Jase 43,479 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I don't know how long more we can take this. Absolutely pathetic from him. Haven't ventured forward in last dozen of matches and he suddenly does it and lose the ball, as always. He just never learned, does he? Must have gotten overconfident having scored the penalty!

Strike 7,489 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 No point discussing how good he is defensively if he keeps making silly mistakes. 2 freakin years have passed and he's still committing school-boy errors. absolutely ridiculous Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 He just needs to stay in his area and pass to either of the two players in the pivots. The ones who actually have the luxury of time to look for a pass!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He probably misses Terry the most. He's always been erratic and all, but since Terry started to serve his ban, he's made more errors (or at least that's how it seems), and his performance has been unacceptable in general. For example, today, he decided to dribble all the way up the pitch with the score tied at 1-1 in the first half. I don't think he would have done that had Terry played alongside him. I still think that, however, Luiz is a vital part of our defense. His pace really makes up for Terry's lack of pace. He also makes some excellent challenges, though he's been a bit too enthusiastic and mistimed many recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Getting tired of him really. Has shown no improvement. If anything he's regressed...Is not a long term option to play in midfield either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskoviolente 425 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 He has bad patches once in a while. The two United games weren´t his best, but before that he was very good. I think he probably just needs a rest to adjust his game and an adress by RDM and Terry about staying back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 lol wait can find something strange xDSome of the bastards talk some sense though. This quote really stood out for me:He plays like Lucio used to. He'll develop properly, but the patience shown by Chelsea is astounding.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 REALY love this guy but he should be benched fast when he's in that kind of form... happend last season also and he got his form back with RDM. it will take more time for him to be as good as we thought he can be, still want him to stay with us for years.

calculatingInfinity 1,472 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thought he was rather good in both Manchester matches except when he was dumb enough to lost the ball in the middle. Many people completely forget how Cahill messed up in the first match and let RVP break free from him with U17 run, just think Luiz looks more like a clown whenever he loses the ball due to his play style.

diskoviolente 425 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 People just see Luiz more because of his looks. Every good centre half cocks up on regular basis, but it goes unnoticed most of the times.DL4 is a Champions League winner for us, basicially gave his all for us since he´s been playing for Chelsea, so I think he deserves more respect. He is an unusall defender and yes, his erratic runs have to stop, but other than that he´s fantastic. Peace. and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSS 372 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 This guy is a good defender but he makes waay to much mistakes.. he should not make any other forward runs he should know his position and that is the defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 People just see Luiz more because of his looks.

He is an unusall defender and yes, his erratic runs have to stop, but other than that he´s fantastic.Jose Bosingwa and Kalou are also a CL winner for us and they got no respect. Luiz was playing well but recently has hit a relly bad patch. And no, great centre backs don't make the mistakes Luiz makes. Every defender will sometimes be late to get to their man, sometimes they won't communicate properly and let someone get by them, sometimes they aren't positioned properly. They don't launch 3 useless passes upfield every game. They don't wander into midfield attacking and cough up the ball. That's what's so frustrating. The mistakes are childish and pointless. Chelsea should be trying to build from the back. Luiz's long attacking passes are terrible and yet, he doesn't stop. Chelsea play a very attacking squad, we don't need our centre back to rush up with the ball. He does all the time and yesterday is just the first time it burned us. His job is to defend and when he concentrates on that, he's very good at it but he doesn't seem to be able to mature as a player. It's not like an issue of confidence which is tricky or an issue of positional awareness which takes time. These are simple mistakes that he just keeps making. I'm not saying we should see him or anything so rash (although if there really was an offer for 30M pounds, I would have snapped it up in a second) just that I think he needs a talking to (which I can't believe he hasn't got before so maybe he just needs to listen) and maybe a seat on the bench for a couple of games once Terry comes back.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Luiz hasn't been on form past 2 games but I need to make something clear.Firstly, he wasn't our worst defender against United in PL (wasn't good either). I thought Cahill was def poorer than him against United. And, the way Cole was playing anyone on that left side would have had their hands full. Cole had a brain fart of a game.Secondly, the 2nd united goal was definitely not Luiz's fault. Yeah he went forward and lost the ball but he had more than enough cover. He actually picked a good time to make that run. He was at fault for loosing the ball but Chelsea had enough players back. Cahill also was poor in his positioning but you also have to give credit to an amazing Anderson through ball and a very good first touch and finish to Cuntarito. (Luiz and Cahill take blame 50% each).Thought he was pretty good for the rest of the match too.His errors get noticed because of who he is and the reputation he's garnered but imo he's def better than Cahill.

5354 204 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 i think adapting made him worst loli love him when he intially just came... love it when he pinches the ball off strikers.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 When he is with Terry he is great, when he with Ivanovic he is ok, when he is with Cahill he is terrible.Swap Cahill for Luiz in that sentence and its the same with Cahill.If you take out the matches he has played with Cahill, our defensive record when Luiz plays is actually very good, only Villa at home and City in the community shield have we conceded 3 or more with Luiz playing for us other than with Cahill.
