Arsenal fans have slammed French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi for his performance last night.
The 20-year-old was far from his best against Standard Liege on Thursday night, as the Gunners struggled to a 2-2 draw in the Europa League.
The result, in part thanks to Vitoria’s 3-2 win against Frankfurt, saw the Gunners progress through as group winners.
Guendouzi started alongside Willock in midfield, but these fans on social media were not impressed with what they saw.

Read Arsenal verdict
Guendouzi’s form of late is indicative of Arsenal and the current slump they find themselves in this season.
The Frenchman started the season well under Unai Emery, he was widely viewed as one of only a few bright sparks for the Gunners.
He has struggled in recent weeks, with the pressure of being a key first-team player appearing to get better of him.
Arsenal fans will be hoping that this is nothing more than a learning curve for the player, who in Granit Xhaka’s absence, has been forced to step up into a more important first-team role than what would normally be expected of him.
