Special Juan

Well they don't have a guaranteed spot, they shouldn't. Hazard hasn't exactly been immense and consistent has he? He like many needs to raise his game, Mourinho won't have players who's level drops whether it be Hazard, Luiz or anyone.

So if that's the case it will be Schurrle, Willian and Oscar as the three then.

This group is so, so different to what he previously had in his first time here. There is a freshness in the air, I for one won't be annoyed if we don't win the title and I don't expect us too really, this is a new foundation and yes it's a very good one but we have a lot of new players and a new manager. Football fans are impatient, they want things yesterday, and before anyone starts harping on about "Why don't you want us to win the title" I'm not saying that, of course I want us to win the title, more than anything but we have to be grounded. Let's look at where we are right now- Second in the league, on a great run bar the Newcastle game, in the Capital One Cup after smashing Arsenal away, FA Cup to come and after a shit start to the CL we have turned it around in the CL by smashing Schalke away and Bucharest away. The PL is the league where anyone can beat anyone, already proven. There is a lot to look forward to with CFC right now, people just need to embrace it, be patient and let Jose do his stuff because he will get it right and the machine that once was will rear it's head again, but what I am seeing now is very pleasing. Just. Be. Patient.

Happy Birthday Schurrle....start and score please.

Didn't expect Moyes to publicly speak about in his PC last night but the fact he tried to justify it says it all. Absolute fucking wankers that lot.

Game day......whooooooo!!!

Young is a fucking disgrace, and Fellainis first touch is either an elbow or a two footed challenge. Fucking laughable.

It's becoming a general consensus with Luiz though, he just is generally poor right now. Let's put love for him and wanting to cuddle him to one side because he makes funny finger gestures on twitter. He's lost the basics of basic defending. You speak about his doubters as if they hate him, he plays for CFC nobody hates him, but if he isn't doing it he deserves to be dropped, not only dropped but sort his fucking head out. We speak more of his mistakes now because they are becoming more and more prominent, people aren't making this shit up, he's poor but in all this we want him to be this top class centre back people claim he is......fucking show us please David. Luiz needs to start tuning in and fast.

Barbara I appreciate your response and stand by what I think regarding Luiz right now. I really think he is a talented guy but one that leaves you in complete jaw dropping moments at the basics he get's wrong. Your love for him is clouding your judgement IMO, so agree to disagree on this one. Best wishes.

Sunderland please. It's not far from me

He probably had a kick up the arse after Cardiff, how many kicks up the arse does he want?

Was banned from CFCNet for speaking my mind, found this place........Bingo!!!

Paulo Ferreira

Nobody from what I read are making him the single scape goat, after all, this is the Luiz thread and people are rightly discussing his frailties. Not even the most ardent Luiz fan can say he's playing well, he's not and needs to up his game, as do most of them for that matter so it's not Luiz, just the Luiz thread.

You know, I stayed up all night wondering when the sun went down. Then it dawned on me. -------------------- I've just bought the British Gas advent calendar. Every time I open a door, a granny dies of hypothermia. ----------------

Not getting at players enough for me and has this awful habit of trying the same thing where he spins the defender with his back to them and tries to out do them with that same thing time and again. Get back to basics and driving at players.

Who said it?

Take out the Newcastle frustrations on this lot.....4-0

I have said it a few games this season but hey ho don't let that get in the way eh?

I'd hit Sagna that hard with my left he would be begging for my right…..toss pot!!!

No, no, no that is what I said, it's not just the last match he has been limited in what he offers for a while. He's struggling to cope with the pace of other teams and getting lost in a midfield battle. You will form your opinion, and me mine, right now Frank is poor.

I heard it will be all out on Alonso…..not the racing driver

Luiz right now is struggling with the basics, just because he has a barrier of centre backs behind him in the pivot that should mean little. Luiz needs to get to the basics as quick as fucking possible or find himself down the road at the earliest possibly opportunity, as I feel Jose is losing it with him.

I think people need to realise the club is evolving, Frank like many has been a truly amazing person for this club but we need more in that position more now than ever before. This isn't just since yesterday's defeat it's since the end of last season. He will do a job but we need more than that, and for me the sooner we get that person the better, or develop that person the better.

Yes he should be dropped, that's correct. I'm really failing to see what he offers right now, it isn't a lot. JT has been rejuvenated since Jose came back, he's been incredibly solid, Lampard has been poor IMO, and Jose selection of him leaves me questioning exactly what Jose is seeing in him.
