Arsenal supporters were disappointed by the performance of one key defender during their Europa League semi-final exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid.
After drawing 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium last week, the Gunners had to find the scoresheet on the road but instead they conceded a goal to Diego Costa which pretty much summed the affair.
Following the loss, the fans were critical about the showing of a number of players but Mustafi topped the list after another average performance on the road.
Mustafi has struggled with his positioning over the second half of the campaign and the supporters were not pleased by the same after conceding a soft goal prior to the break.
Imagine being a defender knowing Ospina is behind you. Then again, imagine being a keeper knowing Mustafi is in front of you.

I don't want mustafi to play for us next season. Loan him out, sell him, do whatever the f**k we need to do to get him away and bring in proper defenders and fix this whole mess up. Don't care whatever dirty tactics we employ, let's just get back to where we belong.

Is Mustafi capable of staying on his feet? I've never seen a defender dive in so much.

Calum Chambers should be in the first team ahead of Mustafi as of next season.

Arsenal lost Laurent Koscielny early due to an Achilles injury and shortly after, he was replaced by Calum Chambers, who unquestionably was the best defender on the pitch.
The England international continued from his fine showing at Old Trafford with another outing where he made several interceptions including a last-ditch tackle to prevent Griezmann from scoring.
Mustafi has had a season to forget with the Gunners, and it will be interesting to see where his future holds during the summer, considering he could have left for Inter Milan last year.
The former Valencia man appeared close to linking up with the Nerazzurri at the start of the season but the deal did not materialise owing to a disagreement over the transfer package.
