Oh really?

This is the centre back that has made all those last ditch tackles to save our arses against the likes of Arsenal and Spurs.

Yes he is really good at last ditch challenges, but what you have to ask is why does he have to keep resorting to them? I have never seen a player have to resort to so many.

TBF, Cahill wasn't the only one who looked shaky in that 1st half against Barcelona. The whole defence or rather the whole team did. There wasn't any real organization to our defence, midfield, attack. We were just lucky that Barcelona's finishing was hopeless and thanks to some last ditch clearances and tackles in the end.

I know we all over the team lacked organization but the rest of the defense was unorganized but Cahill looked overwhelmed with the stage he was playing at, although like i said whoever spoke to him at half time done a sterling job because he was a different player in the second half.

Because we are the most unbalanced team in the world, and players can get past our defence as it has very little aid from the rest of the team. But yeah I suppose that's all Cahils fault, or maybe we should go put Salomon Kalou upfront still :rolleyes:

yea man..seriously. Well, somebody plays for PSG now and someone played all 90min for us in a CL final dat we won. I'll give points for that

so by your way of thinking bosingwa is a better RB than lets say jallet and kalou a better winger than moura/lavezzi?

cahill is a decent defender. (i wanted to quote the post of the guy who called him "donkey" and give him an earful, but simply thought it would not have been worth it). cahill has his sets of problems which make him quite venerable against good players. i mean how could he not have closed marcelo down for the 1st goal. u simply cant keep backing into the goal and not expect the player to shoot. alex on the other hand was a better/complete/solid defender. i mean i seriously cant think of an aspect of cahill's defensive game that is better than alex's (remember i said defensive, so dont tell he contributes so much to the team in set pieces)

Well that somebody plays for PSG because AvB treated him badly and at his age, he wanted to be playing regularly.

I don't think you've seen enough of Alex's games at Chelsea...he was a much more solid defender than Cahill.

So I guess the fact that Cahill keeps backing off opponents rather than close them down like an aggressive defender isn't his fault?

Any decent striker with a bit of pace and trickery would love to take on Cahill one on one cause they know they'll have time and space to shoot/pass the ball.

Cahill's lucky to be playing for a top level club...if he wasn't homegrown, he'd probably still be at a lower club like Bolton.

If that was the case then Cahill would of been sold a long time ago. We would also of conceded many goals.

You rate Cahill as though he's a championship player, he plays many games and is consistently good. I know he's not one of the best, but to say he should be sold and such is just stupid. People will only look at the mistakes rather than the times he's kept the opposition from scoring, and believe me there is much and i mean MUCH worse scenarios and more goals conceded if we didn't have Cahill.

Luiz for one has made much more mistakes than Cahill has. That last line, have a word with yourself please.
