Hopefully those two will make up vs ManU

The last 2 goals was not individual errors. Luiz was just as much to blame as Cahill. Luiz and Cahill was awful in both goals.

Did you watch teh last goal mate, Luix peeled off saw his man away from goal cahill left ozil at teh back post didnt challenge him, didnt even get tight enough to put him off, luiz was not at blame there

I have watched the last goal plenty of times and thats a collective error by both centre backs. Once Ozil was free it was 2v2. Luiz should of pressured Ozil and let Cahill have Sanchez. Luiz let Ozil run and run freely towards the box. There was no peeling of and Luiz pushing his man wide, that was the run Sanchez made. Luiz didn't know if he was coming or going. Luiz and Cahill collectively let Sanchez make the run. It was both there fault and once either player couldn't cover the run Sanchez made then Cahill couldn't get back in time.

The whole thing was a complete mess starting with Kante and then the pair of them at the back. They was both hesitant, waiting for the other to dictate the situation and lack of confidence as a pair. It was a complete mess. I have watched back analysis of the game and it shows other mistakes Luiz made and Luiz's reading of the game was quite poor. Either CB didnt have a great game.

Then the finish got completely lucky.

Whatever mate I'm bored of it now, they split took a man each Luiz did his job Cahill didn't it was black and white,  Luiz is one of the top CB's in the league, I predicted that when he was re-signed when no one wanted him, he has hardly put a foot wrong, you want to clutch at straws go ahead but it's boring and I'm struggling to see your point or what you want to achieve here, we are doing well and Luiz has been a great signing.

Someone mentioned Luiz and the Arsenal game and you agreed. I don't agree so that was the point. There's more build up play to the goal than Luiz following Sanchez one way but I'm bored of explaining it now. If that was two CBs playing well it wouldnt of happened.

Luiz has been superb this year in a back 3. Do I think Chelsea would be top if he played in a back 4 I very much doubt it but that discussion would never have to take place.

His exactly the same as Leboeuf who was also class in a back 3.

Pissed myself when his mistake let Rashford through  Shades of old but for the rest of the game he was pretty solid. 

Chelsea player to Chelsea player to Chelsea player then cleared off the line by Chelsea player. 

 

That was an amazing clearance.

This is amazing. Wonder how many times he's done that to him in training.

This may have been said already but wasn't David Luiz lucky that he was no longer in that PSG team in that disaster against Barcelona.

It would of all been blamed on him

 

 

What's the latest on Luiz after hobbling off against Everton?

Don't like the idea of entering these last few crunch games without one of our key players.

He posted an Instagram story basically confirming that he's fine. I imagine he'll start the remaining games.

Some of United's defenders can learn a thing from David Luiz. Luiz has been playing with an injury since that challenge on him from Aguero back in December. He has also picked up more knocks along the way. If that was Shaw, Smalling or Jones, they would say they are too injured to play. If you're a defender, then you are going to be playing a lot of your career with an injury, all of the best ones did, but they just got on with it.

Agreed have a long deserved rest once the seasons over.

If the title is won before Sunderland I could see him sitting out that game.

Such a good read! He is such a lovely guy! I can't believe how many languages he speaks. And learning French so he could communicate with Kante and get him out of his shell. Beautiful.

Probably the best article I have read on dailyfail top stuff

First PL title for him. Big season for him with a lot of doubt hanging over him with his sudden return but I think its safe to say he passed with flying colours.

He's really progressed from the madcap defender we saw in his first spell here.

Conte deserves credit for playing him in a position which maximises his strengths (long passing, vision, forward movement, energy) and minimises his weaknesses (defensive positioning) but his decision making has also greatly improved.

All up, he deserves to be a Chelsea favourite if not a legend.
