For Thiago Silva's equaliser
Terry was marking Cahill imagine that was Luiz
Also if it was him who handled the ball in the area
A gif would be found or am I reaching?
Terry generally excells in that area though
I haven't seen the game yet so can't say, I probably wouldn't have cruicified him for a handball (unless it was one of those intentional ones with his wierd temperament)
I don't rate Silva too much either, but he is at least what Luiz should be, a technically gifted GB who makes use of his recovery pace and athleticism etc
Neither can defend too well

Watched that gif over and over cant tell if thats a mistake
Hes the one who clears it first beating ivanovic and goes to win it again but the flick does him
The man covering should then deal with it but ivanovic reads it(gets lucky)
Defo 50:50

But as said before luiz is the defender you want if you want to win games on the front foot and not by old school rearguard action
And looks like an attacking team on the front foot dealt with a rearguard team last night

Nah not 50/50, he was touch tight, and lost concentration at phase 1 (because the cross came to the edge of the box, not directly to him)
phase 2 was the flick, but he hadn't anticipated it, so Ivanovic was allowed to get goalside
You can't just win the first ball and then switch off
Kompany has played well domestically, I am sure he has had a few big game though they dont come to mind, but the point is, Kompany regularly displays better defensive attributes than Luiz, whereas Luiz regularly does things like the above, but every so often will play well in a big game (this more often than not involves attacking play rather than defending though)
Again I say Kompany is overrated but Luiz is just an accident waiting to happen
