I don't like him as a midfielder. We aint go no fluent balcirculation with him...

He's everywhere on the pitch I hear people say? thats not what a DM should do?! He(or Lampard) should've been chasing Pienaar @ the first goal...

Both had no desire to do so... A DM always needs to be willing to track back! No matter if you feel its for a lost cause...

He' still a CB imo...

(same as Ramires is no Right winger... Just takes some time till everyone will notice that :( )

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

We've won the last four games with him there, and he's still not played half-a-dozen games at midfield.

He had an okay performance and people who don't like him there will find stuff to moan about whilst people who do like him there will find stuff to encourage them.

The simple fact is that whilst he's played, we've improved and he's still a newcomer to that position. Let's save the kneejerk reactions, admit we don't have a FUCKING CLUE about how it will turn out and wait and see. Okay?

He causes a lot less problems in midfield and i think it suits him. Your right he is not a midfielder.... YET! he has only had a few games there but I think it works atm and should get even better over time.

Also, perhaps more importantly we have been winning with it and playing well.

The problems he causes in midfield are not spotted by many, but they are there and they are much much more than in defense. The thing is, most football fans judge players and their performances based on particular incidents and not general play. No one notices that a 90% passing accuracy is excellent defending because it keeps the ball with us and limits the opposition's chances. Same goes for positioning because people expect the players that are back to deal with it and very few wonder why the other players are not back. Like today when Cole was getting slated for not covering for a player, but no one noticed that Cole was up against 2 players because Hazard was not tracking back when we were playing 4-3-3. People applaud a player for making a 20 meter sprint and putting a tackle to win back the ball and don't notice that the reason he had to do that was because he was out of position while no one gives credit to a player for stopping a counter attack by being in position.

Luiz is entertaining on the ball, but how many minutes does an average player gets on the ball each game? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? There are 80-85 minutes other than those that everyone seem to neglect.

Bit harsh. I think you are being over critical tbh. What I meant by causes less problems in midfield is the fact that problems are magnified when they are made in defence because you are the last line. The fact he has an extra layer of protection helps him. Also compared to what we have available to play in there I think comparably he is one of the best.

He's not really a midfielder is he? actually he's not much of a defender either... what should we do with him?

With Cech injured, stick him in goal :Goober:

Seriously though, I fear that Benitez thinks that his move to midfield is a permanent one, especially with the rumors today that we're in the market for a CB. Don't think our season can survive having him in midfield for the next 5 month.
