CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The best CB in the league. By a mile! And to think so much of our fan base was against him coming back. If it weren't for Kante, he'd probably be the signing of the season. LondonsFinest, Stats, Blue-in-me-Veins and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,145 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Crazy to think that Brazil continue to exclude him from the squad. Must be a non-related football issue. Brazil rarely seem to pick players on merit anyway. Him being left behind is our blessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 He is the type of player that needs his manager to be truly invested in him, well coached he is one of the best CB's around. Conte and Rafa worked hard on him and reaped the reward's, Jose and Carlo couldn't really be bothered and reverted to the "safer" option's of Cahill and Alex after a while and AVB and RDM aren't coaches that know defending to put it mildly.

He's probably been the best Brazilian CB in the world this season, but his knee is still quite banged up so I'll take the rest over some internationals they don't really need him in. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a vid of him when he 1st joined us and liked him ever since. He came across really like a nice guy who would do all he could for anyone. And very humble. The Don said he could turn him into one of the best CBs going and many of our supporters gave a titter and tho he might not be the best I'm more than happy that we got him. Lets see if he gets a strong guy to his left it will make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone went mental when Conte said that a while back and everybody laughed at him and Luiz.  And look at Conte, Luiz and us now.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I thought he had a poor game today. Not playing as consisently well as he did earlier this season. Hopefully he is ready for the Man City challenge. blueblood22 and Unionjack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Sicarius 610 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 He looked so lost today, made some fauls and Zaha was playing on him. We need him in best form vs City. Unionjack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll pick it up, he usually does well in big games. Fernando, Amblève., Unionjack and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccg 1,528 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Yeah Benteke showed Luiz's weakness, tho the whole team defended like last season for the 2 goals yuk , if only we had a superfit Zouma , at least against city there will be no physical battle for him apart from the Aguero-Luiz feud.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thought he was horrific today.....Switched off 4-5 times and and then once the game was out of reach just played where he wanted too. He loses all composure when we are behind, mentally he's very poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 In games like this you just realise Luiz is still a clown he used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 He's been largely impressive this season but lately, he's been playing like the frustrating and error-prone Luiz we've come to know over the years. Why did he decide to drop in and play Rashford onside was beyond me. It's the same blunder he made against Hernandez 6 years ago at United.

The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think he's clearly injured. Luiz is physically very good but it looks like he's playing with one leg sometimes. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
