petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 a squad player who has a total of 1845 minutes in this season so far and our most used player?? also according to WAGNH and other media sources (both of which give the higher limit), he is on 80k a week. A squad player aka a Mikel type of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igi26 346 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 A squad player aka a Mikel type of player. Cahill is not squad player, he is 1st team starter. Squad player is someone like Andre Schurrle or Filipe Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A squad player aka a Mikel type of player. so our 1st choice CB is equivalent to our 4th choice DM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Cahill is only playing by default, let's be fair. If Terry was 10 years younger it'd be he starting every game. Mourinho has his preference of Ivanovic at right-back, whereas in reality he should, at least in my opinion, be playing at centre-back alongside JT, with Luis and Azpi in their more natural positions. Why did AVB act like such a dick to Alex, I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevemayer 764 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Cahill is only playing by default, let's be fair. If Terry was 10 years younger it'd be he starting every game. Mourinho has his preference of Ivanovic at right-back, whereas in reality he should, at least in my opinion, be playing at centre-back alongside JT, with Luis and Azpi in their more natural positions. Why did AVB act like such a dick to Alex, I wonder? Alex and few others acted as dicks towards AVB back then, still said it didn't work out, me thinks players like Lamps and Didi (still my favourite of all time right after zola, and not only after his Munich goal) didn't give him the respect he deserved as manager, I remember AVB sleeping at the training facility for weeks to sort everything out and motivate the players and players like Lamps waving him good morning while purposedly coming late to get him wind up, anyway other story, Special One is back and I'm glad in the end.Cahill is a proper defender, he had his best season last year me thinks, JT at his age was two shoulders above him, I personally think Desailly was better then him, too, lets put Carvallho there too and I think it's just natural that ppl. don't like someone who is not the best of the best in his position and still being a nailed on starter. I think he is a bit of a gap filler for Zouma. I would like to bench him and put Luis at LB with Azpi going to the right side, cause I'm a bit fed up with Bane there. I just think Mou doesn't trust JT's physical fitniss and we all know this would mean Bane and Cahill at CB, this would be awfull, and I can remember Bane wasn't that top CB either. So Mou goes with Cahill there cause he is better then Bane there but benches Luis, I would rather bench Bane then Luis but thats my opinion and I'm clearly not the gaffer.Conclusion: Cahill isn't the level of first team starter we were used to, and thats why many ppl don't like him to be the guy with most minutes. But by rational views Mou is probably right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 a squad player who has a total of 1845 minutes in this season so far and our most used player?? also according to WAGNH and other media sources (both of which give the higher limit), he is on 80k a week. I think what she's trying to say is, if you compare Cahill with the other top class defenders out there, he would just be a squad player. But because we don't exactly have many top options, Cahill is a first choice defender in the squad. If lets say we have someone like Varane, doubt Cahill would even be starting.

He's our most used player which clearly makes him world class!In all seriousness when I read comments from people saying that criticisms about Cahill's performance are 'knee-jerk' I honestly begin questioning whether they've watched any of our last 20 or so games.

DH1988 1,348 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Its a bad patch, massive over reaction. I'm not saying he is the best CB ever and people can check my historical posts regarding Cahill (See CFC vs AM in Monaco) but its his partnership with Terry that makes him that notch above.At the moment he's having a shaky spell but clean sheet and I'd rather him have this spell now against the Hull's etc. rather than semi-final of the Champions League etc.People stick by other players, so why abandon Cahill so eagerly? didierforever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cahill has been playing poorly all season.Exactly. He hasn't put in a good performance in several weeks and is getting worse with every game.People talk about Zouma being poor on the ball but what about Cahill? He is absolutely SHOCKING with the ball and is one of the worst around. BlueLion., The Skipper, LDN Blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why he's declined so badly. He's that bad at the minute he's making Luiz's performances seem like worldies.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 He looks a bit lost in the last few games, seems like he makes a mistake and then panics afterwards. But one thing I do not understand: why are people coming to bash and insult when he's apparently deadwood? What do you expect if he you think someone is rubbish?For instance, I think Willian is a very limited player and therefore I don't expect anything offensively from him. If he produces then ok, if not nothing new there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 He's not the only England national team player to suffer a hangover from the WC. Jagielka has been very poor for Everton. Perhaps he needs an extended time off to re-discover his form and concentration because this is far below his normal level. Ivanovic should be the guy to temporarily fill in for him as I don't believe Zouma is ready to do so yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
