Our CB pairing.

Clearly its Cahill - Luiz that isn't working together.

TBH it was pretty clear from day one that this was a tragic partnership, it was there to be seen in Naples.

Isn't it ironic that the worst CB partnership in the last two decades (could be longer) was the one that played the final when we won that elusive CL.

IMO, Terry&Cahill is the best solution. Our mighty Leader is still the best defender in the team. Gary has played well since he joined us and he makes less mistakes than Luiz. Cahill's technique and finishing are also fantastic for a CB.

I'm hoping one thing Benitez will bring is a solid shape and structure to the backline. David Luiz always looks much more solid for Brazil and at the end of last season for us. I'm hoping Benitez gets stuck into him and makes him realises his defensive responsibilities come first because when his heads in the game he is excellent.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Azpi kick on too and make himself first choice RB. Ivanovic for me just isn't natural at full back and against the better teams it shows. He is also not comfortable enough in possession at times.
