Popular Post wilko154 Posted January 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2020 Don't shoot the messenger but he shouldn't be starting games yet. No doubt about it he's a talent and he's changed two games from the bench. Starting, he looks weak and complacent sat in front of the back two. He makes mistakes and has cost us in games. Off the bench he looks fresh, dangerous and determined to create something for the team. Last two games he has been a joy to watch and he will become an incredible midfielder. He's only 21, he's improving but right now he's benefiting the team coming on for 20-30 minute cameos and long may it continue! 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 His awareness in the centre of the park at times is extremely poor. It was his poor header back to Mings which really, should have seen Mings sent off as a result of a handball, Luiz just was not aware of the run a Watford player was making who read the header. He has lost the ball in the centre of the park on several occasions again due to a lack of awareness and it has cost us before. For me this is his biggest weakness, the good news is that it should be straight forward to improve. There's certainly talent there but he's not quite ready to be a regular starter at this level IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a big advocate for him since he signed and get frustrated when he hasn't started, but there's no denying the impact he's having coming on later in the game Vs being a starter. Drinkwater having his best half so far with us yesterday probably helped, but even so there's an obvious gear change in our play when Luiz appears. By next season I hope he will be an obvious first XI choice and with a few more quality midfield additions in the summer (need Leeds to fail so we can grab Philips) he could be a key player. No doubting his desire and ability, but maturing his awareness and growing him into the role I think he can play for us may take the rest of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 He’s not a DM is he? Needs to find and stick to his position, a great prospect with genuine quality. He will only get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be in a team that keeps possesion and with better players, hes not your typical kante, Fernandinho more gundogan type, he will develop into great player all great DM’s are all rounders the ability to dribble and start attacks are as big an asset as defending and breaking plays up hopefully he can develop that side of his game Edited January 22, 2020 by gwi1890 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 22, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2020 It was a smart finish by Luiz as well. Deliberately roofed it. He had players in front of him and a diving keeper. if he doesn't put it high, it probably wouldn't go in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 His changed the the last two matches after coming on with a sublime pass and a solid finish, but in the match yesterday we kept possession better when Drinkwater was on. He needs to improve his decision making and concentration in order to excel in his position. I think Drinkwater was brought in partly for Luiz' benefit. As they are similar players (deep lying playmakers). Drinkwater is a good example to learn from for Luiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he would suit the roaming number 10 role like grealish. As in play grealish and Luiz behind samatta so Luiz can roam around, then have drinkwater and Nakamba as the central two.

Agree we need to find his position or build a position around him. He seems a very flexible player though. Like McGinn or Grealish I am not fussed where in midfield he plays I just like to see him play, he just ooozes quality and work rate just like them. He has more mistakes in him sure but he is only 21 and this is his first season. Cracking signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
