I know I know, we've won our first 4 games blah di blah di blah - but come on, Luiz couldn't defend his way out of a paper bag! Even yesterday, Bournemouth missed 2 sitters before we scored and both times it was down to Luiz losing his man. We will win nothing with him in a back 4 - Oh! how I wish we had got Van Dijk. Sort it Sarri.

Miss Wood, I’m not a massive fan of Luiz but playing him in defence gives us a defensive playmaker. I guess it’s a question of what you prefer. Is it an out and out defender or a ball playimg defender.

It’s reasonable to argue that Christensen gives us both.

I agree that Christensen should play but I think it is not an out and out / playmaker, it is a lack of a leader; we have been sadly lacking since JT left; neither Cahill nor Azpi nor Christensen nor Zouma nor Rudiger are leaders - Luiz is a leader but he can't defend! That is why I believe that we should have really pushed for Van Dijk, to play alongside Christensen.

Good points Miss Wood.
