He was captain and guided his team to victory against the world Champions, not a bad night, was it Gary?

What do you think?

Had a solid game which is why this thread after the match is quiet. A lot of people revel in seeing Cahill have a bad game to take the piss and that is the sad truth. It was his great interception from Ozil that lead to the goal for Vardy.

Boy it really is a day of cliches around here.

I don't think anyone 'revels' in seeing Cahill have a bad game. So he did well? Does that deserve a discussion in the pointlessness of that game? No-one ever said Cahill wasn't an able defender, he did what you'd expect of any defender at that level of the game. Does this somehow make him an extraordinary player? No. 

Bertrand Traore played in Burkian Faso's win, should we also discuss that? How about Trevor Chabolah captaining England u17 side?

Yes, they do. You only have to look at the comments to see how little people rate him. I remember I used to point it out last season too, that people too often remembered his 'bad' games however the amount of games he was solid in went ignored or people would say that it is down to Terry being in the team. You only have to look at Jason's post (from another source) to see the mockery about Cahill when in reality it is a proud achievement for himself and should be for us to that he captained England.

And for the record before you make a stupid comment about Traore or Chalobah, I never said people should be dicussing Cahill's 'great' performance. I said he was solid but pointed out the fact that the thread is quiet is because before the game a lot of people probably would have thought he would not have been able to handle the attacking threat of Germany but he did not look out of place at all and people were probably waiting to take the piss out of his performance like they did the other day after Everton game but he done well.

The ball was inch-perfect tbh. Agreed slightly but the ball was so spot-on, I think it woudl be harsh to label him solely at fault. However that being said, him or Johnson did not cover themselves in glory there.

If he stayed as a squad player which he was what he was signed for initially I doubt many would critisise him, but do some bewildering reason along the way he became an untouchable so he will get judged on those standards, an quite frankly he isn't good enough to start at Chelsea.

Good squad option, but hopefully Conte signs Bonnuci and recalls Andreas and well and truly makes Cahill being an automatic selection a thing of the past.

But it's not on him that the club wasn't able to buy a superieur player in his position. Furthermore he is earning good money, but he is far away from our so-called superstars. Clearly Cahill made mistakes, especially during this season so far, but he is not the main culprit, imo.

He doesn't talk shit in the media about anyone, i think he always tries, could be the case that he really likes it here.

My point is, especially in the recent months the criticism has often gone to far. Yes, next season he could find himself more often on the bench, but if some others deserve a second chance, so does Cahill.

[robsblubot 3,513]

Mistakes... Culprit...

they aren't the reason Cahill is insufficient. It's not like Kompany makes fewer mistakes, but that he adds more to his side than Cahill does.

how they defend also matters.

[Jase 43,479]

Surprised to see this thread being so quiet after the debacle yesterday. That tackle that led to City's penalty was just...something else. Utterly idiotic move.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

His nationality is the only thing that'll keep him here come August. 

Book It. 

[LondonsFinest 692]

Cahill is a good BACK-UP Cb to have. He had an amazing tackle on Agüero and then that cock up. It's just him. Good, not great. Said it a million times, considering his price tag and the club he came from, he has definitely been great and his good to bad performances are a solid 70 to 30 percent.

World class finish but it's all about Hazard, lol.

Gary Cahill says the players were pleased to be able to give our supporters an enjoyable night when we drew against Tottenham on Monday.

The unbeaten home record against the visitors, which stretches back to 1990, looked in serious danger of coming to an end before the two second-half goals - the first scored by Cahill - earned the Blues a point. It was the second time he has found the net against Spurs since joining in 2012. 

‘We showed a lot of determination, character and guts to come back into the game,’ said Cahill. ‘It’s maybe been lacking this year so that was pleasing because to go 2-0 down was difficult.

‘When we first went in at half-time it was a quiet atmosphere but then people didn’t want to accept the way the game was going. We came out nice and early ready to give everything in the second half.

‘It wasn’t a game to come and hide, you could sense the atmosphere and what was at stake. We wanted to give a performance for the fans and I’m sure they enjoyed it.’

Cahill’s goal, a close-range finish from a Willian corner, was undoubtedly the turning point and gave the home players and supporters a huge lift at a crucial time in the game.

‘It always means a lot when you score,’ said the defender. ‘It means a lot when you keep clean sheets but obviously at 2-0 down we needed to push on. We spoke at half-time and we knew the next goal was massive. If they get it, at 3-0 the game is over; if we get it then all of a sudden there are a few nerves kicking about.

‘In the second half we pushed them back and created a lot but of course it was great to get a goal.’

Hazard was superb after coming on at half-time and Cahill praised his team-mate for his performance and goal.

‘What a finish that was, an incredible goal,’ he said. ‘I asked him at half-time to change the game for us and I think he did that. He came on and showed what a good player he is.’

It was a fiery contest played at a frenetic speed from start to finish, with Tottenham having had nine players booked by the end of the game.

For Cahill, however, the competitive nature of the match simply came down to both teams desperately wanting to win.

‘The game was fantastic, it was played at an unbelievable pace, the fastest game I’ve played in a long time,’ he added. ‘As well as the tackles and everything that went with it the quality was there as well, so I loved playing in it.

‘It was a proper game, a local derby. Obviously we knew the club wanted to win the game, we know how much it means to the fans and even before you got a sense of the atmosphere even in the dressing room. We were buzzing to get out there and get going and I’m sure they were the same. It boiled over at times because of what was at stake.

‘We came in at the end of the game and everyone had calmed down, emotions had settled down and that was it.’

I think he could be more helpful in attack, than in defence. He has some impressive strikes and I love them
An interesting fact: All his 4 goals this season has been scored with his foot.
