DYC. 7,542 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 8 minutes ago, Tomo said: Whats this about him in midfield? It won't happen bar possibly the odd big game because .. A: Our defense needs upgrading and despite his flaws David a significant upgrade on Cahill and probably current JT too bar the leadership. B: Him in midfield doesn't actually work if we are playing anything other than counter attack. C: Conte wouldn't spend this much on a defender to play him out of position. Thank you. David Luiz is not a midfielder. Just because he can hit a long pass doesn't mean he's suited to midfield. His non-existant positional sense alone... A wrecking ball for a certain type of game/certain tactics at best. His athleticism has waned as well, making him even less suitable to midfield. As bad as Matic is now, he's easily a better midfielder than David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky 739 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 If Jose and Blanc could not fix his defensive flaws than there is very little chance Conte can turn this 29 yr old into a world class CB. Sigh. Trust me he will cost us over 10+ goals a season from his defensive brain farts.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz was one of the best CBs of the tournament before that horrible moment in history. We've all seen it. Luiz needs his partner to keep him in line; like a rabid dog on a leash. Thiago Silva was injured for that match and without him we all get to see the true Luiz. He never had a good tournament, Thiago Silva did. I'd rather not have a player that needs another to keep his insanity in check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so random and bizarre I'm struggling to make sense of it let alone. One thing I will say is that Chelsea is pure showbiz, no other club does this better haha.

But I don't want to take away from the fact that he did perform well individually. But yes, he does need training wheels. Every time I think about Luiz, I can't help but think of his awful performances vs Barcelona. I laughed so hard during those two legs in 14/15. I'll never understand how low his 'low' is.
