If there is a knock on Cahill it's he seems slow at times to close out on guys. Any time he is 1 v 1 with a good forward he backs off and this hurts us sometimes. To me, it seems that he makes more sliding blocks and good clearances more than he hurts us. If Beast is correct in that more goals are scored when he is in there, I wonder how many of those were paired with Luiz than Terry. Luiz and Cahill tends to be a train wreck.

Yep, like in one of the biggest games of last season, vs Tottenham, on Adebayor's goal. Seems to me that if Cahill woulda stepped up, he woulda had plenty of defensive cover if he did get beat but he left him wide open just outside of the box.
