incometax 116 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 So far this season :- 15 games played.- Only 4 clean sheets ; against Stoke, Leverkusen, Fulham and Genk.- 17 goals conceeded.-> So, is Luiz the liability, is he clumsy ? No. The liability is our whole defense. And I still believe he is our best defender.David luiz is aggressive but not clumsy. At times he may pay the price, but I am of the stance hes a world class defender at defending. Hes got pace, technical ability to tackle intercept, good in the air and always full of confidence.

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Our most solid displays have came with David Luiz playing, coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 And only one in PL.For me its not a coincidence that it happened when VB decided Terry-Ivanovic is our main defence.Ivanovic should be right back. Terry-Ivanovic is an awful partnership, specially now that Terry keeps playing because of his name.Yep. Our two center backs should be Luiz-Terry for two reasons : Because we can't keep going with Bosingwa at this spot. He isn't even good enough to make the bench imo. Therefore, Ivanovic has to be our right back.Because Luiz-Terry partnership is way more better than Iva-Terry (I think a pair Ivanovic-Luiz might be better, but since the serbian has to be RB...).

Why not pair them up a few more times this season and see if it gets us clean sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I agree with Peace. Our best defense is made of Cole, Terry, Luiz and Ivanovic. When Luiz goes forward Bran can also cover for him.Someone has to be a scrapegoat for our bad defense so the dice fell on Luiz. I really like him and I think we missed him today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is a decent RB.Terry has become an awful defender, only playing because of his name.Terry+Ivanovic is not our best CB partnership.

manpe 10,861 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Someone has to be a scrapegoat for our bad defense so the dice fell on Luiz. I really like him and I think we missed him today Our defence will be fine once Bosingwa gets replaced by a proper defender, not an attacker who starts runs from deep. I agree, we should play Ivan, Luiz, Terry and Cole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mceachran 109 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think Luiz has the POTENTIAL to be a fantastic defender. The way he plays is simply too naive sometimes. His energy is absolutely fabulous and we can exploit that sometimes. Perhaps Terry and whomever else is next to Luiz should predict his immature decisions sometimes and be quick to cover up for him when he misses a big tackle etc.But I think that will come down to the coaching staff and senior players. they need to take a vested interest in the fact that with some added professionalism and maturity he could grow to be one of the greatest backs in the world! laura90 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
