"this is the same bloke who nearly decapitated a lower league player with his elbow when he couldnt get the better of him."

Remember that v Brentford.  Nasty nasty piece of work.  And dreadful defender.

up against Schurrle for the germans 7th goal......brushed aside.

Where is Unbiased telling everyone that they don't understand how to judge a player? 

It's all gone quiet over there!

and they are set at 10 to 2

Players look to their leader for an example to follow.
Brazil did and like LUIZ they all ran around like headless chickens. The only thing they didn't do was run around elbowing the opposition like LUIZ did. He could have been sent off 3 times and got away with it. Just like he did at Chelsea and got away with it.
He may be a good player if used in midfield, but said before tournament that no team with LUIZ at central defender can win anything.
Mourinho must be laughing all the way to the bank after getting rid.

I read somewhere that distinctive looking players catch the eye on the pitch, are overvalued in the transfer market.

The first example was Claudia Cannigia, with his long blonde hair.  Then Carlos Valderamma, David Beckham (new hairstyle every few months) .  Now Manuel Fellaini, David Luiz.
All show, no go.

If I didn't reply you would think I was running away,so here goes.Yes,he had a poor game ,but so did many other Brazilians.
  I have advocated right from the start that his BEST position is defensive midfield,just in front of the back 4,and that is where Jose put him,in the end,and he had some very good games against top players in the Prem.Agree centre back isn't for him,and that brings up the point about Scolari.
  Going into the game relying on Fred+ Hulk says all you need to know.They have been poor right through the tournament,as have many players too.I believe Oscar stated he was "burnt out" before the games started,and needless to say he had some poor games.
  I don't rate Scolari at all as a coach,and he appears to have no tactical awareness whatsoever.He achieved success in the past with Brazil due to having some very good players,and wasn't able to mess up.This time round he has some very average players,and got it all wrong.One player can't shoulder ALL the blame,but the coach can!
   If the team had no discipline,he must take the blame,and has made Brazil a laughing stock throughout the World.

average player
no matter what position he plays
hugely overpriced

HowieTheRookie.
The Premiership will miss the likes of him and Suarez (I know they both have their knockers, but they are very entertaining players)

Well he certainly made me laugh last night.

morpteh mackem
one of best players i've ever seen, could play in any position. just a natural.



Ibrahima Sonko
top class player, clearly too gifted to be a centre back.

Clearly

hello :-)
when I first started watching him play for Chelsea I was amazed by the flair and all round game he had , could defend , pass , cross , score goals , run , all with style of a true Brazilian , one of my fav players and a real shame he has gone from premiership

Oh stop, my sides are hurting!

unbiased
Obviously too many on here unable to know what is a talented footballer,and apparently think the top clubs in Europe are nuts for wanting to sign him,and are clueless.



Luiz has been shown up for what he is - a headless chicken.

I think this fred should be removed.

that was the worst ever performance by a centre half i have ever seen.

another great start by the 50 million dollar kid....

Will stand by what I said , never seen the guy as a centre half as he is a little cavalier at times , stick him in midfield and you would see an amazing player

I wouldn't read much into tonite or against germany , shell shock

If any of you like a trade its going to pay to keep an eye on PSG price , thier going to go close in Europe

every player has bad patches wallis , strikers droughts for example

Ive seen enough of Luiz to know the guy has a hazardous side , but I also see a side that is sheer genius

playing 50/60 yard passes to feet out of nowhere , goals that are astounding , determination and energy

If he was as this thread is trying to paint him then don't you think the other four Brazilians at PSG would have advised them to steer clear , they were very very happy to land him

I believe PSG will go very close in champ league next year and Luiz will play a big part in that

I am lost for words to describe how bad his defensive header was for the second goal.

totally agree
it has nothing to do with pressure though
he is just an average player
who is now trying to do
things beyond his ability
and it all makes him
look even worse

bottom line
PSG massively overpaid

Yeah fully deserved
