Pat Nevin suggest Chelsea have found the perfect Midfield Partnership

[communicate 2,703]

Pat Nevin suggested on Radio 5 Live that Chelsea have found the perfect midfield partnership something he says we have struggled to find in the past few years........ David Luiz and Frank Lampard he claims is the perfect partnership. He says after watching the Villa game he has come to this conclusion. It can be heard on Kicking Off with Colin Murray 5 Live Sport..... Listen to it on BBC Podcasts

Ah after villa game, I thought he said that after everton game. We had no control of the game at all, Lampard was great with his two goals, david luiz provided tons of energy but both of them were overrun in midfield by everton. We were just awful in midfield

18 posts before someone points out that Luiz has played less than half-a-dozen games in that position, and that he's been asked to do different things in each of them.

Lol some people just don't want Luiz to succeed there

They've invested lots of time and articles on how great Mikel is! Whilst he has improved this season, still don't rate him - bench warmer for me, would pick Luiz over him any day of the week...

Luiz gives you passion, hard work and determination - something no stats site is able to capture, regardless people will still bash him

Any coincidence the last few games he's played there we've won?

It's one thing to have passion, determination and hard work but it's also equally important to have the tactical understanding, discipline and being able to stay calm and composed in the field and not being rash. As much as Luiz has the former aspects, it's still obvious that he lacks in the latter aspects. If every player only have passion, hardwork and determination as you said and doesn't understand the tactical side of the game, then those players will just be nothing more than headless chickens! You need to have a balance of both.

Positioning comes with experience...

And how he is being blamed for the first goal against Everton, when Hazard gave the ball away and Cole didn't track his man and Cahill and Ivanovic were standing in front of Cech and not closing down, is crazy.

Give him time, he's already shown enough to start there - he just needs to tweak a few things an he will be great.

I think he's improving every game? He's not the only player who has poor moments, the whole team has this, but things are slowly improving under RB...

I'm the opposite I don't bash him.
