David Luiz a clumsy defender?

Remember that you can only learn when u make mistakes. Thats how Luiz learn.

Luiz is a good and fearless defender, this is a good difference because of his age, even playing in the best national league in the world. I believe he will bring much joy and relief for many blue years. :champions:

Good post!!

Weird how we talk about this he collides with Thiago Silva and he hurt his jaw causing him to be stretchered off, and tonight he scores an OG.

Lmao you are joking me right?... And did Luiz score the own goal?

I say we set fire to this thread and never speak of it again.

I agree, I don't blame Luiz. I blame ourselves, we jinxed him .

Do it BlueLion I will miss my first ever thread, but it's for the best.

So then...

Most time that would not have been given, the penalty at Fulham was not a pen either.

Just remember how many free kicks in dangerous areas Carvalho use to give away.

Great footballer, but still questionable defensively. Sure it might not have been a penalty any other day, but it's not a coincidence that this kind of things keeps happening to Luiz. He was absolutely amazing in the 2nd half though. He can probably play higher up the pitch just as well.

What I'm worried about is that it doesn't take a player long to develop a certain reputation. If he keeps giving away these silly fouls, it's only a matter of time before more refs start awarding decisons against him without giving him the benefit of doubt they'd give to someone else who doesn't have the 'clumsy' tag after his name.

Needs to learn how to leap for a header properly.

No doubts about the penalty tbh..

Also, the fact that the players will target him and try to draw out fouls and try to win a penalty against him.

imo he should play DM

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

He was very nervous today, gave away a really really stupid penalty. And yes he is a clumsy defender whether we like it or not.

[Tomo 21,733]

He nearly got released by Victoria at 14 because of poor displays at DM. He's a centre half end off.

2 of the 3 pens he gave away were not pens, Alex made a horrific mistake against WBA then gave away a stupid penalty against Fulham but no one is bashing him.

[True_Blue 469]

He is not clumsy,it's just Foy being a tool.
