happy" character. Is Luiz a joker in serious moments? Does Luiz hide away when our backs are against the wall? Does he shy away from responsibility? These are the sort of questions we should be asking about the captaincy, not whether one is "too much of a joker" on his twitter because he calls people geezers and sticks his tongue out in photos. That doesn't effect his ability to lead/inspire football players on the pitch.
