David Luiz

[Sidzeret 2,257]

well all i know is that, he has cost us atleast 3 points this season already(everton game), could have cost us another 2/3 today with his "defending" if u can call that. as for -1, i was really being generous.

No way..our strikers should take half the blame for the Everton game.

Most of the facebook fan page user's are clueless buffon's anyway, it's like reading post's from that biite member but 10 times worse, i remember one person said a couple of years back we should start an unfit Alex for our do or die clash against Valencia in the CL to give him a farewell.

What's worse is nearly 300 people liked it

as clearly showed in some comments in this very thread, you don't need to go to FB.

I fail to see how Luiz 'continuously' fails us as said by others here. I see him being flawless in many consecutive matches and no f**** being given here (let alone in social medias and English media) and when he does an individual mistake (like today) or when he's part of a collective mistake (like Everton) he's crucified as if he was the worst CB ever.

There are some things that I simply give up. Expect people making sense of Luiz and valuing him for what he is (an amazing defender - albeit one that can definitely improve) is one of those.

At some games Luiz performed well, but occasionally he blunders badly.

If Mandala in bought in January, Luiz should be sold, in my opinion.

If he continues to make these school boy´s mistakes, & he will, it won´t sit well with Jose.

oh!!! we must have seen different everton vs chelsea and norwich vs chelsea games.

also on a very very different side note, u actually believe luiz is worth 35mil? hazard was 32 mil, mata was 23, ozil is 42 and luiz is 35!!!!!!????

The Everton and Norwich goals were collective fault's were numerous players were at fault, one of them being Luiz.

Everton our whole team were dragged out of position pretty much which started from one of our attacking midfielders failing to close down space and the Norwich goal was a 3 way fuck up between Ivanovic for not closing down the cross and both Terry and Luiz for getting beaten in the air (they won't be the first defenders to lose out to Van Wolfswinkel and Pilkington).

You are being well, well to harsh.

[Tomo 21,751]

wow... luiz has been outperforming the CL finalists darkhorses. also i would say one of the best CB pair in the world, right now!!! (cant think of any other better)

They didn't win their CL final tho did they?

Luiz did.

While you mention it Subotic and Hummels both fucked up for Robben's winner, and did you see Hummels mistake against Real Madrid that led to Ronaldo's goal? just as bad as what Luiz did today, if not worse.

"all i wanted to say is said we could have bought 2 WC center-backs with 35mil. the first example that came to my mind was hummels-subotic (as they were , for me, the best CB pairing last season). but people have discarded all the other iportant points that i made before and after but have concentrated on these 2 names for some weird reason

(who were just instinctive names). "

5th time i am saying the same thing.

i have explained the everton goal before and going to say it again.

norwich i dont blame him completely but it was a reply to your "never made a mistake, this season".

[Tomo 21,751]

the only reason dante is playing is cos, BADSTUBER is gone for long.. (probably his carrer is gone.) and they dont have a bettr replacement. dante is no whre near WC. i mean WC class is vidic in his prime or JT in his prime.

i dint think dante is anywhere near that level.

Thiago Silva aside, i can't think of any defender close to that level playing today.

[bushman 2,043]

Luiz has been making too many mistakes in my opinion. Will he ever get better ? No, he will not.

Either we learn to live with it or he is sold. There are no ifs or buts here.

Borussia will not sell those two for a combined £35m, that price might just about be good enough to get one of them.

Plus if they know we have just sold Luiz for £35-40m, they will probably demand more if we go for any of their CB's.

Not one that was solely down to him, no, before yesterday.

Vidic (vs Sunderland), Terry (vs Arsenal), Cahill (vs Brazil), Alex (vs West Brom), Ivanovic (vs Swansea twice) on the top of my head have made mistakes just as bad as Luiz's yesterday, heck shall i mention Carvalho's back pass that threatened to hand United the title giftwrapped. I could mention plenty of other times they have made mistakes (obvious or tactical) for all them players but im too hungover to rack my brain back the last decade.

Pique takes as many risk's and sometimes gets caught out, but because he plays for Barcelona that's fine apparently. Cultured defenders add something different to their game, it's in their nature to take chances and sometimes will get caught out, but what they add to the table counteract's that. Like Neville said, Is it a coincidence that the Luiz's, Pique's and Lucio's off this world have won International tournaments while the play safe hoof into row Z defenders are getting knocked out early on?

20 mil for subotic would do the treat then. to think they would demand 35 mil for subotic is exagerattion. they sold gotze to their biggest and only league rivals in munich for 37 mil.

Because Gotze had a release clause, it's the only reason he was allowed to go their, let alone that cheaply.

since u are so adamant in thinking that luiz does not make silly stupid mistakes, i cant say any thing further. their is a reason he was so good last season, cos he dint play in defence. he is a liability and just like hansen said in motd, he would cost us many points if we continue with him. their is a reason why luiz's defensive mistakes are so talked about by critics and media over any mistake cahill, terry, iva, vidic etc make. and the reason is that their are so many of them.
