Remember that time last summer when Aaron Ramsey was the best midfielder in the world?
Judging by the reaction to his first half showing against Bournemouth on Tuesday evening, that time is now a distant memory.
Before Arsenal had even kicked off the Premier League clash, their supporters were up in arms at the fact that the Welshman looked to have been named in a wide area for the match. As Bournemouth established a 2-0 lead, plenty were pointing the finger in his direction.
One of which was Piers Morgan – no stranger to criticising Ramsey down the years. Instead of calling for the midfielder to be subbed, he went one stage further… Not like him to overreact, is it?
I don't just want @aaronramsey substituted at half time.
I want him sold. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 3, 2017
But Piers was not alone. Plenty of fellow Arsenal fans were in agreement.
Some even hit caps lock to demonstrate their anger.
WHY IS RAMSEY STILL ON THE PITCH

Others simply couldn’t stand to watch it.

Or even look at him.

For some, this was an opportunity to bemoan Arsene Wenger’s decision to loan Jack Wilshere out…
How we kept Ramsey over Wilshere is beyond me

At least some were looking for the positives…
One positive is Wenger can't sub Ramsey on in the second half.
