David Luiz spun on his heels and immediately began to jab his finger towards the assistant referee in front of the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand.
It was 61 minutes into a key day for Arsenal and Luiz wanted to know why Adam Nunn had not flagged to halt a Liverpool attack. All very good, you may think. Arsenal had signed Luiz from Chelsea to provide direction and leadership and this little cameo seemed to embody what they wanted.
Right? Wrong. If Luiz was hoping to cover his tracks with overt gestures, he failed hopelessly. This pantomime kidded nobody in the stadium. There was a reason the scoreboard in the far corner of the stadium read 'Liverpool 3 Arsenal 0' at that point and Luiz could not hide his culpability.
