Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to question the whereabouts of Pablo Mari.
The centre-back was signed initially on loan in January, although the Gunners have an option to make that deal permanent in the summer.
However, since arriving in north London, the former Manchester City defender hasn’t played a single minute of action for Mikel Arteta’s side, making just one appearance for the Arsenal U23’s.
In truth, it hasn’t been necessary to play the Spaniard with Shkodran Mustafi and David Luiz keeping back-to-back clean sheets in wins over Newcastle and Olympiacos, although Sunday’s encounter with Everton led to questions being asked from the Arsenal fans on Twitter.
The Gunners conceded two first-half goals from set-pieces against the Toffees, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison bagging from free-kick and corner deliveries respectively – Mari wasn’t even on the bench for the match against Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
As a result, supporters on Twitter have been asking about Mari…
To kick off the reaction, these two supporters asked why Arsenal even signed the centre-back.
Sam asked why Mari was brought in, before Tanzeel questioned why the north Londoners signed “this Pablo Mari fella” – only Arteta will know the answer to that question.
Elsewhere, these three fans also asked about the former Flamengo star.
@PepArtetaFC asked why David Luiz continues to be played in defence, and questioned why Arteta isn’t playing Mari.
When did that happen?! Premier League experts will know which surprising clubs these stars once played for…
Then, @AFCLuf asked if the defender was injured, while @DerrickJaheim simply wondered where the Spaniard actually is.
Lastly, after watching Luiz and Mustafi defend against Everton, ‘Edd’ simply begged for the January arrival to be good.
In other news, this pre-match decision from Mikel Arteta got these supporters talking on Twitter…
