You can't ignore Luiz being stupid or act like clown but when fully focused he si excellent.
Perhaps the imminent arrival of Saliba is part of the reason we extended Luiz? That character, willingness to help and he’s the only defender we have that speaks French.
I know his errors on the pitch drive us all crazy, but he’s the kind of character we’ve needed at the club for ages.
At least he gets to call Arteta "Mister" nowThere was a growing sense that David Luiz, his former team-mate, was looking to leave and when Lampard critically examined his performance after their final warm-up game, against Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany, Luiz’s reaction made up his mind. The hostile response included Luiz addressing Lampard, who is referred to by all as “gaffer”, by his forename. Luiz was sold to Arsenal four days later.
If the team is structured and plays well around him he is quite a good player. Once things start falling apart he just starts freelancing and things really go down the drain. Look at him against Germany in the 7-1 loss. He was so out of control it was unreal.Down to being in a back three again? He was elite under Conte, it’s when he’s in a pairing he loses it.
