Tooj Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'll keep saying it until i'm blue in the face but as far as i'm concerned David Luiz has improved a lot this season. I can't remember the last time he made an obvious error and Chelsea look a lot more solid when he's in the back 4. Just a case of people having fixed opinions and refuse to accept he's actually improved. Also he's garbage in midfield despite common consensus because he lacks positional sense for that role. Spot on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You'd also think Mourinho would want to keep him to fulfil his quota of having filthy petulant cunts in the centre of his defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 VI if Neymar keeps this form, you've guys been ripped off. Been 10 games or so now in 2013 that he's been poor. I know, actually I have yet to see him have a good game against proper opposition. We don't have the kind of money reported in those David Luiz rumors. I think he's not the defender we need either, too much like Piqué in style. We should look for a long term Puyol replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him absolutely murder the best defenders in South America, but that was over 12 months ago. I hope Messi will show him some stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I personally thought Neymar was very good yesterday until Oscar came off. That's the thing he can't carry a team effectively on his own as great as he is. Doesn't surprise me to see his performances drop for Santos as the team has got weaker and he's asked to be a one man band. He'll never have that problem at Barca mind.

Flip Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Very good? He had couple good chances, but the whole team was playing well for the first 20-25mins, but there were so many opportunities where we could counter attack and he just slowed the game up to try and take on the defenders and failed. Was quite embarrassing, Brazil needed more fluidity and directness in their game yesterday and he was one of the reasons none of that was working properly.

Neil Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 £6.5m for Mignolet is crazy, he's a very good keeper. Agree. Was easily among the best keepers in the league last season. Arguably the best alongside De Gea IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Good signing if he's over his homesickness troubles. City don't have a single pacey winger worth a damn, for all the money they've spent. Probably means Negredo's staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Roberto Carlos to Sivasspor in Turkey as their new manager. Will be interesting to see what kind of football he'll try to implement. Can't see him being too defensive, would be quite funny if he loved the 1-0 considering the type of player he was, but then again Mancini loves those 1-0 or 0-0 and he was an offensive player.

Bruno Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 He still lacks positional sense at the back too and I think he's better suited for a league where he can bring the ball forward without being punished. He's improved, but there is still a long way before he is that player a lot of people knows he can be. He compromised the team even in the portuguese league. After some errors Javi Garcia started playing alongside Luisão whenever David Luiz got the ball forward. Very gifted technically but overrated when he played in Lisbon. Haven't tracked his development since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tracked his development since. He's a very good footballer David, but he does lack a bit of defensive brain, luckily we have Thiago Silva at the back helping him a lot in the national team and I think Terry has been a good help for him at Chelsea as he keeps improving defensively. I think his athleticism helps him out a lot defensively, he'll need to improve a lot if he wants to be a top player when he reaches his 30s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
