David Luiz

[Trafalgar]

He has proven that he's not a world class player ... and he doesn't deserve that 60M move.

 

[DonAndres]

Thiago wasn't there to guide him same as Pique who looks loss without Puyol

Pique can be an airhead without Puyol, but he isn't that goddamn brainless. He covers the right spaces and is there to recover loose balls, he'll just shit his pants when a challenging 1v1 comes his way. Luiz on the other hand is as absent a CB as Alves is a RB.

Lucky for PSG they have the full package so they won't have to suffer too many braindead Luiz performances unless Silva gets injured or decides to smother a GK again.

His heatmap.

Hmm...

Honestly, David Luiz should play a fucking FB or a wide midfielder...

He has the body for a CB but the brain of an attacking FB.

 

[BarçAjax8]

I'm sorry guys there is no comparison between Pique and Luiz. Pique has played the last 2 seasons without Puyol and has done a great job surrounded by 2 attacking fullbacks (if you can even call Dani a back anymore since he never tracks) and a Holding Midfielder.

I just wanna take a moment to thank PSG for helping us save 60m

I LOVE the fact we didn't buy him, and love to make fun of people saying he is an amazing CB. But to be honest, he really becomes the scapegoat for a god awful team performance yesterday. And god awful is even putting it mildly. The one that should be getting all the blame is Scolari, what an enourmous fuckup he is with his 3CDM tactics that got him relegated already in 2012...

 

[linetty]

Awesome at bombing forward but disastrous at centre-back. Just woeful.

 

[instinct]

I like his character on the pitch though. I always had the impression that he wants to lead this team to glory. It wasn't to be.

People here make fun a lot about PSG and DL. Too much in my opinion, and you know i dislike DL.

They should wait to know who will be their CBs next season before doing that. Because while PSG is retarded, I fear Barcelona's board is going nowhere at the moment about strengthening their defense.

----

Anyways, another quick translation of an interview from DL:

"I only wanted to be able give happiness to my people that suffer so much. Unfortunately, we didn't make it. I want to apologize to everyone, to every brazilians. I only wanted to make brazilian people smile. You know how it was very important to me. I wanted to see every people here filled with happiness. Germany was better than us, and better prepared. It's a very sad day, but filled with lessons to learn about."

Ah well, come back in 4 years with a non-retarded coach, and maybe you will reach your goal.

ya sure. Just ignore that he had a very good WC as CBs till yesterday. And that he was the best CB last year during the confed cup.

He doens't worth 50M, but you and some others trash him to the bottom as if he was the wosrt CB on earth. facepalm material.

Mathieu will probably be our player by next season and, to be honest, I rate him higher as a centre-back.

Thiago Silva covered his forward runs and brainfarts. Thankfully he'll have that at PSG.

I don't, and I know Mathieu very well since i follow him a lot like most french that play in foreign countries.

You guys are just blinded by DL transfer fee.

Bertus, he did have an awful game. Was caught napping or out of position on almost all goals. I agree he shouldn't be scapegoated because he did had a solid tournament up until that game and the entire team crumbled, but with the absence of TS, you have to wonder how much of his good performance was due to TS covering for him so he could shine in other areas.

At least you have TS, feel comfort in that fact at least.

I didn't say otherwise. But that doesn't mean he's the worst CB around like people make him to be. You guys are generalizing so much that's scaring.

Talking about Piqué and Mathieu, you guys seem to easily forget the terrible performances they had - like every CBs - from time to time.

You guys don't follow the french league, so you wouldn't know, but last year it happened that TS, yeah that TS that is said to be the best CB in the world, to have terrible performances on the field. Worse, he had average performances at PSG for months with all his fans here trying to make up excuses like "he's thinking about the WC" and all.

If I follow you guys logic, then Alex is the best CB in the world since he was the best CB at PSG last season, plain and simple.

But I know, you know, and we know it doesn't work like that.
