Gary Cahill

He has to be dropped, been piss poor for about a month now

Let's be honest, Cahill is average at best and rubbish at worst. He is the weakest member in the first 11 and is only really in the side by default (Zouma who is the only other option is not considered a real alternative just yet).

He was fine last year when he had all the protection in the world and even then he would try his best to make mistakes.

Definitely the weakest link in our defense. Would rather see Zouma play and make the same mistakes. At least Zouma is a work in progress.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I did say at the start of the season that no one should be surprised if Zouma develops well enough and overtakes Cahill... He's been awful for some games now. Doubt he'll get dropped though.

I would love to see a back line of Luis - Terry - Ivanovic - Azpi. Please make it happen Jose.

I've never been fully convinced of Cahill, but credit where credits due he was brilliant in the 2nd half of last season. Hopefully he regains that kind of form or he'll be out of the team.

Bad run of games? He was great vs Sunderland

For me he was all over the place in the 2nd half, but so were most.

Fair. This is first truly bad match. He hasn't been as bad as people make out to be.

Out of the team is more then likely.

People didn't wanted to accept this when we was in good form September and October and now they finally seeing it.....

Zouma isn't at the level yet to take over Cahill neither, it would be a big gamble that can be a disaster or pay of good in the long run.

So I think this is the time where Mourinho must put his mouth where his talk is. If he is truly serious about youth development then he will gamble on them now that we need freshness.

If not we go into the January transfer window to buy.

I expect buy, as I'm a pessimist when it comes to our youth no matter who is our coach. We don't do youth.

What an utterly stupid comment. It is one thing having a bad game and giving constructive criticism but it is another thing writing BS like this. Ridiculous!

I have said it for a while, If we sign a new centre half it will be Cahill who makes way not Terry.

[Jase 43,479]

Think Styles hit the nail on the head about Cahill. When Cahill is good, he's (just) good. When he's bad, he's really really bad. He's all great when it comes to putting in last minute blocks and challenges to deny goalscoring opportunities but otherwise, he's just average. His positioning is average (just like against the Newcastle second goal today) and don't even get me started on his tendency to back off runners. Feel like I always gonna get heart-attack whenever he's one-on-one with a player. In fact, out of our back 4, the only player I'm confident in those situations is Azpi. Otherwise, it's just painful whenever I see a player run at our defence and the other 3 just back off without putting in any challenge or pressure on the ball (just like the first Newcastle goal today).

Funny to think that in some of the articles comparing the 04/05 side to this one, Cahill is apparently equal to Carvalho. no way near.
