Luiz is a class act playing in a three at the back, useless in a a conventional formation. Not seen enough of Dunk playing in a three but he’s a better in a four than Luiz. In danger of toppling off the fence.

So, one has won the champions league, every league title he’s played for and various other cup competitions. The other plays for Brighton.

If Lewis played for Chelsea and got as many red cards and own goals as he has here, I’m sure the media will brand him as a liability too. David Luiz doesn’t get to play for the big teams as a regular starter without having ability. He’s the better player.

Luiz is clearly a more talented footballer. I doubt he could have played all those games for Brazil, Chelsea and PSG if he couldn't defend. His mistakes are more highly scrutinised, so it gives the impression he is a worse player.

Love Dunky, but doubt he would ever argue he was anywhere near Luiz

In a traditional centre back pairing, Dunk. In a back three, Luiz.

No comparison Luiz is one of the best in the Premier playing with 3 CBs Lewis is a last ditch defender.

you've spelt "Duffy" wrong there.

Luiz is undoubtedly a brilliant footballer but is not a very good defender. never understood how he ended up playing there, Brazilian standards? if he had started career in UK he'd been in midfield.
