Oh come on, I'm as biased as you, but that doesn't change facts. Luiz did need to roll around like that when Rafael didn't really catch him. He was about to get up as well but Iva, I think, told him to stay down so he rolled around some more. Like I said, if a united played did this he'd be declared public enemy number one here.

I don't agree. I would be mad at the player that delivered the kick, the reaction would piss me off but I would still be more pissed at the challenge.

He didn't really "roll around". He was even laughing. Go watch again. It was a red card even if Luiz jumped back up and started doing back flips because it was right in front of the Lineswoman. There was no "simulation" in there at all.

David Luiz. Future captain. That is all.

Not based on today. No way. I wouldn't want to see our captain laying into the referee like he did to Webb. It's easy to say passion, commitment and other things but that was a really stupid yellow card to take.

Webb may have favoured United consistently but Luiz needs to be calmed down a bit

Yes he did. I did watch it and I saw Luiz clutching the back of his ankle when Rafael actually caught him on his thigh. In the clip that the tv channel kept showing, you can see at the end of it Luiz was about to get up, then Iva came up to him and said something and Luiz clutches his ankle again and rolls around some more.

It was a red card, I said so in the first post, but Luiz was clearly acting.

I don't know what you look for in a captain but I look for passion. Yes, laying into the referee isn't necessary but his passion rubbed off on the players and alas we started playing with a little more fire. Luiz had every right to lay into Webb because he was giving a lot of nonsense decisions to United. Obviously he needs to calm down a tad little but that's why I said "future".

Nah, I don't think what Luiz did qualifies as rolling around. Rolling around to me is when a player pretends to be hurt and pretends he's in anguish. Luiz wasn't in anguish, he was laughing.

it was a red... no doubt... but luiz's "reaction" was unsupporting or how ever u put it... just think of it this way.. what if the player to make the tackle was luiz and the one doing what luiz did was rio/rooney/rvp...

That we've gone on a run of games where we've won when Mikel hasn't played, where-as when he had lengthy periods of starting in the team we were dropping lots of points. Point made.

We also had a run of games where Mikel started where we won games. You're daft if you think it's solely Mikel's fault that we were dropping points.

Thats what a captain should do.

Fair enough but if it happened the other way around I would be hounding Luiz for being stupid enough to kick out at a player.
