Emerson is playing as a wing back today, and plenty of people on Twitter were pleading for a big game from the Italian after some really shocking efforts in recent games.
Instead of that, he’s managed to get himself in even more hot water after some pathetic defending from a corner that Arsenal ended up scoring for. He allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to run off his back all too easily, and he then nipped in front of the defender to score.
Fans on Twitter, having called for a big performance, were understandably annoyed. One even asked for his contract to be terminated, which is going a little far, but you can understand the annoyance.
It’s crazy to think how popular he was a few weeks into the season after some good showings. What happened to that Emerson? We need him back, ASAP…

Emerson ball watching but they’ve all been asleep so far. Arsenal fully deserve the lead. Damn, we really need to fix up.

Another set piece. Another goal conceded.
Deserved lead for the hosts. Chelsea have been poor since the off.
Emerson has to do better.#ARSCHE

Horrible, horrible from Emerson. Apparently he thought he was marking oxygen.
