Anything Alexis Sanchez posts on social media right now is always going to grab the attention of Arsenal fans.

Not only is Sanchez arguably the Gunners' best player, he is also the subject of much debate and discussion thanks to his proposed move to Manchester City never coming to pass.

Hence, when the 28 year-old takes to Instagram to rant that he is "tired of wanting to be defeated… crying after a defeat", you can imagine how that has gone down with the Gooners of the internet.

The fact that Sanchez was actually talking about his current woes with Chile is neither here nor there.

The 2016 Copa America winners have two matches in which to save their qualifying skin, but Sanchez is unhappy by the way the side have been treated by the local media.

"AND TOMORROW IS COMING," Sanchez started his post, which is accompanied by a picture of himself draped in a Chile flag following Arsenal's FA Cup final triumph last season.

"You get tired of being criticized with reason and without reason, you get tired of wanting to be defeated, you get tired of saying to yourself 'I'll get up again' after crying after a defeat, and you get tired of telling the world and people who are with you, that everything is going well.

"And the worst, that no one ever realizes how that makes you feel... I have the No 7 of Chile on my back and it is a huge responsibility, that's why I'm sorry that journalists and bad people criticize without knowing."

In fairness to Arsenal supporters, if you replace 'Chile' with 'Arsenal', every other word in his long post could refer to his current feelings his situation in club football, not just with his international team.

Hence why the many, many, many Gooners on Twitter have plenty to say about Alexis' message to the Chilean press.

There hasn't been a lot of sympathy:

But there has been a fair amount of 'are you going to try and leave them like you tried to leave us' gags:

You must have known Arsenal fans would have something to say about your post… right, Alexis?
