This isn't some kid we're talking about, this is an International defender with 70 caps......the errors were 100% down to him nothing to do with the rest of the defence, if he can't stay in position that's his own fault, just as it is if he allows his man to get a free header or to turn him.
When Luiz was bought Chelsea had problems in defence, he was still fantastic though...so it's nothing to do with the partnership, a good defender performs well regardless of his partner, the team may still concede goals but if he does what he's suppose to he can't be blamed for them....today he was at fault numerous times.
