Plenty of Arsenal fans slammed Everton’s Alex Iwobi following his poor display in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old ended his 15-year association with the Gunners in the summer, completing a deadline day move to Goodison Park which could rise to £35m.
However, things haven’t worked out for the Nigerian up north so far, and his struggles continued.
He played 90 minutes at Anfield in the 5-2 loss which resulted in Marco Silva’s side slipping into the drop zone.
And during the game, many Arsenal fans took to social media to give their views on the former winger.

Read Arsenal verdict
Iwobi has failed to meet expectations with the Toffees during his first four months on Merseyside and one of his worst showings came at the wrong time.
Right now, Arsenal look like they’ve played a blinder by recouping up to £35m for his services.
However, supporters will also know that Iwobi has the potential to star in the top flight.
He’ll need to dramatically improve very quickly, and if he does, these fans may be forced to eat their words in the future.
