Very good performance except for that one moment Bruno did him in the box.
Because Gary tried to jinx usI have no idea how he got MOTM today. Not a single good thing came from him today.
Odd he got MOTM today, he literally got it cause of that sh*t free kick that he celebrated blocking.
As a whole though he’s been decent, has got lucky Southampton and tonight as he could have been at fault for conceding but got bailed out (which is what a team should be doing).
I would have given it to Xhaka or Holding.Hmm for me he was clear MOTM, only one who comes close is Xhaka and Holding.
Every time we'll have a clean sheet with Luiz in a team, all credit will go to him because of his worldwide reputation. Holding is our main guy for sure, and Luiz will cost us points very soon, it's inevitable. We can only hope we don't get knocked out from the EL because of him, mistakes there will be more costly than when he does them in the PLRob was actually the better defender on the night but some of his forward passing was off. Even still he deserved it over Luiz tonight in my opinion.
I can see us doing that. I've a feeling Saliba, be it on loan or permanent, won't be with us next season and it would cost decent money to sign a replacement if Luiz was to leave as well which we may not have depending on European qualification.If the club decided that Saliba wasn't ready and would benefit from a solid 18 months of first team football on loan, would it be worth giving Luiz a 1 year extension?
As in you'd have Holding, Luiz, Gabriel and Mari as your 4 CB options, then when Saliba is ready he comes in once Luiz leaves.
I'm not saying that's an ideal scenario, but if money is tight it might not be a bad solution, you'd have to spend at least 25-30m on a new CB otherwise.
I can see us doing that. I've a feeling Saliba, be it on loan or permanent, won't be with us next season and it would cost decent money to sign a replacement if Luiz was to leave as well which we may not have depending on European qualification.
I could live with a 1 year deal at an absolute push but seeing as Silva at Chelsea is almost 3 years older than him I wouldn't put it past us offering Luiz more than 1 year.
