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 fear that Thiago Silva to Luiz is what Puyol was to Pique. Luiz will never play as good here as he plays in Nt because we dont have Silva. Pique is also shit without Puyol.

Although I agree, he also has a xerrif like Terry to play alongside him!

It is not like he doesnt have any other partner (like Pique) to play with when he is in a Chelsea shirt...

He did play that well and even better for the last three months of last season under Rafa. Obviously, he couldn't take that form into this season, but that has nothing to do with Silva.

So is he now out for the season? I'm scared shitless of groin injuries... kept me out from soccer for over an year. It's very difficult to know when you are ready to play again because it's very easy to re-injury the groin when too much scar tissue has built up.

He should not have played for Brazil in that stupid friendly. Don't quite understand why he was allowed to play. At least he was able to take the picture of neymar and the little boy.

What the hell!!! I thought it was a minor injury. We defo would have heard sonething if this was the case.

well it might have been minor the first time around... but now he's reinjured the same groin.

Hope it was just a precaution, but groin injuries are tough, like I said. There aren't that many games left till the end of the season and every single one matters - Jose needs all players available and fit.

Dude he is ESSENTIAL for CL games. Any pivot with the permutation or combination of rambo, mikel, lamps is poor compared to the one which involves him.

I hope its just pre cautionary otherwise this is bad news.

^^ heh not to mention injuries and suspensions - we've been very lucky with Terry's form (striking difference from last season's).

good read and a bit self-serving as I've been writing about his style matching Barca's before:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1981931-chelsea-transfer-news-blues-must-hang-on-to-david-luiz-despite-barca-interest

Like I said, perhaps too much a match - if we need to sell him, then sell him to PSG instead... They are still years away from having a competitive squad, their midfield still sucks.

Nah. Dont think so. Veratti, matuidi, cabaye, motta. Add to that the defence partnership of luiz-silva which is one of the best in the world without a doubt. And an attack consisting of zlatan, cavani, moura, lavezzi,pastore. They are right AT The TOP.

Barca is on the decline. Xavi was their main man. Alcantara would have been a perfect replacement but they screwed up their. Fiberglass is not half the player people hype him to be. Add to that puyol gone, alves having a shit season and waning continously, simply don't think luiz would improve them massively.

A pique-luiz partnership is something I would never ever want to have chelsea.

I think this pivot partnership is the best we have by far. José should stick with Luiz and Matic as starting XI and have Ramires 'fill' Matic's absence in UCL matches. It makes no sense to have Ramires playing when Matic and Luiz make up his pace with their technicality and good passes. The only situation I can imagine us playing with Ramires instead of Luiz is against a side with a couple of very fast players in the middle as the entirety of our defense and Matic and Luiz themselves are either slow or just just fast enough.

I don't think any of the remaining matches we have for EPL fit that description though.

Has it been divulged how many matches Ramires is out?

Yeah good point but Mourinho seems to rate Ramires very highly so I don't see it happening tbh. That said, I'd rather see Lampard & Matic against opponents outside the top 7. As for the CL, it will be interesting to see what partnership Mourinho goes with against PSG.
