Scapegoat Jack Grealish slaughtered on Twitter after Arsenal annihilate Villa

And there was us thinking football was a team game.

Arsenal are the 2015 FA Cup champions after putting Aston Villa to the chopping block, sword and bin bag at Wembley today. The Gunners walloped Villa 4-0 to give Arsene Wenger, their boss, his sixth FA Cup success. Ireland Under-21 Jack Grealish was kept very quiet by Arsenal and rarely featured as an attacking threat. The best he could muster was an 84th minute shot that crashed into Laurent Koscielny's midriff. On the BBC, former Villa striker Dion Dublin called for him to be replaced, by Gabby Agbonlahor, at half-time. Tim Sherwood, his boss, kept him on for the entire match and, instead, sacrificed Charles N'Zogbia early in the piece. It made little difference as Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez [below], Per Mertesacker and Olivier Giroud's goals sealed an easy triumph. Given the fact that Grealish had been placed on a pedestal by some many coaches, players, fans and pundits, he came in for an avalanche of Twitter abuse. https://twitter.com/theo_mattar/status/604706848030228480 https://twitter.com/jallison31/status/604710991327281152 There were many Jack Grealish for Ireland jokes  https://twitter.com/conorjgraham/status/604705124301328384 This fan was debating the merits of playing Carles Gil instead https://twitter.com/gavinvcf/status/604705973295542272 https://twitter.com/WeeNiallMcG/status/604706104468230144 This lad believes in neither magic, miracles nor Grealish https://twitter.com/Alexthomo01/status/604705859940302848
