Didn't really cover himself in glory tonight. It has to be Luiz-JT against Tottenham, imo.

[Jase 43,479]

That failed back-heel...First it was Luiz and then him. :banghead:

[Henrique 9,133]

What happened?

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Cahill wore our shirt that's what happened.

I've nothing against the lad on a personal level, but as a footballer I don't see anything that merits him being in a top European side's squad.

[Jase 43,479]

Last question there to Cahill there - Which position can you also play?

And he says.....centre forward. A target man.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Well he certainly has the shooting ability to be a center forward..

Mourinho on Cahill..

'I trust Gary and I like him very much. I don't like to leave players on the bench that are good players and good professionals. I want to help him and I don't want to make his life difficult.

'I would never do something that would jeopardise his selection for the national team. There's no doubt he is going to play a lot. Who knows, in a couple of weeks I will change my mind because of performances and he becomes again my first option.

'Since they started playing together John and David Luiz are playing well and they are giving stability. Gary is a very good player and he has to play, so I can say three very good central defenders for two positions.

'From match to match I will read the game and try to make the best option for the team.

'The whole squad is full of good players. I will never leave somebody out for four or five matches in a row. I will make rotations and everybody will have chances to play.

'In the case of Gary I have to make him happy, I have to make him play and then he will go to the national team happy.'

Another solid performance.

Played himself into the weekend squad IMO.

[didierforever 7,349]

perfect match by him. him+terry in the center of the defence has been like a wall for us.

[Jase 43,479]

Not taking anything away from him but games like where we set up to play on the counter, Cahill is almost the go-to-guy for it. Suits him best.

Which makes him perfect for the weekend.

Not 100% sure about. City will pose way more threat than Schalke tonight and Cahill's positioning may still be a bit of suspect especially against Aguero and Negredo's movement.

True.

Him and JT play against City in my book .
