David Luiz

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Apparently he just cost Brazil a goal?

200 of those 250 pages are about how shit he is and what not

Nah most of it's about how a £50m forward needs £250m worth of service to put the ball in the back of the net.

What?! Alves lost the ball and Julio cesar let in one of the softest shots ever. There is no way it was his fault.

Ssshhh Luiz is the common scapegoat.

He was at fault for all 5 Arsenal goals as well

The goal wasn't his fault but he was also at fault. He kept running backwards, allowing the Ibisevic to get closer and closer to the box. But that shot never should've gone in though, terrible goalkeeping by Cesar (though tbf, the ball bounced suddenly but still).

He couldn't have closed him down because it was a two-on-one situation. Had he closed him down, the player would've simply made the pass and his team mate would've found himself unmarked and facing the goal. I actually think he made the right choice by trying to delay his decision till one of the midfielders returned to cover.

Ah fair enough, didn't see the goal myself.

I disagree. The players running back were too far away and Ibisevic's teammate wasn't in the best position to shoot I think. I'm not at all blaming him for the goal but he should've tried to disposses him imo.

Here's the goal mate, you be the judge.

Alves was at fault for losing possession but Luiz could have done better at denying him room though.....

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Maybe I'm not the right person to say it but he got raped by Dzeko & Ibišević tonight. Lucky their finishing wasn't good otherwise they would've conceded a couple of more.

[Bacika 188]

I just watched whole game..and Luiz had lot trouble with Dzeko, in air, ground....just wasn't that good...He played okay...

[nadavTKL 1,787]

Alves lost the ball and Cesar should have saved it, but its another big mistake by Luiz. He just let the player shoot the ball... no closing

what so ever. Another player came from the left, thats correct, but as a defender you have to take the one with the ball if he's so close

to the goal like the player was. Imo a Chelsea and a Brazil central back cant do those kind of mistakes.

I like Luiz very much, he's one of my favourits since he came to Chelsea, he's very improtant for our game, and i realy

didnt liked how the media criticized him so much this season... but in the last few weeks im realy starting to think CB

isnt the right role for him. He's so effective for the offensive game with he's passing, runnings and technical abilities, but on the

other hand he is doing too many mistakes as a central back... i think that when Terry and Cahill are fit, he should play as

a defensive midfielder or a right/left back. I hope AVB could find the right role for him, because he gives us so much.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Fair criticisms from what I'm reading.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I've not seen one defender who's had a good game against Dzeko. Easily the most underrated player at City, he gives so much to them in terms of work rate and team contribution. And he has 18 goals in 31 games this season, at a better strike rate than Aguero. His goals-per-minute ratio is second only to van Persie in the EPL... so you can't really criticise Luiz for that
