NishC300 1,865 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 A hard tackling defender like him is essential in our style. Like @Strike, pointed out in his article, Ivanovic and Luiz could be our main defensive partnership both r aggressive defenders and do a good job with the ball on their feet. It's gr8 to have defenders like that in a side that dominates possession. Luiz hard tackling nature and tendency to dive into tackles (something which many ppl have been criticising) helped in getting the 2 goals at Old Trafford. Our midfielders often fail to get tackles and help us in maintaining possession atleast we've got a CB who does that? Do u guyz think that Luiz should play at CM and someone else should partner Iva at the Centre? BlueLion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Luiz + ivanovic have 4 clean sheets in 5games. Best centre back pairing. Mceachran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman2610 1,417 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 commented on match thread but I have a change in him. It looks as if the player has taken it upon himself to prove his critics wrong. And as stats show when partnered with Ivanovic he looks quality put in some very goo performances. I think bar necessary rotation we have to play the remaining matches with these two anchoring the back four. Not world class yet but definately class. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! robsblubot 3,595 Posted April 5, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted April 5, 2013 no mention to that fantastic assist to torres for the first goal?! That's called class.You know, the game was scoreless by then, so technically, we don't know what'd have happened had he not had that wonderful bit of class... In football all players are involved in the play at all times; so, when we have a defender as skillful as Luiz, that can really become an asset, especially when all other things are equal.

manpe 10,861 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Great pass for the assist. Was also a bully in defence and often played as a third man in midfield. Would be my 2nd choice for motm after Torres. Sent from my GT-S5660 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 When Luiz plays well, the team does. He might not be the best player defensively we have for the centre-back positions, but his footballing ability and drive are potent attacking tools. Even just by carrying the ball 40 yards forward as he so often does, from defence to midfield, he acts as an important attacking fulcrum.

Popular Post! Henrique 9,133 Posted April 7, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted April 7, 2013 Besides his hair, the reason I love David Luiz is the way he get involved in big matches. Watched again the UCL final, and David Luiz had a special connection with the crowd.Here he is facing the german crowd after he scored his goal:Celebrating Robben miss with Chelsea fans:And he was the only player to turn to Chelsea crowd to celebrate when Cech saved the penalties: sLOVEnian Blue, Peace., kellzfresh and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 He also consoled Mata after he missed the penalty.Luiz is a good guy to have in the locker room and for the fans to interact with.

Milan 17,958 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Juan also said about Luiz that he tries to be a happy person and actually is one. Even after defeats, he is naturally frustrated but after some minutes he is already trying to make other players smile again. Beautiful character.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Luiz is all nice and everything, but he must stop making some silly mistakes!I dont know if it is because of T. Silva's ugly looks at him or the enormous pressure of Brazilian shirt, but he is superb with the National Team. He maintains his amazing football skills, but he doesnt do some crazy shits he does with us...I am of the opinion Luiz needs a top polarizing defender besides him to thrive at Chelsea. Thiago Silva or Young John Terry like... bababoom and Backstreet09 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Dont know whether my eye's are deceiving me or are we finally seeing luiz mature into that fine defender all of us thought he had the potential to become.I am praying that he keeps performing like this and does not go back to being that mistake prone defender again. sLOVEnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I said it before and will say it again.D.luiz + ivanovic = chelsea best CB pairingIf it wasn't for the own goal, it will be 5 clean sheets in 6 games for them The Skipper and nadavTKL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It is seemingly chic for football journalists and pundits to have constant digs at David Luiz, and to be honest it grinds at my nerves. He is an easy target because he made a reputation for being rash in his first few Chelsea games. Though it doesn't surprise me that many jounalists and pundits are actually naive and ignorant to what David is capable of.This for instance: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1595871-15-most-frustratingly-inconsistent-footballers-in-europe-this-season/page/12Here are several reasons why Luiz shouldn't have been the captain. 1. He is one of the worst players on the national team. 2. How can he speak with authority when he doesn't even play centre-back properly?3. David has enough problems trying to play a clean game, so adding the stress that comes with being a captain makes no sense. At 18 years of age, Marquinhos is already a better CB than Luiz. semiller1313 and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,958 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 http://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/chelsea/fa-cup/news/luiz-to-miss-fa-cup-encounter_78661.htmlSo basically, if David Luiz receives a yellow card against City, he will miss two following domestic matches, meaning two following league games. BUT after the weekend everything expires and there would be no risk.The question is - play him against City and risk it or leaving him out and allowing him to surely play in the league? Finishing in top 4 is THE priority but he would be really missed in the FA Cup clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
