DDA 9,938 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I know certain people will be annoyed by me saying this but why we don't play Luiz in the double pivot role is beyond me. He has everything you need to own that position and I would much rather his speed and directness than Mikels dilly dallying. At CB Luiz has a lack of positional awareness and it would be better to have him wondering out of the double pivot role than leaving a massive gap in the back line.....Would like to see him partner Romeu who is positional awareness is very disciplined and effective when defending this allowing Luiz the freedom to push up with attack.... Just give it a go... RDM....nothing to lose by trying him there for a few games. This would free up CB too and allow Cahill and JT to crack on with their incredible partnership.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Needs to sharpen up again. He lost Nasri for the third goal, although the game was ruined before that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 he should be given a "go" at CDM, and DDA is right, what the worst with that idea? he has an eye for goal, and has tricks of likes of a winger. him and rambo in midfield, i mean that is not bad if you look beyond the names and just look at their skill set. luiz has a 10x better arial passing game than mikel. also has nice through ball passes and doesnt hold on to ball as much as he used to. also he CAN defend so he wont be liabilty (not sayin mikel cant defend though). then rambo is a box to box so you no if luiz is caught forward rambo is there to break up play like he usually does. those two is not as bad as it 'sounds'. but surely we would need to 'see' it.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 He won't work in midfield. How many times have we seen a defender good at going forward then he gets put up field and flops completely.Luiz will be no different, TorontoChelsea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Used to play as a midfielder when he was younger, wasn't good enough to play there, was played at CB, where he was obviously better by the time hes a Brazilian international footballer. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I thought he was pretty good against City, but when Toure was out wide that was fucking criminal, he has to do better than that, his tackle wasn't strong enough then he just let him play it through to Nasri. I expect Luiz to show some more quality than that and take a gamble, but he stood there instead. Still though I'm going too far with criminal I'll admit, it's not the easiest of things to defend.Still happy with him though, i expect him to be our best defender by the end of the season i really do.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah he was aggressive and made some fouls, but didn't get booked for any of em. Happy with that, plus if you aren't aggressive with them dribbling midgets they will run around you fairly easy and with the lack of cover Lamps and Mikel were providing that wouldn't have give him much confidence either.If you're moving forward with the defender and leaving a hole in the back, you better get the ball and/or the man, especially when your DMs aren't providing the appropriate cover, nothing wrong with that.

Jase 43,479 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Apparently, Luiz picked up an injury in Brazil's match against Sweden last night. Not sure about the severity of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
