David Luiz

Luiz and Matic in the prem, Rami and Lamps in the CL.

his long pass was immense today.

[zolayes 14,489]

Luiz was excellent today ,, Just my opinion ... NO FACT

Luiz and Matic in the prem, Rami and Lamps in the CL.

Why not luiz+rami in cl?

[The Skipper 20,593]

I'd say Matic - Lamps at home in the PL, Matic - Luiz away from home.

[Tomo 21,733]

Why not luiz+rami in cl?

Not really a fan off that combo, and i still think a fresh Lamps with his game time managed correctly will produce the goods.

Play as CM only.

David was very strong today, top player really hope he stays at Chelsea for a long time

[Yeboii 1,844]

I've said it for a long time. Matic and Luiz is our best midfield until we get a better player to play with Matic.

[lucio 5,418]

they need to play together against all teams , not just the big matches. ramires could play , but only in 4-3-3, too inconsistent with technique for a pivot. he needs license to run.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Credit were it's due he did really well yesterday.

Mourinho on Luiz—"I like David in midfield. I like him a lot there." (Chelsea TV)

Maybe he'll convert into a full time midfielder for us now.

[Cosmin 2,484]

He's always better in the games against big opponents. I think his problem is that he can't focus good enough when we play against average or small teams. Well, truth is that most of our players do that, but it's way more visible on Luiz than on anyone else.

Love love love love LOVE this guy in the pivot next to Matic. Fuck off do we need to spend £35 million on Witsel or some other "dynamic" box to box midfielder. This guy is class there. A far better option than Ramires (who is too inconsistent) and Lampard (who sadly is now too old to play consistently and/or on a regular basis).

Needs to do it over a few more matches but I like the balance between him and Matic. Both are defensively strong, both good in the air, both like to roam forward at times and both can pick a pass. His concentration issues don't just disappear when he's in midfield, but maybe he's a little bit more engaged in that position and any mistakes can be covered by the defence.

He's better than Ramires at least.

That's another excellent point. Luiz is almost too good a footballer not to play - and if he's in the midfield, at least there's the chance the team can recover from a misjudgement.

What was interesting yesterday was seeing that he actually stayed back for corners. I think that was simply Jose keeping things simple and having him fill Rami's role at corners but he can be a real threat if balls come out to him for a long shot, although in time maybe we could use him at set-pieces alongside Matic, Cahill, Terry and Ivanovic and leave Azpi and Oscar back.

The guy certainly has it in him to hit shots from 30 yards, plus he can pick a pass. Just needs to get his stamina up there and he's a real option for next season.

I agree and he needs to get over these niggling but consistent injuries. Every two months it seems like he's out for two weeks.
