Stats 7,142 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Another solid game. Am I surprised? Not at all. Hope to see him at LB for a while now. Can tackle, defend, attack a bit and just generally a great all round LB. The Chels, Styles and Ainsley Harriott 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 RB for our next game and Ake on the left? zolayes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Haven't had such a full-back that's so adept at going forward for a while now (even though Ivanovic has improved considerably in this aspect),.Could be a real selection head-ache when Azpilicueta returns.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 RB for our next game and Ake on the left?Shrewsbury town up next in the League cup, so very likely to see either Zouma/Ake take on that RB role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Terrific 90 minutes from him today. Very hard to to see now, in retrospective, what some people were worried about. He's a very classy LB. zolayes, The Skipper and mediator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 RB for our next game and Ake on the left?I'd rather we give him a rest against Shrewsburry and have Zouma/Christensen on the right. He hasn't really played much this season so having him play 5 matches in 14 days would be just begging for muscular injuries.Of course Jose and the medical team know best. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't both of our right back suspended for the game against Shrewsbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Aren't both of our right back suspended for the game against Shrewsbury?Yes, but Zouma played RB in preseason and Christensen can play there as well. I'm sure we can afford to play either there against Shrewsburry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It'd be a joke if Azpi just waltzes back into the team after his suspension. All Azpi had on his side was he's a great defender, well so is Luiz and he can offer more with the ball too. The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion 2,476 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Honestly, now that I've seen a couple matches from him wearing our blue, I can safely say he's better going forward than I previously thought from watching him on Brazil NT. Great player all around. Stats and roba3y 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Luis was awesome today. Put in a solid shift defensively and was pretty great going forward. The Chels and roba3y 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 at Gary Neville saying Di Maria was initially playing on the RW to exploit our 'weak link' Luis. Well, don't think there was anything wrong with him suggesting that. He's a good and solid defender but still a newbie to the Premier League and playing with the other defenders in the back line.

He's a good and solid defender but still a newbie to the Premier League and playing with the other defenders in the back line.I found it funny because he's always singing Ivanovic's praises (although he did criticise him during the match for having his hands behind his back and just backing off Januzaj) and he made it out like Di Maria would have a lot more success against Luis, the weak link, when I think the reverse is actually true.

DJames 729 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Good game from Luis...he's already making the best of his opportunity in the PL. Awesome link up plays and runs forward adding tremendously to our attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I just have an opportunity to see Luis playing full minutes yesterday. Glad we have him, looking solid, and it will get better day by day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
