Filipe Luís

What a player. Can't believe he was on the bench for this long

[The Skipper 20,593]

Can I just say that he was excellent today IMO.

Two massive highlights for me was that first time volley pass he made across field and then also how he took the ball, close to our own box and dribbled past around 3 players. The latter was excellent considering we were trying to protect a lead and hold possession.

There was nothing he could do for the first goal, the cross was that good. Very difficult to defend against.

He made a few positional errors but that's what's going to happen when he charges forward as much as he does and when he doesn't play as often as he should.

Honestly, Ivanovic should be dropped for him. Move Azpi to the right hand side and we'll be a much more balanced team.

Lovely, lovely footballer. Can't believe he doesn't start for us.

Best LB in the world. He is, outside of Cesc and Hazard, our most technically proficient player. I really don't understand why he's not a nailed on starter.

Not sure about you lot but I thought he was quite brilliant today.

The 3 saves of COutois were his fault, an highway created by him, And it was not the only moment.

No it wasn't. The first one was. Hull was lucky that the other two fell for them. He is the most comfortable Chelsea player when under pressure

[xPetrCechx 13,548]

Shaky imo...

[iseah100 5,612]

Shaky imo...

What?!

[xPetrCechx 13,548]

What?!

I think that the first goal was his fault. the trio saves from tibo was his fault too.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Not as good as his Atletico days. Still think he is off in the summer back there with us adding some money for Godin or Koke

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

This guy is a dream to watch and he has to start every game.

Anybody think he'll be great in midfield? He has every ability to play there.

[Milan 17,835]

Lock Ivanovic somewhere, drop the key and put Filipe and Azpi in the starting eleven... seriously for how many months have we been saying that? Since the beginning of the season probably.

Luis was great, the ball control even under pressure is a blessing after seeing theatrical Ivanovic. And that pass to Fabre after the corner!

[Amblève. 4,995]

His defensive positioning is suspect at times but that comes with playing alongside a slow CB that can't cover for Luis' spaces I guess.

[iseah100 5,612]

Did I see a different player than others? I thought he was amazing today, he is so well rounded and talented. He did well today, considering he hasn't played much.

[LAM09 6,572]

At fault for the first goal to an extent, but he adds so much more in attack compared to Iva and Azpi.

[WNDS 502]

The first goal we conceded WAS partly his fault, but he was in a difficult position to intervene due to the cross having been delivered into the space between him and the goal. The one truly BIG mistake he made this game was his enormously ill-advised attempt to play offside in the second-half which led directly to Courtois' triple save. Other than that, I liked his play when in possession of the ball, and also his noticeable improvement at winning aerial balls.

This was probably his first display in 2015 that was relatively sub-par, and yet it was STILL better than the one provided by Ivanovic over at RB. We all know who is going to be allowed to retain their place in the team for the next game, however.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Azpilicueta has made many big blunders with ridiculous positioning this season i.e being to central instead of holding his positon or getting destroyed by Navas, but you don't see anyone commenting on Azpilicueta's thread talking rubbish about being shaky. Anyway, great game from Luis. Looked very impressive as usual despite not playing for almost a month. We are a better team with him in the side.
