Arsenal fans were not impressed with Francis Coquelin’s display against Red Star Belgrade as the midfielder set the tone for an underwhelming performance with his very first touch.

The 26-year-old has been hampered by poor form and injuries in his time at Arsenal, but supporters seem to be losing patience with the Frenchman.

Coquelin was starting his first game for Arsenal this season in the Europa League, but immediately got off to a bad start.

Hamstring injuries have kept Coquelin sidelined so far this season, but the Gunner was guilty of a terrible first touch against the Serbian side.

The ball comes to Coquelin with acres of space around him, but his touch takes the ball away from him and several yards in the wrong direction.

The incident did not go unnoticed by Arsenal fans who were alarmed to see such a questionable first touch from one of their players.
