Shame that red card, thought he played really well on Sunday.

btw any news about when Side Show Bob was pushed into the advertisement at the end of the 1st half vs le arse? I noticed in the when the 2nd half began, Side Show seemed to be wearing a cast on this left wrist? WTF? No talking heads said anything about that.

I find that this season Luiz is more better than last season, he was good on the pitch, in every games he played. It's too bad he will miss the big games against City, but i think Andreas will replace him good. His red card vs Arsenal is a mistake from view and appreciation it's all. That, remove nothing from his performance vs Arsenal. 

so I have discovered that Side Show Bob indeed suffered from a Broken Wrist when that gooner pushed him into the advertising.

Ouch   I've broken my wrist once and all I could do was hold my arm and whimper. How on earth could Luiz continue playing?

I wonder if the player who pushed him was the one he fouled at the end?

This made me laugh

Even gave himself a bandage around his wrist to look more like Luiz 

Suprised no ones talking about this luiz stuff much...

Same here. 

I actually think Luiz is a world-class player and it'll be a huge loss without him, but if we give in to player power then we'll never learn, we'll keep having bad second seasons, we'll keep having to sack managers. If Luiz doesn't want to play, get rid of him honestly, the club comes first, Conte is in charge. I also don't like the way he behaved in the Roma game, reminded me of Sanchez laughing on the bench when they were 6-1 down to Bayern. It's just shameful behaviour and complete disrespect, love him as a player and he seems entertaining but there is something about his attitude that I don't quite like. 

Of course, I know nothing of what goes on behind the scenes, but I doubt Conte is in the wrong here.

That's what a win does. If we had lost, it would have been the only talk in media

If rumors are true, needs to go in Jan

What are the rumours? Can't find much in the UK media.

That luiz openly questioned Conte's training methods and tactics.

Please note the "IF" 

Difficult one. 

I am a fan of Luiz, and the last thing we need is to lose a versatile, experianced player, from our alreday thin squad. 

We also don not need another Costa situation, with an unhappy player stinking out the mood in the camp. 

That said, if he is alreday causing problems abd disrespecting the Manager then I have no issue with Conte laying it down. 

I hope that it can be resolved, and Luiz can regain the Managers trust.

Iv'e always been a bit supporter of Luiz, excused his frailty's due to his character and versatility. But the manager must come first, especially one as good as Conte.

 

Look at the ferguson hit list over the years.

Ince, Sparky, kean Beckham, Stam - with the exception of maybe Hughes and Kean (on the way down a bit), All considered top level and world class players at the point of exit, all shown the door because the manager decided they had crossed the line. No player is bigger then the club and the manager should always be backed, if after you have backed the manager both financially and in the dressing room you still haven Arsen Wenger... well time to get rid 

Can't add too much more to that Barak - totally agree.

Love Luiz - YES he can makes mistakes but when he's good he's great and his return last season was certainly a major factor in us winning the PL. Will admit I was amongst the numbers expecting and hoping for Luiz to be made captain. But in a short space of time something has clearly gone wrong and I would back Conte's decisions every time.

Have to say, how composed and good on the ball Christensen looked, I know it's early days, but would love to see him become captain in the future.

 

Love him but if he's causing issues then I back the manager

Cant see it being anything else than a bust up, dropping him from the playing 11 would have been one thing but leaving him entirely out of the squad, a totally different matter.

Would be interesting to see how this pans out. If he is sold, we WILL direly need cover in the CB position as dont think GC, Azpi, Rudi are made for the central CB position. Zouma can be called back but his ball playing skills are poor (to put it lightly).

But I do hope this means that AC is a starter from now on. He has totally deserved it, being the better player by a light year.

Luiz won’t be sold with Conte leaving next summer.

More recent example, look at Tottenham. Pochettino and Kyle walker.

No way to know that Conte is leaving next summer.

Luiz deserved to be dropped, that red card against Arsenal costing us the potential 2 points, and the stupid handball at Atletico, not even going to mention the recent poor performances. Sure, he's a character, but is he a bigger character than JT or Ivanovic? Conte had no problems making calls on them, doubt he will hesitate on Luiz. I'm sure Luiz or his people will talk soon, but if he thinks he's too good to be dropped he got another thing coming.

And if we look closer to home, Conte very quickly identified Ivan and Terry as being a tad past there best days and dropped both, the former a definite member of the player hire-achy the latter a club legend. The good of the team first every time.

The club will have some idea already. More likely Luiz will be staying than Conte.

To my knowledge there has been very little explanation for Luiz being dropped from the bench, just wondering if it could be drugs related. I suppose the test will be if we  look to sell him in January.

With Christensen's assured performances I always thought Luiz would be at risk of being dropped though did not anticipate this, hence my previous comment.
