kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Put his body on the line today, brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! DavidEU 2,023 Posted April 18, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 18, 2015 He was brilliant last week, and brilliant today. In a couple of weeks he'd of won every trophy going in his 3.5 years here. I know he's not everyone's cup of tea and has his little blips but in his time here, he's never let us down when it really matters. Deserves to be a champion.

Jase 43,479 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Honestly thought he gave a penalty right at the end but thank goodness Herrera dived and Mike Dean didn't fall for it. The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis33 1,270 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 His play has significantly improved...no nonsense defending last several games. Little dicey at the end but Mike Dean didn't take the bait. Well done GC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Johnny Kills 164 Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 19, 2015 I'm sorry if this post rubs people the wrong way, but I feel like we should know by now that when the team sets up defensively, he's generally AT WORST very, very good. It's his passiveness and lack of awareness when we're playing more openly that he gets exposed. He's very comfortable in our own box and we have the best CB pairing in the world for this type of football.

CFC888 219 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Brilliant from Gary again. Beginning to look more like the man who appeared to be the next Chelsea captain a while back. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 19, 2015 Brilliant ? What are you even writing ?He was good and done his job professionally. But please, he was constantly protected by 6 players, he got maximum protection all the time. He didn't make a silly mistake but it doesn't give him monster praise. I'm sure how he'd look if we'd play more open football. I don't think that this season performance has something to do with him being supposedly off-form.The terrific performance was by Otamendi yesterday, Varane in mid-week, was by Thiago Silva in the first leg against Chelsea or how Kompany used to play. If we want to praise terrific performance from our defenders then there's Azpilicueta. He's proactive and aggressive in his approach, modern defender traits, I love it.Cahill is inferior team defender. And he suits here well now when we play like an inferior team, so the league medal will be well earned by him.But long term he's simply not the type of player we're going forward with. Unless all demands from Abramovich and all the talks from Mourinho about style of play are simply bollocks which we'll know soon.

LAB 1,030 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 The fact that a player is perfect for some certain tactics doesn't make the performance ordinary, no? It was indeed great. Can't take that away from Cahill. iseah100, CFC888 and didierforever 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 19, 2015 Popular Post! Share Posted April 19, 2015 Why can't some people just give a player credit?I have been hypercritical of Cahill this season, but he shone yesterday. He stopped a certain goal with that block on Falcao's shot, made at least a half-dozen excellent clearances and didn't lose a single header. A good, solid performance.

iseah100 5,612 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yes, yesterday is the only good game he's had all year. Come on, i know some of you don't like him, but he has been playing well recently. Give credit where it's due instead of trying to bash him at every chance. stroey, CFC888, CurlyHairLikeLuiz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Erm, we didn't have a defensive approach vs QPR but he was nothing short of excellent that game, either.Credit where it's due, he's playing well recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stopped a certain goal with that block on Falcao's shot, made at least a half-dozen excellent clearances and didn't lose a single header. A good, solid performance. Because he's not Hummels or Benatia or even Ramos or Varane....You know the theme, he deserves credit he's been really good and long may it continue.
