David Luiz – Arsenal’s £8 million Mustafi replacement

Considering how faulty Mustafi’s defence was last season, Arsenal fans were head over heals to get David Luiz for a meagre £8million. A budget friendly club signing of one of the most experienced defenders in Premier League from Chelsea seemed tasty.

But as bitter it may sound, David Luiz has proved out to be no less than the not so useful Mustafi that we had. The only difference there and here is that the Spaniard was also seen warming the bench when required, but now with no Koscielny, we have to play David Luiz, almost always.

We all remember the shambolic display of Mustafi in the 3-2 loss of Arsenal last season. The Spaniard had cost all the three goals and was accused to be antagonist of our loss. Following the game, the Gunners never wanted him anymore, yet there we are with a more Mustafi in Luiz.

David Luiz has had an indifferent start to Arsenal career, giving away goals in the 4 games that he has played. The Brazilian defender has cost us more goals than any other defender in the Premier League. To say the stats, David Luiz has given a penalty for every goal that we have conceded.

Since the arrival of David Luiz, we have not been able to maintain a clean sheet. And Sokratis is doing no good either. Both the experienced candidates are faltering with Luiz epitomising the law of fu**ing around.

If Luiz in the game against Liverpool was a bane, in the game against Watford he was nothing more than a mannequin on the field waiting to give away penalty in 80th minute. The Brazilian has already given away two penalties in only two games that he has played.

We were so busy getting over the misfortunes of Mustafi that we forgot that we had bought a plastic surgered £8 million Mustafi in David Luiz. The defender has to rise up the occasion and prove every single soul, why he is in the Premier League for so long. Otherwise, one more Mustafi will bite the dusk.
