Roberto Di Matteo has risen to the defence of Brazilian defender David Luiz.
The 25-year-old central defender was widely described as at fault for Manchester United's second goal in the midweek cup game.
The Blues manager said: 'You need to see both sides because on one hand you a have a fantastic player who can decide games for you and on the other you need to take into account that everybody can make mistakes.
'We want our defenders to play, to be involved when we are attacking. I know more focus is put on the mistakes but David Luiz scored a fantastic free-kick against Nordsjaelland and other important goals for us.
'You need to be able to take the best out of the players and I will never restrict his qualities and he is a fantastic player for us. Certainly we are working on the fact that in certain moments it is better to play it simple, but he is a player with great qualities and he has decided many games for us as well.'
