Arsenal fans were less than happy when news broke that Sead Kolasinac was going to start against West Ham in the League Cup quarter-final on Tuesday.
Kolasinac has established himself as a fan favourite at the club after joining from Schalke in the summer.
Fans were not expecting to see the defender feature against West Ham, as Wenger was expected to rest players involved with the first team set-up as they play again on Friday.
The Gunners have never won the League Cup under Arsene Wenger despite making two finals.
Last season, Arsenal were eliminated from the tournament by Southampton, which meant that the Gunners have lost their last four home ties in the competition when they’ve had Premier League opposition.
Arsenal and West Ham recently met in the league at the London Stadium and couldn’t be separated, settling for a 0-0 draw.

However, both sides will be disheartened to realise that whoever has won the League Cup tie between the sides previously has gone on to be a losing semi-finalist.
Although it was clear the Gunners fans were more disheartened by Kolasinac appearance in the line-up. A decision which probably means he doesn’t start on Friday.
Here are the best reactions from angry Arsenal fans:
Wish Wenger handled Xhaka the same way he's handling Kolasinac

I really don't understand why kolasinac is being dropped and that too for Maitland Niles. If anyone it should've been bellerin making way becuz of his consistent underperformance

Kolasinac only plays in Cup now, and Niles is better!? What a joking management!
