Luiz loo
ks like his mind is away with the fairies sometimes. Ivanovic gets pulled out of position and Cole is not what he was a couple of seasons ago. Alex is about the only defender who seems to be doing what he should be.
------------------------------------------------
Disagree. Alex has made just as much mistakes as Luiz this season if not more and Luiz is our defender who suits the high-line most, Alex is a good defender but he really isn;t suited to a high-line I think. deep-line he is good. He also doesn't have pace, despite you saying a high-line requires pace (it doesn't).
Cech has only had one poor game this season, against Arsenal, the rest are goals that many 'keepers wouldn't save.
Also I'd argue that Torres for all his failings does press the best out the front 3. Mata and Sturridge don't press. Mata sort of follows them but rarely actually goes in and presses.
Ancelotti,Avram and Jose.............why did we get rid so quickly?
Give AVB time,but as you say,Chelsea are no Barca and without those players,we cannot just pretend to be.
That's not a rant it's a panic session. Just give the man time to sort out the individuals and system. We all know that some of the squad are too old or not up to changing. We have had a bad week but we are still in the race for the EPL (but I dont thibk this is on), we are still in the CC, we are still in the FA cup which hasn't begun yet and finally we will get through to the KO stages of the Champs League which start next year when we will better in terms of organisation, players etc.

We have only conceded 2 goals in 8 games (plus 2 extra time periods) in matches David Luiz has played this season.

So AVB, either get the players who understand your system or go back to the drawing board or bring back Ancelotti or even Avram Grant!

Are you serious? Give the guy a break , hes only in the job a matter of months ffs. The players have to get used to the new system , it will take TIME. Did you honestly think this would be done in a matter of weeks or even months. You obviously think the guy is going to work miracles in his 1st full season in the Prem. Id say next year will be the time to start slagging AVB if the team performs below par on a regular basis.
Have some patience.....
high line only requires pace when you get it wrong.
