Arsenal fans identify one player they don't want near first team after poor display

Arsenal fans don't want Shkodran Mustafi anywhere near Unai Emery's first team this season after yet another poor performance against Bayern Munich.

The centre-back was at fault for Robert Lewandowski's goal in Arsenal's 2-1 win over the German giants in their pre-season friendly.

Gunners fans took to Twitter to slam his display, labelling him a "headache" for Arsenal.

"Mustafi causing mayhem and chaos at the back as always," wrote one exasperated supporter, while another added: "Mustafi's confidence is shot! He's playing even worse than his normal standard and the season hasn't even started."

A third said: "I know it's pre-season but Mustafi really is not good enough.

"Poorly timed jump for Bayern's equaliser. Please dear god someone buy him before the end of the window."

And a fourth concluded: "Mustafi has become headache for Arsenal. He was sloppy throughout the match against Bayern Munich. He is responsible for the [Robert] Lewandowski goal.

"I think we should give [Calum] Chambers a chance rather than playing him or else we will be conceding more goals than last year."

Arsenal have something of a problem at centre-back given the fact Laurent Koscielny went on strike and refused to go on the club's pre-season tour of America.

Emery also doesn't have the funds to bring in a world-class operator and is linked to players in other positions, including Wilfried Zaha and Kieran Tierney.
