Gary Cahill

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Problem with Chelsea defence remains, whenever Terry is injured. Cahill seems good defender, but he is not that extra I hoped. Definately far from his form from last season with Bolton, when Barca was interested for him...

I dont know, but ocassionaly he seems slugish in defence...Not sure at all and leaves space for opponents...He is becoming better, but still far from Terrys and miles away from Terry's best...

Barca were interested in Cahill?WTFFFFFFFFF

Don't understand how the kid can be criticised. He's literally made one mistake since he's been here.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Yeah, I think he's been great. Think we made a great purchase. Not only is he a good defender, he's shown he has great determination and passion. Not easy to find, especially when you consider he came from a club who were constantly loosing and in the relegation zone.

i didnt say he was bad...but yesterday against benfica...after terry left it was more problem in defense. cahill didnt made any real mistake, but the goal was in the air for last 20min, after terry being replaced.

Looks shaky in the CL, which is understandable considering it is brand new territory for him. So for that competition in the semi's against Barca it has to remain Terry and David Luiz, they have the vast CL experience, ease Gary into that competition next season in the group stage should we make it next season.

Domestically however he has been fantastic and like Luiz he has been a fantastic signing, but comparison's in their partnership (Cahill and Luiz's) to Terry and Carvalho's in 04-06 is a bit premature.

I saw rumours - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/sep/19/football-transfer-rumours - on that but don't tell you're believing it??!!

Just like everyone else have said, he has done alright since he's been here and it's harsh to just pinpoint him when Terry is absent from the starting XI. Only question mark I have on him, as Tomo pointed out, is him playing Europe at the moment.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He is doing his job perfectly in defending, but he can't organise the defense and midfield and bark orders at everyone like Terry does. It is very unlikely that we will ever get a captain like John, it's unfair to compare anyone to him.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Yes, Terry and Carvalho were another world. At that time, we actualy had best defence in the world with Terry and Cole regulary in UEFA Team of the year...+Carvalho, Ferreira, Bossingwa. The latter 3 already left, or play very badly now...

In those times, we were regarded as a defensively one of the strongest teams in world, conceding only few goals per season...Now any team can score 2 goals against us.

But yes, Cahill is good anyway, while Luiz is young and he will learn evenualy. The progress of him, comparing to first half of this season is unbelievable. He is realy similar to Carvalho, but has to learn how to defend more and attack less.

Are you referring to Cahill or Luiz?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

To Luiz, but it is true for both actualy...

Almost as premature as the frequent shouts in favor of Terry losing his starting place in the team and being replaced by our fans' latest CB sensation.

He played good today, looked better than Luiz at least. That tackle on Bale was beast

[Kojo 4,676]

So far he has been a quality signing. I can't remember him being that good at Bolton, i know Seb even said he was a very overrated player. And to be honest i think he was at Bolton.

But over here, he has really flourished, but fuck it i don't want to jinx it. Please keep playing well Cahill.

[Sheva. 5,373]

That tackle on Bale!! i thought we were fucked when he was left one one with him - Bosingwa fucking around as usual
