Arsenal fans have seen enough and demand he's in the squad to face Chelsea on Tuesday.
One X user wrote: "Have seen enough. Get him in the first team ASAP."
A second tweeted: "Just remove him second half. I need him against Chelsea tomorrow."
A third added: "It might be under 21s V Blackburn but that’s a crazy goal. Imagine if we had this guy this season."
A fourth said: "None of our other full backs can do this. He would've been such an amazing option this season."
Another commented: "I need him against Chelsea."
Timber has played just one match for the Gunners since his summer transfer from Ajax after suffering a crushing injury on his Premier League debut.
He's impressed in training having recovered from his ACL injury and could feature for the first-team before the season is over.
On the 22-year-old, Mikel Arteta said: "He’s going to play a game with the under-21s and after that, we will see better where he is, how he felt.
"He looks really good in training, but it’s that last step now. We need to have the certainty that he’s ready to go."
