Henrique 9,133 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 What happened in the goal: Ramires failed to mark an Everton player who received the ball. Luiz went to mark him and let Ivanovic to mark 2 players. It was a typical collective mistake, I dont know why Luiz is an easy target for the idiots. pHaRaOn, semiller1313 and Sheva. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Also, we fans, in general, have this strange reasoning that when we swap players we gain the replacement's virtues without his shortcomings. It's as if we purposely forget the weakness of the player who (in our opinion) should've played TM. Perhaps it's just a case of "the grass is always greener..."My point being that when Cahill is on, his weaknesses are exploitable, tracking back, lack of mobility and his lesser contribution in attack (compared to David). It's the same when David plays, we have to handle -- as a team -- his shortcomings. That's called teamwork.Terry and Cahill are the same player; they have the same virtues as well as shortcomings. They are both very good in the air, composed, but lack agility and mobility. The team becomes more stretched when they play because they don't push forward with the other lines. David and either one of them makes a perfect pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 God it happens, all the time, its not the end of the world. We should have scored about five in that game and it wouldnt matter. WE NEED GOALS FROM SOMEWHERE.I was very hopeful this year, but we don't seem to be carrying on as we left off last year. Come on guys, lets do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God job shame about most of the rest of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ah and the "blame Luiz for every goal/loss" song is slowly starting up again I see.Its within reason, i mean what was he doing for Benteke's goal last month? and his performance in the 5-3 defeat to Arsenal shows he is a liability, its like he wasn't even playing Barbara, Blue Armour and The Skipper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,438 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 So much for that "Mourino hates Luiz" rumour.Mourinho knows how useful Luiz can be to this team. Its why he has started the past 3 games, and today he showed how his passing from deep can help create chances.He knows there maybe some risk, due to Luiz's tendency to press higher up and get caught out of position...but when you have defenders that can provide like Brana or Terry to provide cover..the benefits far exceed any potential problems.

I also remember when we beat Arsenal 2-1 at The Emirates, Luiz got took off and Arsenal started laying siege to our goal.I think our priority next season should be getting a long term partner in central defense to play with him, if only Subotic didn't sign a new contract with Dortmund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Funny thing is: Cahill was the one to blame for the 2nd goal, but his topic is quiet as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kaplan- 410 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 How can you be so great for the Confederations Cup, but go to shit at club level?Are people looking at the right thing to blame, or the easy thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
