David Luiz

I wish we'd use him in midfield sometimes like in the CC to see what he can do there, he's such a great footballer but a rather dodgy defender. I seem to think his true potential isn't used when he's at the back. Ok... he's scored 3 goals for us playing at CB but he coulda had treble that. 2 of those goals were genuine class goals too, not from corners or scraps.

That might be a tactic AVB can use in the future.

Take out Mikel and move David Luiz up more to attacking role, in those games we need to open up the game badly.

Cause there is no point in having 4 defenders with a team that parks the bus!

Yh this is exactly what I was talking about with my friends today. He obviously has the talent and skills to go forward. We should certainly try him in a defensive midfield position.

Ive said it many times if we want to play the defensive high line then this guy is a must against any half decent opposition.

Sorry but i really don't but the he is a dodgy defender shite, he has made a couple of reckless challengers and giving away 2 penalties (one of which was not a penalty and the other we were 3-0 up). Ok he maybe a bit reckless at times but do you want me to get started on the amount of dodgy free kicks Ricardo Carvalho use to give away in dangerous areas yet no-one was claiming he should move to LB or DM.

Manchester United and Manchester City home games last season other examples, i still maintain had he not played we would have lost, because we would not have broken either side down and neither away side created a clear cut opportunity in either match and that was down to Luiz.

Is it a coinsidence that our worst display's in the second half of last season came in the last 2 games after Carlo dropped Luiz? i think not.

Is it a coinsidence our most solid defensive performance of this season came against Levekusen which is so far his only game of this season? i think not.

GOt this from his wiki page.

David Luiz arrived in Esporte Clube Vitória at the age of 14 after being released by São Paulo FC,[2] and started playing as a defensive midfielder, almost leaving the club for his poor performances in that position

If you want him in defensive midfield be careful what you wish for.
