BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 sorry but that last goal was a Ferdinand own goal. or was it officially given to Bob?Why would it be an own goal? The original effort was on target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Why would it be an own goal? The original effort was on target.how can you be sure? there was so little time between Bob's and Rio's touches that it's impossible to know the trajectory of the ball's initial flight. but if the goal was officially given to Luiz, then no sweat, I'm just a fact freak.

francozola 2,040 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 He's the only one that takes any initiative in games, apart from Mata. The rest are simply going through the motions. Every time he goes forward, he's frantically signalling for someone to make a run. Just shows how static the rest of them are.You know it's a sad state of affairs when your central defender is the one trying to spur the team on and create something.The run yesterday where he jinxed past 3 or 4 players and was making his way towards the penalty area was superb. Managed to get a free-kick in a good position too.This is from weaintgotnohistory about that run:For our first example I'll take a look at a marauding run by David Luiz on about the half hour mark. This is the run that eventually led to an excellent chance from a free kick, but really should have had better results from open play.As Luiz begins to turn to run towards the center of the pitch he has two excellent ares in which to play the ball to Torres. For a player of Luiz's ability either are fairly routine balls, so all Fernando has to do is make up his mind and pick one of the three runs I've drawn in. Any of those three will leave Luiz one on one and Ryan Bertrand with his defender on the outside shoulder. Looks like a golden opportunity...After failing to be decisive with his run Fernando decided to make the worthless run I've marked in grey. This cut off Ryan Bertrand's potentially excellent run and allowed the entire defense to collapse on Luiz, leaving him with only the unoccupied areas marked to pass the ball away to. Luckily for Chelsea, Luiz was fouled and we were bailed out. David Luiz wouldn't be the only one burned by an awful Torres decision though...Didn't post that just to hate on Torres but basically most of our players are the same way. They are just so fucking static all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 David was quality.Does it help them when Torres is so easy to defend and leaves them with no options?Birmingham easly used their two lines because Torres was useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I imagine Andre is not at all pleased with David, that third goal cost us a lot especially that we probably got the equalizer had we not conceded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ive said on another thread I would like to see Luiz in midfield not a DM but further forward where his pace and skill can hurt the opposition.3 or 4 years there then move back into defence Bosnian Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 He's bombing forward trying to create something for the team because noone else seems to be capable of creating anything. I'm not opposed to trying him in midfield but this isn't possible while Terry's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 He needs to stop these clownish moments he has every few games. Because otherwise he is a good defender. His mistakes are costing us goals. The problem is that it's not a result of lack of ability but a lack of concentration and a simple matter of using his BRAIN to decide what's the better option.He will hopefully learn. He has tremendous potential.The media go crazy everytime something happens. For example, did anyone from the media actually blame Cole for that third goal yesterday?!?! Nope. All I saw was them saying that Cole's exclusion from the starting line-up was scandalous. Ridiculous.His mistakes are bad and he needs to learn - quickly. But he is not the only problem we have. People should take a look at Cole, Cahill and Ivanovic's performances yesterday as well. Luiz's mistake "gifted" them a goal but none of the others were any better.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I imagine Andre is not at all pleased with David, that third goal cost us a lot especially that we probably got the equalizer had we not conceded.Tbf...It was Ashley Cole that allowed Cavani to ghost in, just like he did to Ivanovic. But yeah Luiz should have just booted the ball. Careless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Luiz was just well... being Luiz the other night. No doubt he has improved in recent games but there's just this thing in him where sometimes, he likes overcomplicate things defensively and ended up leaving the team expose.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Since there wasn't a topic about man of the match vs Birmingham (I think), then I thought I'd mention that in my eyes he was the MOM for us in that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 We've kept 13 clean sheets this year, Luiz started 11 of those games at average of a clean sheet every 2.45 games, without him we average one clean sheet in 6.Liability?????? ack17, Blue Armour and BlueLion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,314 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am going to use that 11 match stat if some muppet slags him off at West BromThere are however no stats that will tell you about his mental deficiencies. Of the 27 conceded he's likely been directly responsible for 7 whilst Boswinga can be held accountable for the other 20 Sheva. and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
