Arsenal fans will want to forget Sunday afternoon's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in a hurry, but fans are still venting their frustration at players on social media.

Earlier today, Mesut Ozil posted a heartfelt apology on Instagram, apologising for the club's performance at Anfield, but fans have continued to criticise the midfielder for his actions on the field.

Even before a ball had been kicked, Arsenal fans lost their heads after Arsene Wenger dropped club record signing Alexandre Lacazette in favour of Danny Welbeck.

But fans have since gone too far, posting 'death threats and abusive language' to midfielder Granit Xhaka on Instagram, according to Arsenal Twitter account @afcstuff.

Many fans blasted fellow supporters actions, with one comment saying: 'He doesn't deserve that kind of treatment' while another fan said some fans are 'disgusting'.

Xhaka, who has impressed in certain games this season, wasn't the only player to receive backlash from supporters, but this certain incident seems particularly harsh.

This diagram has emerged on Twitter in recent hours and you have to admit, there is truth in the following description:
