Cahill is so much underrated. Luiz is certainly better with attacking and passing but Cahill is really good at tackling. Cahill has been a good player for us except for last season, I do think the hate around him is unjustified.

Can`t wait until we beat United with Luiz in the team and the look on Mourinho`s face that the player he got rid would come back to haunt him again like in CL with PSG

You can hate Mourinho for all u like but can u really blame him for selling Luiz. 50 M is a really huge sum. The fact that the money wasn't put to good use is justified but not really can the selling of Luiz be.

It all started that night he bullied Rooney in that 2-1 when he scored, since then the media have been out to get him and United fans have become almost deranged in theirΒ obsessionΒ with him, whenever he makes an even slight mistake those lot are on it like vultures.

Good memories.

Oh I don`t hate Mourinho for selling Luiz at all 50m is a huge sum of money, what I dislike is how he left our club so that he could join the club he really wanted if he was going to come back to the PL. It was no secret we were his second choice and he only took the job until his Manchester spot became available. He had us near the bottom 1 point above relegation, you can`t justify that with a team that less than few months before walked the league. Β

that's why both are only good players, not even great.

One could argue that Luiz characteristics are rarer especially in CBs, which could give the team an edge, while another may say it Cahill's composure is a better quality.

My take is that they are at about the same level, despite being completely different players - both well below what JT used to be.

Same with every "top" CB. They all make errors but because David is so colorful, outgoing, and such a huge personality he's scrutinized and criticized more than anyone else.

How many times did we see Kompany make stupid errors the last time he was fit for an extended period? So many. Ramos isΒ hugelyΒ mistake prone. Thiago Silva is considered one of the two best CB's in the world but makes mistakes.

Gab Marcotti wrote a piece for ESPN this morning about Luiz and summed him up perfectly - WhenΒ he does well no one remembers. When he does poorly no one forgets.Β 

Hes a very good player the vast majority of the time and no one says anything. He has a single howler and its front page news.Β

Forget JT and Cahill, Kante made Morgan and Huth look world beaters.Β I have deliberately kept a close eye on him in games since about April and Leicester's title win makes more and more sense every time i watch him.

Crazy how Huth was released from Stoke then was arguably top3 central defender in England. But that's Kante for you. I hope that he makes David look good but I really hope Conte actually makes him good. If both fail then I'm afraid David Luiz cannot be cured.
