David Luiz

[Tomo 21,751]

Maybe even Iva?

I dont know, obviousley Cahill+Luiz isnt that great (yet), but I feel that Luiz is getting alot more shit than he should. And Cahill really isnt that much better than him.

Our strongest combo has been Luiz+Terry,

It genuinely bemuses when i see comments giving Luiz flack then bigging up Cahill in the same paragraph. Cahill's clearly the new fan sensation, he could probably deliberately score an own goal and most won't bat an eyelid.

That is an overstatement to say the least. Just check our last match thread to see the criticism that Garry has received. I think he has been average this season; had a couple of great performances like Tottenham and a couple bad performances like Manu and WBA. He's also popped up with some important goals and an assist.

It's a bit harsh saying that people defend Cahill beyond reason especially after defending Luiz when he has had some inexcusable performances the past month.

I think they have both been awful since the International break yet Luiz gets so much more flack, i have seen comments saying Luiz should not even be considered a CB yet in the same comment suggesting Cahill should be a first choice one.

Luiz is better then cahill, at least he should be. Cahill is probably still a better defender tho.

Cahill might be abit better in the cahill+luiz partnership, but Luiz is ALOT better with Terry than Cahill is with Luiz.

Aye but terry wont be around much longer, and if cahill works better with iva, as Terry works well with everyone more or less, we might have to go the route, i really like luiz as ive always said but if he dosent work he dosent work send him to midfield if not.

Ivanovic and Luiz had solid games together last term. Ivanovic and Cahill have played together twice (neither time we kept a clean sheet) we need to wait a while before proclaiming them some great partnership. Plus you say Terry won't be around for ever, Ivan is 29 soon, he isn't too far behind JT himself.

Well see how it goes, im not sure about how solid david luiz is full stop but i'd like him to do well.

Agree with that one. If Terry were fit, neither should be near the starting XI atm.

Yeah I really dont know... not long ago we looked really solid defensively but lately we've looked really shaky.

Problem is that if Luiz goes midfield then we need at least 1 more CB, probably 2 even because Terry wont be around for much longer.

But I would really like to see something like below here in a game:

Azpi - Cahill - Terry - Cole

Ramires - Luiz

David Luzi! the Cancer of CFC at the moment.

[didierforever 7,349]

unbelievable that luiz and torres are still here and rdm is gone. disgrace.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Rafa will put him in place. Clowning around is over.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

It's simple, Luiz needs Terry next to him to perform his best.

If that's true then Luiz is a terrible defender. Relying on other defenders to make him look good. The whole world can see Luiz is a bad defender. Time to stop with your (Chelsea fans in General) delusions.

He's made a lot of mistakes recently but doesn't deserve this. Also I don't know if you get this, but the anti Luiz avatar is also anti Chelsea. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I hope so but Ancelotti, AVB, and RDM all couldn't get Luiz to behave long-term. He had brief periods of greatness followed by relapses into schoolyard football. I don't think any manager says to him "Hey David, how about you just kick the ball long to the other team 2, 3 times a game. Then, sort of wander around the midfield aimlessly for a while and then lose concentration." It's up to Luiz to straighten himself out at this point.
