‘He is absolute garbage’ – Fans are bashing this Arsenal star after Atletico draw
Several Arsenal fans took to social media to react to the result against Atletico Madrid in the semi-final of the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Gunners have had a season to forget in the Premier League this term, having surrendered any hopes of finishing in the top four after falling well behind rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Thus, winning the Europa League is now Arsene Wenger’s priority and the Frenchman saw his side dominate the affair against Atletico Madrid on Thursday after an early sending off for the away team.
However, much of the hard work from the Gunners, which saw them take the lead through a header from Alexandre Lacazette, was left undone by a high-profile mistake from Laurent Koscielny in the dying moments of the game.
The France international has not received too many positive reviews for his performances this season and as expected, he was handed a real bashing from the fans on social media.
That goal sums up Koscielny’s career at Arsenal. Good player but always ends up making game-changing mistakes.

Koscielny is absolute garbage. Has been for years

Laurent Koscielny takes injections every other day to be able to play for this club. It doesn't do him nor the club any good. Was a very good CB in his prime but now he's 32 and almost done. He makes minimum 1 mistake every game. And it's detrimental to the team.

Tony Adams after 17 cans of Tennents Super would still do a better job than Koscielny

You'd forgive Koscielny if this was just a player in decline but he's been making mistakes in big games since day 1
