I was amazed that hardly anyone mentioned this during the game. It was shocking positioning. I was screaming at the tb like David WTF man! Hurrendous defending!

That happened twice. Both times during the back 3 phase of the defence. Whatever, I'd write off the second half. All kinds of mess was going on there.

I genuinely wonder if he gas a brain or not. That being said he is still 3xthe player cahill is.

If only anyone of our midfielders, bar Cesc, knows how to execute that ball he played to put Michy 1vs1 with Petr.

Getting rid of clown Luiz was one of the best decisions Einstein Mourinho ever made

Tell that to the board. They spend stupid money on mediocre players and then sack the manager because he can't make it work.

He just needs someone with brain next to him and he will be good. His partnership with Terry back in the time was good. I'm not sure if he can be good next to Zouma.
Maybe it's better to play him as DM. He can give good passes and tackle well, but you can see how bad is he at positioning...

Actually my "WTF" was coming from the fact Metro made such a big deal of this mistake, and there was not a single headline about Cahill's horror show.

I see, because the likes of Koulibaly and Naingolan are beyond doubt world class players that would easily make this Conte's side a top 4 contender...So the new excuse for sacking the managers is: "the board dont give the manager the right players".

When the likes of Courtois, Oscar, Willian, Matic and Fabregas were bought seasons ago, no one was saying: "omg, the board is getting mediocre players". The board also spend "stupid money" on players like Lukaku (dont get me wrong, but he is just better than Batshuay) and KDB, and guess what, we even had a proper LB in Felipe Luis.

Your storytelling about the situation between board and manager doesn't make any sense.

Fair enough but the mistakes from Luiz wass just as costly. It does not surprise me that being a Brazillian you care less for Luiz mistakes lol

Really? So Luiz made a mistake as costly as Cahill's assist to Sanchez? Come on.

What happens here is clear for me. Since 13/14 season, when Cahill became a regular starting XI for English NT, local press tried to picture Cahill as a solid rock defender, while Luiz was this "non defender" player. You know, its not really amusing when the NT's CB is warming the bench for a top club. I remember Mouirnho faced questions about that when he came back and Terry and Luiz were his choosen ones. I remember  that the press strated to highlight Luiz mistakes. There was a defeat to Everton, 1-0, when Luiz was caught out of position (actually one of the Cahill's weakest points), and there were many articles about that in the papers and eve a discussion about that in Sky Sports. 

In other game, after a mistake, the TV was showing Luiz and then Cahill, Luiz, then Cahill, more like saying: how can Luiz be playing an Cahill on the bench?

Despite Cahill being no more than a Bolton quality player, and making huge mistakes in WCs and Eurocup, days ago Carragher said Terry and Cahill are ahead of Luiz in the picking order. Cahill's mistakes made England leave last WC after only two games, and this year, the team was defeated by Iceland (!!!). It took a huge mistake to local press start picturing Cahill as an average CB who dont deserve to start games for a team who want to be in the top again.

Its not something that only happen in UK. Usually local press overrates their countrymen. Another good example was that Game against PSG, when Ba scored the 2nd in final minutes. Terry and Lampard were really shy in that game, and there was a article in DM about how good and decisive both were in that game.

Now its happening again: last season the team was conceding goals for fun, and Terry was involved in most of those games, but now of course, the press is saying the team is conceding goals because Terry is not playing...
