David Luiz

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

Erratic and was caught out on the goal ,needs to watch how JT positions himself ,but has the ability to be great if he learns the percentage game.

That goal was due to a world class cross, but if you're gonna blame players then do it fairly and properly.

Ashley allowed the cross to be whipped in, Terry lost the header and Luiz didn't reach the follow up. All 3 are to blame. but that's football, it's a game of goals.

agreed. In truth the defense got overwhelmed, which raises the question about the midfield, but if we go by the defensive mistakes alone, Terry lost the first header and then put David in on the wrong side of the striker. That type of ball is very difficult to defend against, but I wouldn't blame Terry either, because the cross was perfect.

On other areas, I thought he was pretty good and Norwich manager obviously asked their striker to try and prevent David's runs.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think every player in our defense was 1x1 against his marker. That's just asking to concede.

Agree, but I'm pretty sure the cross came from the right, meaning Iva and not Ashley.

My bad, it was such a sucker punch of a goal. The point still stands though.

Yes, it came from the right but Ivanovic was in the penalty box then and one of Mata or Oscar was tracking Olsson and didn't really put enough pressure on the cross.

Yeah, it was Oscar:

Seems like it having looked at the players running on the near side. Couldn't tell before as that fella was running like Mata but look slight in frame like Oscar.

And Mourinho won't like that from Oscar...

[meetdoscar 335]

He was really good defensively today. People may argue but he is clearly the best defender when he is on his game like today and against steau bacharest for chelsea and it shows almost to the point of intimidating attackers to unforced errors. He is really aggressive on the pitch for a nice guy.

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

He looked frightening today, Mourinho is making him a very very tough lad to play against. Never mind row z, he'll boot it out of the stadium if he needs to now.

[Special Juan 28,141]

I said under Jose this lad could be anything he wants, I still stand by that. I honestly think this lad will be one of the best centre backs in the world in the next two years.

World Class performance against S. Korea (friendly). Absolutely dominant with great interceptions. Dante looked like a simple good defender next to Luiz. Nothing wrong with that, but the difference in quality is evident.

Exactly what I thought. I don't wanna talk down on Dante because he's a great player but he looked average next to Luiz. David was intercepting every Korean attack. All these pundits can talk as much shit as they want, while he's out there captaining Brazil like a fucking boss.
