Arsenal hero Ray Parlour says it's time for David Luiz to be axed.

Luiz put in a dreadful performance during his side's 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday, conceding a penalty and getting sent off as well as being at fault for the opening goal.

"His age is well against him," Parlour said on talkSPORT. "It depends on what sort of money he wants. I'm sure he's on a very very good contract at Arsenal the way they got him in, so he's not going to get less money.

"I think he says he wants a two-year deal as well. It's a massive decision Arsenal have got to make. If I was Arsenal I would be saying no. He's had some good games when I've been over there at the Emirates at certain times, but for me he makes too many mistakes at wrong times in games and he doesn't learn from it.

"As I said when he signed he will make mistakes and he will cost you at times but that's why they brought him in to give them that bit of experience. I've heard he's a great lad around the dressing room.

"He's a fantastic leader and his career has been excellent. You look at the medals he's won, Champions Leagues. He's been very successful in England. I just think it's time for Arsenal to say no.

"That's not the road we want to go down, we need to improve, even if you bring in some more youngsters or try and bring a centre-half in. Defending is an art and you've got to learn it from a young age."
