Although he was also very good in the defeat to Chelsea for Arteta's first game wasn't he? Feel like he and Auba had huge games that day.
Anyway for a ball playing team passing out from the back he has some quality but bound to make an error at some point. They're clearly trying to prioritise a couple of big signings by keeping cheap backups imo, just shit timing to do his new deal after the calamity vs City.
I have been championing Luiz since we signed him, but his last outing was the last straw for me.
Now I have thought about it and calmed down, he is still our best CB and his playing out from the back is terrific. He was playing very well before the break as well, so, I am not overly opposed to him continuing on.
