Gary Cahill

Im far from a Cahill fanboy but the criticism of him is slowly creeping into the criticism for the sake of it territory. As already been noted he has been quite good since he's come back in.

He plays well for a patch then makes a schoolboy error which makes you want to bang your head against a brick wall. I think alot of his criticism is in comparison to JT. He will never fill those boots but he does a job I suppose.

I don't think the criticism has gotta do with JT, especially once it became obvious he'll never get close to his level. A lot of the problem and criticism has gotta do with what you said in the first part there - he does a solid job for a patch before completely making a fool of himself with dumb errors. Plus, there's also the constant change in what we want from our CBs, in terms of buildup play, how we defend etc. In a system where we defend deep like we did under Mourinho and do under Conte, then Cahill is fine for it. But if we play higher up the pitch, focus on building from the back, then Cahill is not the person for it.

Cahill likes to talk about this insecurity, the need to prove people wrong all the time, doesn't he? It's good that he has something to drive him on but it's also rather annoying. No one would be talking about selling him if he actually did his job and performed well on a consistent basis. He alluded to the fact that the small amount we paid for him in 2012 may be a factor that fans remain unconvinced with him. I mean, really? We paid for a small fee for Azpi too but do fans genuinely want him out? Should be looking to him as an example as opposed to like blaming others for him not recognized as a great.

Another win under his captaincy after reclaiming his place in the team. Not a single loss and defence looks more solid than it has all season. Well done Gary for stepping up in a crucial time!

This is another example of what I mean when I say he is a shit captain.

Credit where its due... great performance

Gary, is it you?

[The Skipper 20,609]

Dropped his best performance of the season in the final. Fair play. 

[manpe 10,861]

He's been great imo ever since reclaiming his place from AC. Fair play to him.

Remember the days when Terry AND Lampard - captain and vice-captain - used to lift the trophy together? Cahill didn't even do it with Azpi yesterday. It was all him alone.

I'd like to think that Azpi refused to do so out of respect.

Not even sure if he was asked to begin with given the mayhem up there and I believe Terry used to make sure both he and Lampard lift trophies together as opposed to just doing himself.
