ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Indeed, him and Terry were superb. Mourinho got a few more of the answers he needed today.Spotless defending and that pass to Torres in Mata's disallowed goal was mesmerising.

ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I almost hugged the telly when I saw that yesterday. I can't help but like Paulinho, the lad, who at 17, was getting stones and bananas thrown at him 24/7 on the streets of Lithuania, suffered from depression and now is where he is today.The boy is a Spurs player but is a man of character, were that Bale being tugged by Iva in the first half in the box he would have thrown himself to the ground like the gazelle on ice he is to con the ref to get a penalty, Paulinho stayed on his feet like a man should. F**k Spurs but kudos to him. Kieran. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NishC300 1,865 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why do commentators constantly critcise Luiz as being a poor defender? He plays regularly for the Brazilian side ahead of Dante. Luiz is our best CB IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Mourinho has changed him. He doesn't go aimlessly forward again. I feel safer now in our defence with him and terry. Tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It took 4 minutes for the co-commentator to have a little dig Tonight shows why he and JT is our best CB pair. The_Flash and Rmpr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 One of the best CBs in the world no question. Definitely top 10, even top 5 for me. Thiago Silva - Luiz is the best CB partnership in the world. Brazil are very lucky. Rmpr, Barbara and Tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 In the stats article I wrote is the clear evidence of how immense this lad is. Immense!He was absolutely superb and if that isn't a world-class performance I don't what else is!from the article:Luiz pro-activeness: 10 times Luiz anticipated his opponents, intercepting the ball and regaining possession for Chelsea.No player contributed more positively to the match than David Luiz. The Brazilian had 25 highlighted contributions, only two of which negatively. The center back contributed with solid defensive skills, good passes to link up with the attack, but the stat that pops among his contributions is the amount of times he moved from his expected position, and anticipated his opponents, intercepting the ball and regaining possession for Chelsea. He did it ten times during the match. Beigl, Stats, Tomo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Flash 1,144 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I kinda liked him going forward got some good goals but it's obvious Jose has told him to stay at the back, ah we'll still got Ivan and Terry hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I kinda liked him going forward got some good goals but it's obvious Jose has told him to stay at the back, ah we'll still got Ivan and Terry heheHe rarely goes forward for Brazil.I reckon it's all about strategy; in some games, especially at home against a team playing 11 men behind the ball, David will get the freedom to venture forward which can be, as it has in the past, a surprise factor. It's an invaluable asset to have a player with such characteristic, who can dynamically switch roles during a match.It's up to him, manager, and teammates to synchronize that movement. Honestly, ppl make it out to be harder than it actually is.Also, people, esp commentators, confuse his (occasional) bad positioning with his ability (and freedom) to go forward - completely different things. He can and should work on his positioning, as it is his weakness. The going forward part is more about instruction and strategy (from manager) than anything else.Update: I've just watched the CL match against Steaua and you can clearly see in the 26" when David makes a run and stays up, Ivanovic then becomes the CB. When David gets back to his position, Iva moves wide again. This is a movement that Azpi for example cannot do. It could be yet another reason Iva is Jose's choice as a RB. BTW, he'd be mine as well.
