[Tweets] “Shocking”, “Joke” – Arsenal Fans Destroy Player After Man City Horror-Show

By Gooner Mac on February 25, 2018

Arsenal fans have been destroying Shkodran Mustafi on Twitter after the defender’s schoolboy mistake gifted Manchester City the opening goal in the Carabao Cup final this afternoon.

It was a close opening 15 minutes and we were right in the game but some shocking defending from Mustafi allowed Sergio Aguero to race clear to give City an 18th minute lead.

Mustafi failed to get goal-side of the Argentinean international from a goal-kick and didn’t even make an attempt to win the header as Aguero raced on to Claudio Bravo’s kick to lob over David Ospina for 1-0.

It was truly woeful defending from Mustafi and understandably he’s come under huge criticism from Arsenal fans with large numbers taking to Twitter to vent their frustration at the German international.

In truth, none of the Arsenal players covered themselves in glory today as we put-in a poor overall performance with City easing to a 3-0 victory thanks to second half goals from Vincent Kompany and David Silva.

However, it’s a case of what might have been had Mustafi defended that goal kick properly so it’s understandable why so many fans have been trashing the centre-back on social media.

Check out a video of the mistake and what the fans have been saying below:

I’d sub Mustafi straight off for that.
International Centre Half doing that, what an absolute wanker

MUSTAFI GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY CLUB

Mustafi is such a joke.

Mustafi with the worst defending I’ve seen. Gary Neville calls it under 12 defending. Shocking. £35m centre-half. Embarrassing. 1-0.

Shocking from Mustafi

We have actually started quite well. But that’s one of the worst bits of defending I’ve ever seen. Wow.

Told you lot ages ago Mustafi is shit. Poor in the air, weak, slow, can't pass. What does he do well?

Regardless of the push – Mustafi's positioning was an absolute joke.

He's clueless, and we need to replace him.

No wonder we tried to bin him off to West Brom on deadline day last summer.
