Arsenal Vs Manchester City: 3 huge questions from damning defeat

1. What is David Luiz’s future?

Defensive mistakes and David Luiz go hand in hand. As soon as he was introduced for Pablo Mari, there was reason to be scared. It took him just 25 minutes to confirm those fears. It started with the first goal when his poor attempted clearance from Kevin de Bruyne’s pass let in Raheem Sterling to give City the lead.

His sending-off in the second half was equally as calamitous. First pulled out of position, then outpaced, Riyad Mahrez ran rings around Luiz before being hauled to the floor in the penalty area. To put it politely, he had an absolute nightmare. It was classic behaviour from Luiz.

Given that he can now leave on a free this summer, serious questions regarding his future must be asked. His presence in the dressing room is a lift for a lot of the younger players but unfortunately, this is not matched by his ability. He is too much of a liability on the pitch.

If Arteta is to keep him which he might do as he has heavily praised his leadership skills int he past, he needs to keep him as a leader off the pitch, someone to lift the spirits of the players on the training pitch or in the dressing room, and not as an error-strewn mess on the pitch. Luiz’s future is up in the air and the questions are mounting.
