DDA 9,941 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Make no mistake, David Luiz was horrific defensively today. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I don't think his performance was terrible or anything. In fact, if it wasn't for him I don't think we would have come even close to almsot equalising. Sure, he fucked up for the Vokes header but who did you see rallying up the troops in the 2nd half? David. His leadership was on full-display, I highly doubt Christensen and Rüdiger would have settled in this easily if David wasn't playing by their side.

Last Sicarius 610 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He should be captain instead of Cahill. Next match he will play with Kante dp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Great game from David today, solid and sure. He actually played a DM rather then CB from what I've seen. Looks like a proper leader on the pitch for me. The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAM09 7,056 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Had a few shaking points to start but was immense for the most part and played a huge role in the winner. Always gives his all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 To me this guy is captain. Sometimes he does the wrong thing, but I dont know if there is anyone on the pitch who wants to win more than him. Thor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought all three in midfield stepped it up. Baka's mistake aside he improved a lot too. Captain-like stuff from Luiz in the second half.

DoubleO 192 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The first half was awful, but fortunately he was much better during the second half. Even though he made the crucial interception in our second goal, I have and probably always will prefer him in the defensive line. His ball control is just too shaky to be a midfielder in my opinion. But no matter what position he's playing, the attitude this lad is unbelievable. We were lucky to get him back from PSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Thought he did very well. His one and only function in midfield was to do the dirty work and match up to Wanyama/Dembele in physical battles, not to let us be run over. Probably the toughest job on the pitch today. He did this to the best of his ability to help the team. And he also got into the box and swept balls away like he normally does. Great player to have. blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel luiz actually did it hat beautifully especially in the second half with composure and smarty short passes mixed in with runs and long balls. we just can't ignore that we had not possession up the field here William and morata had only moments. You just can't control tempo without outlets to pass the ball to. When we play all defense counter attacking like today we will not have much of the ball no matter who plays. for luiz to play more in the midddle we'd have to change the system. 4 in the mid would do wonders for him and fabregas too btw!

Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not a midfielder for me, only should be considered an option there when an extreme situation calls for it, as it was the case against Spurs. That being said, if Matic was the one who made that interception leading to Alonso's second god knows how much media would have talked about him being the greatest DM of all time.

Thor 2,712 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He was awesome as usual. Luiz for some reason will always carry around the stigma of earlier in his career at Chelsea, which even then was undeserved, but he is our rock at the back. For me, he is the most sure out of all our defenders. Hope Christensen sticks by Luiz closely in training. Possesses all the attributes Luiz does, but needs to add on the weight to get a bit stronger. Gilvorak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
