Bullshit. Every season the spanish media come with this kind of news. Dont forget that one year ago they were reporting Neymar was already a Real Madrid's player, even saying things like "Mourinho asked Neymar to change his hairstyle". This season there was the talk again, but now about Barcelona, nothing happened, and now because they probably realized that Neymar is really staying in Brazil untill 2014, they are creating stories about Neymar being a Barcelona's player bul will join them in 2014. Neymar has a contract, so he only can sign a pre-deal with another club when there is only 6 months before the end end of the current contract. Spanish media is reporting that Santos has to sell Neymar to Barcelona in 2014, or pay them huge amount of money, but that just doesnt make any kind of sense because in 2014 Neymar will a free agent, why in the hell Barcelona would buy a player and only gets him in the same season he become a free agent? This will be the best deal ever for a club: Santos keeps Neymar untill his contract ends, and still gets millions after this.

Last season we were 6th in the table of the PL. This season we are building a new team, for me its a surprise that we are doing so well in the beginning of this season. I never expected us to beat both Manchester's team this season. The reality is we are fighting for a top 4 finish, but our aim this season is build another team. This is not like past seasons, time to stop this bullshit.

No doubtTerry's future as a captain and specially as a Chelsea player are doomed after last days' events.

I really dont see us losing two games at home in a row. That will be shocking, specially because our team is better than those. If that happen it will mean that the Clattenburg's case was a disaster for the rest of the season.

Its not good for managers or players when they realize they are in the eye of the storm due to off the pitch issues. The peformance today was strange, and we played as bad as in AVB and Scolari last days.

I have a bad feeling that this racism thing could be the turning point of the season for us.

There is no better way to describe this match,

The team was poor today. I dont see how the season will implode in the coming days.

Awful match. The reality is very simple: we won win this PL season, and the reason is even more simple: we dont have the best squad. Both Manchester teams have better squads, while I think our starting XI is perhaps on pair with City. Against United in League Cup game, they had Hernandez, Nani, Wellbeck, Anderson and Giggs as their reserves, while we have Piazon, Marin, Moses and Romeu. I wont talk about quality, but United's players have a lot of experience, while our reserves are unproven guys in the high level or players for the "future", our team today looked really tired. We also dont have a very good striker like RVB, Tevez or even Dzeko. We dont even have reserves CB, all we have is Terry, Luiz, Cahill and Ivanovic. Our squad lacks depth, but I understand that RDM is building a new team.

We need the 2nd goal really quickly.

Get the feelling it is a 0x0 game.

Right, Torres is not doing anything wrong, but also he is not doing anything special. This is Torres, when he is not awful, he is not special.

Torres...

We need Ramires, Marin and Sturridge in the 2nd half.

Missing some sense of urgence.

You should read the article, our problem is not the quality of our CB, because Terry and Luiz are very good, and Cahill is decent enough to start a UCL final match.

So the discussion ends here, because I also believe your arguments regarding this subject lacks substance and are ridiculous. Focussing in few points and calling Cahill a better defender makes no sense to me, and you are ignoring the many aspects where Luiz is better than Cahill, and your opinon that Cahill is better in decision making, tackling and focussing are far from being facts, are just your opnion. Not the first time you try to make your opnion look like a fact. The only fact we have right now is that Luiz is RDM's first choice, and also a starting eleven for Brazilian NT. I'm happy the things will stay as they are.

James was the guy saying Cahill is our best option for being our next captain, and it was clear he was saying it because Cahill was born in UK. This is enough to prove he is biased. He want Cahill playing and Luiz on the bench. Deep down inside he knows Luiz is a better option.

http://www.carefreechronicles.com/2012/10/pointing-fingers-goals-from-luiz-og-and.html I really dont know how can someone say Cahill was in a good position. Just look where Hazard was with the ball, and where our CB was. It is clear that if Hazard lose the ball there, Ashley Young will have an open gate to enter in our defence. In this sequence its clear that that Cahill was the one marking RVP, but somehow he just left the guy alone to score the goal and went to mark Young, while Ivanovic was the one marking Young, left to mark no one.

I watched it many times, and Cahill was too wide for his position, and he should be be closer to the box. Well, people now are saying Cahill is our best defender in the squad, and one of the most outrageous things I have read in this forum is that he is the best option for the next captain, and we are talking about a player is a Chelsea's player for less than a year. While Cahill doesnt make the "silly" mistakes that Luiz do, he never o anything special. Tell me one game that Cahill put a good striker in his pocket. Luiz in most part of the game is making the opponents job harder, and that Manchester's match aside, back in 2011, I dont remember one single match that we lost because of Luiz. We lost 3 times this season, and in none of these defeats Luiz was the one to blame. Now I read some people saying Luiz cant defend, and his singning was a disaster, or that he is not good enough. These comments are stupid.

I know you are english and all, but you must be joking, Cahill is avarage as a player and as a defender. The way Hernandez played with him before Nani scored the third goal was pathetic. Thats very common with Cahill. Despite Luiz mistakes, I can bet without him our defence would be worst. Terry+Cahill is the worst combination when can have in the defence.

Cahill was too wide. I mean, Luiz had the ball, every player that has the ball can lose it, so Cahills position was not the best for this kind of situation. If you have a GK that will take a free kick, then one player stays in front of the goal to avoid a goal from long distances.

Sturridge was good, and Luiz was also good. Second goal was Cahill's fault, Luiz lost the ball in the middle of the field, and Cahill was unable to stop Hernandez. There was cover enough to stop United's player, but Cahill as usual react really slow. Keep blaming Luiz, while our biggest problem in the defence is Cahill.

David Luiz. Leader, legend, captain.

A defeat will be shocking, and will have a huge impact in the moral of the team.
