Filipe Luís

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,770]

He must be regreting coming here in the first place and it is a shame Mourinho couldn't keep his word on him. Remember Filipe's interview on why he chose to come here? He said that he told Mourinho that his biggest wish is to win Champions League and Mourinho convinced him to come here by promising he will make him a Champions League winner. Ok then, so why don't you let him play in a competition he is so eager to win and you would be 100% sure that he will give his best? Why waste such a quality full back on the bench? He is everything you want from a left back, one of the most complete in world football, still he can't make it into the first team because Jose does not have the balls to drop one of his favourites.

He should start every single game from now until the end of the season. If you can't trust him, then sell him, recoup some of the money and let him enjoy his football.

Selling him would have been an option if we did not get rid of Bertrand in January. Now that he is gone, Luis is pretty much nailed here.

[Atholy 1,293]

So much quality on the bench...

Such a shame to see. Him & Cech are in the same miserable position.

Azpi is doing great! And Iva just keeps on scoring goals...

Deserves more!! Wish he could get some more starters!

If it wasn't for Mourinho... I would go for following (out of the box thinking) line-up!!

----------Tibo----------

Iva---Zouma-JT---Luis

--------------------------

-----Cesc----Matic-----

Willian---------------Azpi

----------Hazard---------

----------Costa-----------

Luis should of started the second half.

Would of gave another creative outlet from the wings and Hazard some pressure off from marquinhos...

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

There are no more excuses. He has to play. Simply because he is one of the few technical players we have who is comfortalbe in possession, quick thinking and actually contributes to our attacking play in a very positive way

[!Hazard! 3,394]

As Ajax fan I remember when our hero Jari Litmanen was playing in Liverpool in his final years. When he didn't get playing time, even the Liverpool fans said that "if we are not going to play him, let at least some other club's fans enjoy seeing the lad play." Same can be said about Filipe. Absolutely top player and Mourinho might want to think of ways he could accommodate all our three star fullbacks on the field same time. Luis has some serious skill in the offensive end and could be a major asset. Nobody in our team par Fabregas crosses the ball better than him.

[Spike 12,049]

I will be surprised if he starts, and disappointed if he doesn't. Absolutely criminal that Ivanovic is still gettting the starting berth over him.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Should have brought him on midway through the game. Would have made Hazard's job - who was playing fantastically - much easier with his overlapping runs and also give us an alternative in terms of attacking with his crosses.

[Oscar 441]

why JOSE no luis?

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,770]

He made a BIG mistake coming here.

[The Chels 2,502]

He made a BIG mistake coming here.

He'll win a couple of titles and earn good money. I hope he goes back to Atleti next year though. They are a perfect match.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Stay strong Filipe. His lack of gametime might end up costing him his starting place for the Selecao as well.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,770]

He'll win a couple of titles and earn good money. I hope he goes back to Atleti next year though. They are a perfect match.

If he was a couple of years older that would be a fair point, but he was one of(if not) the best in his position last year and is in his prime. Big big mistake to be riding the pines at this point.

[Cech's helmet 220]

We have players with a technique of a 10 year old like Remy, Ramires and Cuadrado coming off the bench for us, while the guy with probably the best technique in our squad after Eden and Cesc warming the bench. We can easily slot him in midfield due to his technique, but no. Jose prefers to play Zouma instead.

To be fair Ramires did fantastic today. Looked a lot safer than the show Matic was putting on.

It wasn't a great career move for him but there are some positives in it. It really is a shame to see someone with his technique, intelligence and intensity rot on the bench while the untouchable Ivanovic continues to neglect his defensive duties, vacate the entire right wing and regularly gift the ball to the opposition in dangerous positions. I'll be very surprised if Luis is here next season.

The most bizarre signing of the summer. He was at the top of the world before he joined Chelsea.

[stroey 2,525]

He started his career at the 10 position and obviously can attack. Would love him in midfield helping our attacks and he can actually defend.

[The Chels 2,502]

The most bizarre signing of the summer. He was at the top of the world before he joined Chelsea.

You could tell how excited he was to move here with his first interview, his tweets about the score (even when he didn't play) and the story about how he told Courtois he'd 'see him in London' when Atleti had just beaten Barca to the league. Mourinho undoubtedly sold him false promises.
