David Luiz

[Irish_Cules]

True, but Luiz has an awful lot of those performances. On his day he is an absolute beast of a CB but for the price he cost he has far too many games where he is a liability.

He got a little window in L'Equipe from Today

"L'Equipe notes DL 3/10, as best brazilian player yesterday. Which says a lot about Brazil performance since every single players did horrible last night."

"He entered the field while running with arms pointed to the sky. He left the field with his head lowered, angry and crying."

"While he didn't defend without any mistakes, he was the only one to try to stop Muller and tried to serve his completely static attack with long balls."

"But it didn't work out, and while his teammates did bad, he was at the origin of the fifth goal, and was too late to come back defending on the seventh goal. From germany".

We all know his transfer fee makes no sense. That doesn't mean he should be belittled and rated under CBs that are worse than him on average.

Also you seem to forget Mou could have played a role in the shitty season he had. Do i have to remember you that many great players did shit a lot of times in RM under Mou? When your coach belittle you, it's very rare for a player to do good.

I don't think DL will do something fantastic at PSG, but his fee aside, he's a good CB.

I don't feel angry towards him about that stupid fee, but towards PSG's board. It's not DL that chose to be bought 50-60M.

I think his versatility has a hand on his price as well. And his hairs too.

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.

I know you're quoting me, but speaking to others because I did not say any of the things in that comment. Every player can have bad days and bad performances, this is true enough, and considering no one in that Brazil team performed yesterday, it's why I said from the start that scapegoating Luiz was wrong. That being said, Luiz is notorious for doing exactly what he did yesterday, that is wonder around from the defense, get caught napping, and overall being absent minded and missing defensive assignments.

Jose Mourinho DEFENDS David Luiz after Brazil's humiliation against Germany

CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho has leapt to the defence of Brazil captain David Luiz after Germany humiliated the hosts last night.

Brazil were left battered, bruised and knocked out of the World Cup after Germany romped to a 7-1 victory.

And Luiz - who was handed the armband in place of the suspended Thiago Silva - came in for heavy criticism for his poor showing.

But Mourinho believes the 27-year-old does NOT deserve to be made a national scapegoat in Brazil, despite selling him to Paris Saint-Germain for £50million before the tournament began.

"I don't think it's fair to separate a player from the team, because the team was really bad," Mourinho said.

"David made mistakes? Yes he did. But Dante made mistakes, Marcelo made mistakes, Fernandinho made mistakes. The team as a whole made mistakes.

"So I don't think it's fair. I think everyone in my situation, everyone that is a player, everyone that is a coach, everyone that is not involved in the World Cup, but could be in that position - I think all of us are feeling really sorry for them. Because it is a historical moment."

The problem with Mou is that I never know when he's serious or not

Gonna say i think he's honest this time tho because everything he said is true.

Mourinho, hypocrite to the MAX!!!!! "I don't think it's fair to separate a player from the team....." Really Mou?!?!?!?!?!? Really? How many times did you call out Ramos and Khedira, among others, after losing games. Mou the master hypocrite.

Too bad the English media bend over to him so he wlll never be confronted with such comments.

+1 That too

 

[Alik]

That's scary.

 

[DB10]

Was sad listening to his interview after the match. Just couldn't hold it together without T. Silva.

 

[N11JELKA]

He holds the team together, it's not only his football qualities.

 

[Barcilliant]

Feel bad for him. That Brazil performance was everyones fault and Germany were faultless on the day-well almost.

Scolari is an idiot and his squad and team selection showed that.

Where were guys like Miranda and Felipe Luis. Ramires on the bench wtf???

Brazil were a poor mans Chelsea with all the thuggery and none of the tactical and defensive nous.

Life goes on though and I wish Luiz well.

 

[Barcilliant]

Thank God Scolari never came to Barca!

 

[Bertus]

Thank God Scolari never came to Barca!

I listened to the radio what Scolari said during the press conference today.

He defended his record. He said that he won most of his games and that's that. He doesn't understand the hate. About the defeat, they lost and that's that.

Very, very, very annoying. Scolari refuses to admit he has done mistakes. Not even a little one.

Apparently, Jo, Fred and Bernard were all great ideas according to him.
