David Luiz

[The Skipper 20,593]

It's ridiculous how quickly players are written off nowadays. I think everyone realizes he's having a poor season but it's not the end of the world. If every player were to be sold after performing below standards or expectations, hardly anyone would last more than 2/3 years at a single club.

Every player deserves the chance to redeem himself after a poor season.

And many players would complain being moved around in different positions but David doesn't seem to mind and will do anything to help the team. Love his attitude.

Good overall performance.

Thank you. Agree with all of that, especially the bolded part.

Mou: 'They worked like animals my midfield, David Luiz is a monster.'

[Barbara 15,149]

If we get anything less than 35m for this guy we were ripped off

- although I should add another emote. How come after a performance like this you talk about selling him? You're so plastic it HURTS. You don't belong here, in all honesty.

mark my words, kid. Mourinho will NEVER allow Chelsea to sell Luiz after tonight's game. He just did everything Mourinho could have asked for before the match. He was a warrior, did his very best and he just made me cry with his instagram post. That's an human being who felt awful for what he caused at Paris (even if I don't blame him for the OG, I don't think he could have avoided it and I don't think it was a foul to start with).

That's what he said:

Só Deus sabe oq senti esses dias,e só eu sei o quando ele falou pra meu coração,eu n seria nada sem ele! Obrigado a toda minha família,todos os amigos,todos torcedores e a todos aqueles q torcem por mim,eu lutarei sempre por vcs! Deus é fiel,não há caminho melhor doq o dele! #fé

"Only God knows what I've felt these days, and only I know how much He's said to my heart that I wouldn't be anything without Him. Thanks to all my family, all my friends, all supporters and all of those who support me, I will always fight for you guys. God is faithful and there's no better path than His #faith

Sorry, you don't buy that and you don't sell that. You cultivate it and are thankful for having a guy that will always fight for us, that will feel awful for a mistake he did (even if it he couldn't help it - which imo he couldn't). Mourinho knows it. And I'm renewed in my love and respect for this guy. He can be a bench warmer for all I care, I don't want him to leave and I don't think he will.

MOTM today. was just brilliant. his ball winning is simply out of the world.

[Styles 9,790]

I know I've said he's not a midfielder and I don't want to ever see him there again after this season but you have to respect him. There was a moment in the second half when he was clearly tired and the ball was going out for a PSG corner he put his head down, ran as hard as he could and barely got the ball to Ivanovic so he could clear it. That summed him up tonight, sheer effort. Much respect.

I remember that clearly, it was very similar to his clearance in the Confeds Cup when Pedro was definitely going to draw the match to Spain (I mean the movement he did to avoid the corner). the difference? Then it was still first half, he had a lot of gas in his tank and he raped and ripped the ball away avoiding the goal just behind the post. Today it was around mark 90' and he barely had strength to touch the ball and after he did it, it barely moved the few yards to reach Iva. It really touches me, but I'm a softie

My MOTM today what a way to comeback after the dissapontment of scoring the own goal. He was everywhere, very strong, thought he was even going to get a goal

Does David Luiz realise the game has kicked off?

[Milan 17,853]

Just wow, that was one hell of a performance. Everything was already said above but I need to say one more thing - he is very clever and sneaky at the same time. The way he got Cavani booked was just great. He knew what he was doing by kicking the ball into the striker. Some might not like it but he did very well in that moment.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I cant stand the fact some people believe any club in the world will pay more than 30m for Luiz after this season. We will be luck to even get 22m.

I cant stand the fact that you are blinded by hate.

Simply clueless...

[LAB 1,030]

I'm OUT OF WORDS for men like David tonight. Picture is 1000 words though:

[Strike 7,217]

"Chelsea pensioners Lampard and Terry prove the old ones are still the best"

Well, this is the kind of thing we see in the british press. After this game, the journal end up talking about how Lampard and Terry still are the best players in the team, and asserts: "Lampard was booked in the first half, taking one for the team after David Luiz carelessly lost possession in the centre of the park to Lavezzi". After Luiz immense game, Ba heroic goal, Schurle impact in the game and Luiz workrate, we end up reading an article about how Lampard and Terry still are the best.

This is the kind of bias we see in this forum. I dont even need to mention their names, because everybody knows who they are. People who flood this topic with hyper negative posts every single time Luiz made a mistake. I dont know whats in these people's mind, I have my theories, but that really doesn't matter, but what I know is that some people really dont have the "balls" to make a single post in this topic after good game from Luiz.

Chill out guys, it's not new's that British football journalism is the worst or at least as bad as Spanish. It's bad for your health to read that trash. It's tabloid sports journalism and it plagues the game, sensationalist love this stuff but a logic person should easily be able to figure out its amorally worthless.

We read the same kind of trash in this forum...

Its not just this forum. It's CFC fans in general. They don't like David Luiz for some stupid reason. Hell they are upset that Barca can't purchase players for the next couple of transfer windows, hoping that barca would fork out some dough for DL. shame really cause DL has given his all for this club.

[The only place to be 11,313]

He was absolutely tremendous last night. Great on the ball, strong in the tackle, didn't stop running and gave everything out on the pitch - you couldn't ask for more from a player. He deserves all the credit and plaudits he's getting because when the guy does put everything together, he's a fantastic player and on nights like last night you need that.

You also need it in the 50-odd other games in a season, not just the big ones.

[iseah100 5,612]

38M? I will piggy back him to his destination.

Yea? tell me how you really feel.

Yea and he has his moments. Plus he's a fan favorite.

Just what I said, BEFORE the game.

Mata was well liked too. A fan favorite?

Players are signed to perform. If Chelsea can get 38m for Luiz, pack his bags ahead of the WC.

Yea?

used to be a fan favorite. Now most see him as a £35m kitty for the summer transfer window.

Bahahhahahaha

no, most fans here see him as that. Go check his wall, instagram and twitter account. A lot of 'proper' english fans behind him. He's still a fan favorite

Exactly.

Plastic fans. I told you he shouldn't be sold, now all of you are praising him. Ridiculous.
