From a defensive point of view, he can be much more effective, much more solid. But, for me, the potential is incredible, amazing.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thank fuck! Hope all you guys who think Luiz is a midfielder will stop talking now. He was an awful midfielder and a borderline liability at times. Benitez was clueless.That's Not what u quoted btw. He also said, "He CAN help the team playing in other positions."Have no idea how you went from that to "he's an awful midfielder." I guess we hear what we want to hear.Of course he is a CB first, but CAN play in the midfield, which is something Mourinho obviously values. bleed_blue, Henrique, semiller1313 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an awful midfielder and a borderline liability at times. Benitez was clueless.How did you reach at that conclusion?That is some comprehension skills you got there, mate.Edit: He was such a liability that we won only 12 of the 15 games that he started for us in midfield.

Henrique 9,133 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thank fuck! Hope all you guys who think Luiz is a midfielder will stop talking now. He was an awful midfielder and a borderline liability at times. Benitez was clueless.It seems you are the clueless here, because even Mourinho said he can help the team playing in another position. Benitez never said he was a midfielder, he just said the could play as a DM, and it seems Mourinho agrees with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez never said he was a midfielder, he just said the could play as a DM, and it seems Mourinho agrees with that.'He can help the team in another position' is about as flippant a remark he can make about Luiz midfield abilities. It was a qualifying statement to confirm that he will be a CB full-time. "Yeah he can BUT..." Do you know what qualifying a statement means? It's unbelievable that some of you are speaking about my comprehension skills. If you have inferred from that comment that Luiz will play in midfield again, or that he is even a serious option, then you have misunderstood completely what Mourinho is saying.Read it again, without the qualifying statement since that seems to be giving some of you trouble, and let it sink in: "For me, Luiz is a central defender...no doubt about it" Gilvorak, Bir_CFC, Peace. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is NO FUCKING WAY someone can read ANY of the quotes and conclude that "He was an awful midfielder and a borderline liability at times. Benitez was clueless." That was your personal opinion and remains so.I reckon Luiz WILL play in the midfield in the next season. Hopefully not as often as he did for Benitez, that was overdone because of small squad, but it is a valid strategy for specific matches and opponents. For example during a match, moving David into the midfield by adding another CB could be a very effective strategy to secure a result against an opponent that is playing long balls.

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm just glad that Luiz is staying at Chelsea. A quality player, capable of playing CB and in the midfield when required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this statement basicaly confirms that Luiz is indeed a CB - "For me, Luiz is a central defender...no doubt about it"" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
