It's hard to believe that, having been lauded as one of Arsenal's most important signings since Thierry Henry arrived at the club, Petr Cech is now being vilified by Gunners fans, with his performance against Manchester City today opening up the Czech Republic stopper for a ton of criticism.
Cech was beaten at his near post for both Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne's goals during Arsenal's 2-2 draw with City at the Etihad stadium today and Gunners fans reacted by comparing one of the world's finest goalkeepers to a former Arsenal flop, Manuel Almunia.
It's a far cry from the beginning of the season when Arsenal fans were beside themselves at capturing Cech from Chelsea for £11m. They'd been crying out for a top class goalkeeper since Jens Lehmann left the club and with Cech between the sticks, many members of the Emirates faithful were confident the 2015/16 would finally be the year Arsene Wenger guided the club back to Premier Leaue glory.

Of course, that, as we all know, didn't happen and now Cech is receiving pelters on social media from despairing Gooners.
Harsh or fair? Does Arsene Wenger need to start thinking about ANOTHER goalkeeper?
