Jase 43,479 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3041307/title/cahill%27s-baby-joy-before-bridge-returnSaturday's win at Stoke may not be forgotten in a while, but for the absent Gary Cahill, it was a more memorable day than for most.The defender was due to figure at the Britannia Stadium, and travelled to the Potteries with his team-mates, only to receive a phone call from home that demanded his return south. Wife Gemma had gone into labour, and the 26-year-old would be by her side rather than that of Branislav Ivanovic at the centre of the Chelsea defence.'I got the call at about 4.30 on Saturday morning,' he recalled. 'We knew it was close but it was still early as the due date was February 7, but I got the call and that was that. I shot back down to London, sod's law it was while I was away, but I got down there to be with my wife, Gemma, and my baby boy arrived at 1.50pm, so we could see the scores coming in on Saturday afternoon!'The baby boy has been named Leo, and he joins older sister Freya as the newest member of the Cahill family.'Since then we've all gone back home on Sunday, and the whole experience was amazing,' the defender said. 'It's my second child, and obviously it was a great result for Chelsea too so it was an unbelievable day and everyone is happy.'We all had Sunday off anyway as there were so many games lately. We're now settled at home and I'm back in training and ready for Wednesday against Southampton.'The most important thing was that my little boy was all fine, that's the case, and now we're back to normal.'

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I like his attitude and his last ditch challenges are top class, but players can get around him so easy at times, that dummy Gibbs sold him Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 At times today he looked john terry like, espically in his last ditch tackling which arguably saved us today... We need JT back in there for sure but for the most part he played well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJames 729 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 He had a good game today...that last ditch tackle was brilliant definitely saved us there. Good job Cahill DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://thinkfootball.co.uk/archives/8028I agree with most if not all points of the article above. He has moved from a smaller side, so he may still improve especially on positioning (Giroud did the same in the first 5 min of the match against Arsenal). And that's precisely why I dislike the current Iva and Cahill partnership: they both cover, no one chases.Regardless, I certainly don't see him remotely close to becoming a long-term Terry replacement. The difference in class between the two players is absolutely obvious. Amblève. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference in class between the two players is absolutely obvious.I agree Cahill hasn't been at his best in recent times(who is anyway defensively?) but it's unfair to pinpoint that we conceded a large number of goals when he's in the side. Not all the goals we conceded were down to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 He may be off form, but under RDM, he was easily our best defender imo. Terry and Luiz were better under RDM this season. SeB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cahill (and Brana) have been shocking these last few weeks, I'm not going to include Terry as his lack of match practice but Cahill gets done time and time again by the same runs in behind.I've also noticed he struggles to pass the ball over 15-20 yards along the floor its always too powerful or something the receiving player struggles to control it Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santiago. 1,500 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Terry and Luiz were better under RDM this season.. Luiz? Under RDM Cahill was a threat forward and a sacrificing his body type character in the defense Mufassir08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see last night the anguish on his face... He will bounce back, but maybe it's time to bench him for a few weeks... Plus he almost scored a header! Julio Cesar is a really good keeper - he's kept QPR in so many games... Really underated IMHO... Stingray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
