I don't think Luiz is the obvious partner for Terry. He's a disaster waiting to happen in any game.

He makes at least one catastrophic error in any game he plays. At the top level you can't afford that.

Well I'd say you're being a little bit melodramatic there but it's an easy shot to take after his mistake a couple of weeks ago, lets agree to disagree, I think he has other assets that make up for his occasional cockups, he's a nailed on starter for Brazil, captain on occasion.

Hernandez second for Utd

KevIRL

Rodellega gets a second for Fulham also

KevIRL

Crouch scores for Stoke

Mr.Prodston

Crouch goal for Stoke. 2 goals in 2 games, is that a bandwagon I hear? :pac:

KevIRL

Ozil on for Arsenal

KevIRL

V long stoppage at OT for what looks a serious injury to Snograss

KevIRL

Mata goal

KevIRL

And Giroud on for Arsenal instead of big Nic

KevIRL

Redmond off injured for Norwich too

Arnie goal Stoke

KevIRL

Matt Taylor pen for West Ham. Remember the season he was OOP as a defender for Pompey I think and scored a bunch of goals

KevIRL

Rooney on for Utd at 2-0 up, odd

KevIRL

Phil Jones goal Utd

KevIRL

Karagunis goal Fulham

KevIRL

Fabio goal for Utd, after a peach of a ball from Rooney.

KevIRL

Collison goal West Ham

KevIRL

All over bar Birmingham v Stoke which finished 3-3 and is gone to ET

Chelsea, Man Utd, West Ham through. Arsenal, Norwich, Fulham out. Leicester the only non EPL team through so far

It's not as if that mistake against Cardiff was a once off. Have a read of this article from a year ago:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9639586/David-Luizs-inept-display-at-the-back-shows-how-hard-it-will-be-to-replace-Chelsea-anchorman-John-Terry.html

Luiz has been making errors for a long time now and I don't think Mourinho will allow the problem to continue,

Dos he start in defence or midfield for Brazil?

I don't doubt his abilities. He has plenty of good attributes. He'll just never be a central defender for me. Defensive midfielder is more his position IMO. Then he has the defence to cover his errors.

Stoke beat Birmingham 4-2 on pens after a 4-4 draw in the match to round off the nights action.

2 games tomorrow Newcastle v Man City and Spurs v Hull before the round is completed next week for some reason with Sunderland v Southampton

Is it because Newcastle and Sunderland usually play one home, one away? I can't see why that would of stopped them having one game last night and one tonight though.

8-10

I think it's because the league game was on Sunday so neither team would agree to the cup game 2 days later.

City have a strong enough team out but I still don't know how Newcastle haven't scored against them.I've no City players in my squad,the only one I'd consider is Aguero.

KevIRL

Both games tonight finish level tonight and go to extra time. 0-0 in City game and 1-1 in Spurs game
