- Chelsea fans slate David Luiz for first-half vs. Tottenham.
- Luiz dodged the ball allowing Harry Kane to add a second.
- WATCH: Horrific piece of Luiz defending gifts Kane a goal
Chelsea fans have turned on David Luiz following a despicable first-half display against Tottenham at Wembley.
Maurizio Sarri has shown a lot of faith in Luiz this season. The Brazilian was shunned by Antonio Conte, but has been offered a life-line by Sarri. The gaffer must be wondering why he even bothered while watching today’s game.
Luiz is suspect defensively. We’ve known that his entire career, but the sheer extent of his shortfalls has been exposed for the world to see today. Time and time again his inability to perform the basics of defending allowed Spurs to break our back-line.
The part he played in Harry Kane’s goal was absolutely shocking, too. Luiz moved out of the way of Kane’s shot, leaving Kepa Arrizabalaga wrong-footed, and watched the ball nestle in the bottom corner of the Chelsea goal.
He’s been absolutely dreadful, and Chelsea fans on Twitter have not held back. Have a look at this…
Has a defender who so obviously can’t defend ever had such a prolonged and decorated top-level career as David Luiz?

And yet our weakest link has been David Luiz. https://t.co/9pGnOosUXK

Pretty sure Luiz has been at direct fault of about 7 or 8 goals this season.

Being a ball playing CB discounts you from having basic defensive technique? Luiz needs to be binned. We’re still living in 2013.
