ChelseasMessiah 304 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Didn't have much to do defensively but did well on the ball to try and bypass our useless pivot. Except for the number of interceptions he made. He anticipated and sniffed out a few of their counter attack attempts. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could play with a higher line with quicker CBs in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Except for the number of interceptions he made. He anticipated and sniffed out a few of their counter attack attempts. Yeah, we tend to take that for granted, but it's a very important attribute. People tend to highlight David's mistakes but rarely the number of attacks he snuffs out before they even look dangerous by intercepting the balls to the attackers.

ephreak 42 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Tancredi saying in twitter this evening:I can confirm that there are concrete chances that David Luiz might leave for BarcelonaHe also mentions that all three parts are keen on this. Would be a stupid thing to let him leave. He has his ups and downs but I´m pretty confident that with time he will be very good and stable defender.But if it is true that he is keen to leave, then there is no reason to let him stay then...P.S I don´t believe this rumour, just thought some of you wanted to hear it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Right after the match this is what he tweets, all his accounts (facebook, twitter) are displaying Brazil NT t-shirt, WC themes. He should forget the fucking world cup and remember how to defende in a PL game, because Chelsea is the reason he is a CB for Brazil right now. His performance for the team today was a disgrace. He is my favorite player, and thats the reason why Im really sad with his attitude.David Luiz @DavidLuiz_432mBrazilian tip: if you go to World Cup you HAVE to take a coconut water on the beach. #ENGmeetsinBrazil http://www.theworldmeetsinbrasil.com Bosnian Blue, Despiadado.Maleante and Mufassir08 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 this match shows that the problem is not our defence but the fact that our mid so easily allow the opposition forwards to run at our back 4. simple as that.

Henrique 9,133 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 To be fair with Luiz he has been out for a long time, his match today was unusually poor and erratic (even by his standards). He played like a guy that never played the role before. Totally out of tempo. But his attitude this season has been really strange, and think his head is already in the WC.

xPetrCechx 13,570 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Call me crazy, but 30 mil for him, and i will sell him to anybody.With Cahill... Time to build a normal Defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to build a normal Defence.No you are not crazy, many people including me thought the same. He isn't even a world class defender, some how he is worth at least £30m in market nowadays while PROPER world class defenders like Silva is around the same. xPetrCechx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Oh how times change. In the summer people were telling Barcelona to fuck off and wanted to keep Luiz no matter the offer but now some of the same people would happily ship him off. What has he done wrong really, other than a couple of months ago have a few bad performances which didn't even result in the team losing points?

Some people are just shocking.When JT retires. David Luiz will be the best CB at this club! IMO our partnership should be Terry-Luiz! Luiz is a world class player and I saw a stunning analysis about him here by Gary Neville.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuL7MhAVJOQJust look at his passes! How often does he set up attacks from the deep or charge forward and help us apply pressure on an opponent! Jype, GeeMon and Tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mata was man of the season months ago, people were saying Drogba had to leave months before that Munich final, people were saying Lampard was disgrace and months later were saying the board was crazy to let him go, Mourinho was a supernatural manager months ago...

didierforever 7,349 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 i am not one to defend luiz and his on the field antics but our defensive "crisis" is not his fault. selling him and buying another CB would not solve the problem but would actually compond on the problem.luiz had a poor match and that was not cos he came to play after some weeks or something, he was great against bucuresti and i dint see any rustiness there. he was bad today, any defender who gets nug-megged twice in a match by jerome would have been poor. but as i was saying, our defensive problems lies in our midfielders. the cover provided by our DMs specially without oscar's workrate is shambolic. hence we have GC and DL having a hard time. while one defender keeps backing off, the other simply can help himself from trying to steal the ball off the STs foot. we require a DM more than a CB to change our fortunes. semiller1313 and BleedsBlue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
