DYC. 7,542 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Gary was absolutely fantastic today.I have never rated him highly but there's no denying he's been doing a great job in recent months. His approach has been a lot more pro-active this season and he's become a better player because of it.Can only hope he keeps this up.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 That happens when Jose gives you a couple of advices and you are good enoung to follow them. Cahill certainly made huge step from last year and is more consistent than ever.Gary for president! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cech's helmet 220 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 He really reminds me of John Terry too. his blocks and tackles are perfect. in the air, he's always going to win the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! Barbara 15,149 Posted February 4, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 4, 2014 This man simply surprised me beyond words. Our best defender currently and that's when JT is having one of his best seasons with us in the last few years.He's cemented his place in the team and became one of the best defenders in the league.Mourinho's been doing a great job with him, but I feel like everything was there, he was just a bit rough in the edges and Mourinho just did the polishing. I hope and pray he keeps the improvement curve and keep himself at his peak for a couple of years more. Outstanding, Gaz, simply outstanding. ╫rue Blue, Fulham Broadway, Sheva. and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe didn't see this coming but it comes as no surprise to me. Just look at the influence he had on JT, arguably the greatest English defender of the modern era.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Out off all the improvements Mourinho would make, i didn't see this one coming.Tbf, Garry always had the physical and technical ability to be a world-class defender, he just lacked the decision making and reading of the game at times. But he's really worked on that this season and you can see him improving on it with every passing month this season. So, credit to him. He's been outstanding recently and had his best performance in blue shirt yesterday. yuvala 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The system is helping him and he's been helping himself by showing excellent anticipation and being more proactive. The best defenders are the ones who either intercept, or make the tackle before the opponent has the time to control the football. That was what I disliked the most about him before - he'd wait and wait and sometimes even backtrack into our own box. Not anymore as he is been very dynamic and proactive. His passing can still be improved as it isn't at the same level of JT.The fact the system is helping him with a deep defense line is only relevant for a potential buyer (and perhaps England). For Chelsea, he's been actually better than John Terry lately. JT who btw sometimes seems to be lacking pace and mobility. I can certainly see Jose resting Terry for the big matches like yesterday (City). The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababoom 4,478 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I think he's also underrated on the ball, obviously not as good as Luiz, but he does seem comfortable with it. He doesnt just kick the ball out of play if pressured, he tries to look for one of our players. Cahill is our best defender, gary fucking cahill... honestly when we signed him I thought he'll be a squad player at best, credit to him. He's improved so much even rival fans are givig him praise. A few months ago that new deal seemed a bit extreme, but now I'm all for it. francozola 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
