Lay off Luiz — he’s a class act

I’m not going to even debate whether our first goal should have stood or not as the Cardiff keeper shouldn’t have even been on the pitch after handling the ball outside his area.

Lay off Luiz — he’s a class act

And if anyone for a moment is going to suggest this incident changed the game then I would suggest they look at the quality of our goals, the movement of our midfield and the possession throughout the game — we were always going to win.

I once described David Luiz as a gorgeous, adorable puppy who occasionally shits on your cream carpets and I’m going to stick with that. I’m not going to defend his mistake on Saturday as even the most staunch Luiz apologists (of which I count myself) would have trouble doing that even though I still think he is the man to partner JT at the back.
