I was always in the camp

His primary task was to stop Henderson, which he performed superbly along with Lamps and latterly Mikel who stopped the service getting through to Suarez, this was one of the key ingredients to winning this game, obviously not taking anything away from JT's and Cahill's contribution either in marshalling the threat of Suarez.

Luiz's position splits opinion but I have always been firmly in the camp that he should play in midfield, we have lacked vision and awareness to start our attacks from deeper areas, our play has been slow and laborious, however we saw on Sunday he has the ability to move the ball quicker because he has the intelligence and confidence to pass the ball, this was obviously more notable in the first half. We also have the benefit of Luiz filling in for the CB's if they go forward, very similar to the way the great Makelele used to deputise for Carvalho when he used to bomb forward in Jose's first spell.

Unfortunately I'm not sure of Jose's intentions, this performance will at least give him food for thought......

I have always been firmly in the camp that he should play in defense but I agree with your post. With Terry performing this well, the current squad composition, and having seen his superb performance against Liverpool, I would also play him in midfield. Alongside Ramires with Hazard and Oscar in front of him. It will require a lot of positional discipline from all players but also a great combination of physical strength, players that can do a lot of kilometres and technical ability.

I am quite suprised that Lampard is getting that many games of Mourinho. Would really favor Luiz there now that he's back.

I ususally avoid this thread as it's depressing to read some of the things written about our very own sideshow bob. It seems a lot of people want him to be this robotic perfect defender who makes the

I mentioned David Luiz earlier on and it should be underlined that he had a fine game in midfield against Liverpool. His pass helped set up a goal and he was a dominating presence throughout. He has had a period out injured, so to come in for 90 minutes of midfield graft at this level and intensity was asking a lot, but he certainly didn't let anyone down. There was a great pass to Samuel Eto'o in the second half in the 'inside-right channel' that nearly put him through and it is just great to see him in there with his quality when needed.

An extract from Pat Nevin's latest report, hope Jose is taking note!

Fair play fella, think you are not alone in your original opinion, i concur that i would play Rami alongside him mainly due to his endless energy but I would interchange with Mata and Oscar depending on who we play. Unfortunately I cannot see jose playing him there unless his hand is forced.

Since last season he doesn't make big mistakes like the seasons before,but now,like today,many little errors are in his game.If David is able to stop this,he could became a wordclass defender for years,but to reach this level he needs to change something.<br /><br />Gesendet von meinem LG-P710 mit Tapatalk<br /><br /><br />
