Arsenal fans are less than impressed with goalkeeper Neto during his debut against Girona in the Champions League.
It came as the Gunners looked to secure a place in the top eight in the competition, requiring just a point from the match.
There were a few changes from Mikel Arteta, plenty of them as rotation, but one such move was enforced for the manager.
David Raya was injured ahead of the clash, meaning there was a debut for Neto, making his first appearance for Arsenal since joining from Bournemouth on loan last summer.
Neto’s nervous debut for Arsenal against Girona
Neto got his first chance to play for Arsenal against Girona, given his opportunity to feature and show why he was signed in the Champions League.
Unfortunately for him though, it was a shaky first half for the shot-stopper, who was almost caught on the ball with one of his first touches.
While it was a lucky escape in that situation, he wasn’t quite as fortunate later on as Neto was caught in no man’s land during an attack for the home side.
Former Tottenham loanee Arnaut Danjuma curled an effort beyond the Brazilian to open the scoring.
It was far from a glorious moment for Neto, who will be wanting to forget the difficult early moments in an Arsenal shirt.
Arsenal fans react to Neto debut mistake
Fans were less than impressed with the mistake from the goalkeeper, taking to social media to give their thoughts on the blunder.
One supporter said on social media: “Neto channelling his inner Manuel Almunia.”
Another added: “Neto didn’t even deserve to play in the Champions League. We should have played Setford if we wanted to rest Raya,” although it was revealed that Raya was injured.
“I understand why Neto didn’t play until today. Don’t think we should let him touch grass for us again,” another said.
Others were simply fuming, stating: “Neto what are you doing bro.”
The comparisons with former goalkeepers continued with: “Brother Neto, you make me miss Ramsdale uno.”
Another fan added: “Neto would’ve got sent off had he got his hand on that ball and that didn’t end up going at the back of the net. What was he thinking?”
Many will be hoping that Raya will be back in time for the big clash against Manchester City over the weekend.
