John Terry

[robsblubot 3,502]

Terry is our best CB. I'd wait a few games before throwing him in but he definitely needs to start, and I think it might be Cahill that'll be sacrificed.

Indeed, and IMO Iva is better as a defensive RB, so move Luiz back to re-establish a fantastic pairing that Terry+Luiz is.

The prob of course is that we are short in the middle, esp holding/center mid position. (Romeu injured and Mikel away)

We missed you captain.

Why move Luiz back into defence when Cahill is performing great..?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Cahill has been okay but he hasn't been "great" IMO. I'd still have JT in my team over him. The JT and Luiz partership has been our best this season as well IMO.

[cadenza666 221]

rather have JT and Cahill in defense, Luiz can have a great game one day, on other days he can be a ticking time bomb. you never know when his playstation controller will turn off!

Great? Eh, no. He's been got, nothing more..

What you talking about? Cahill has been playing great... Luiz is liability as a CB.

I just want to make clear i haven't got an Agenda, it's not like i will only support Cahiil and not Luiz, but it's clear to anyone (apart from you and Henrique) that Cahill is a better defender than Luiz.

To me it is clear that most people put Cahill infront of Luiz because of:

1) the fact that Cahill is english and they see him as the next Terry

2) Luiz's playstyle

I would chose Terry+Luiz over Terry+Cahill any day of the week.

No, it's because he a better CB...

Also by Luiz' play style do you mean.. he's too casual at the back, runs forward too many times and loses it, bad positioning, runs at the defender too much.. He's either too eager or just too casual..

Thats your opinion. Regarding what you said about Luiz, I could come up with a number of things about Cahill too. Fact remains, people usually judge Luiz alot more because he sticks out more. People usually dont notice Cahills mistakes because they just dont want to see them, you see it all over these forums when Cahill has a bad game compared to Luiz. Luiz takes 10 times the shit Cahill takes.

No, people put Cahill in front of Luiz because Cahill doesn't try and dribble his way past four players instead of just simply clearing the ball.

Oh please... so narrowminded I wont even bother replying.

It's true though. Luiz has received plenty of credit but people want to see some bias from certain fans when there simply isn't any. It's got NOTHING to do with his nationality (never had a problem with Emerson Thome) and everything to do with the way he plays football.

We just want a centre-half who does the basics and doesn't try and run the ball out of defence. In fact, Cahill does the same on occasion but he knows his limitations and doesn't try too much risky stuff. I'l give Luiz a lot of credit for actually hoofing the ball out now far more than he did when he arrived, but he'll still have the odd 'moment' every now and then.

It's weird how Villas-Boas and Di Matteo didn't consider him a liability. Benitez preferred David Luiz too before he had to cover for our issues in midfield. That's three different managers.

Great to see him back in action!

Though it has be to said that he was a tad reckless in giving the penalty away.

OMG THEY'RE LIKE HUSBAND AND WIFE. IT'S SO FUCKING CUTE.
