Al-Nassr fans on X have criticized Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate Abdulrahman Ghareeb after witnessing his poor performance during their 3-1 win against Al-Akhdoud. The two sides faced each other in the Saudi Pro League at Al-Awwal Park on Thursday, January 9.

Sultan Al-Ghannam's error led to Saviour Godwin giving Al-Akhdoud the lead in the sixth minute following his clinical finish. However, Sadio Mane found the back of the net in the 29th minute to level the scores.

Cristiano Ronaldo brilliantly dispatched his penalty, finding the top-right corner in the 42nd minute. Al-Nassr had numerous chances to kill the game off in the second half, however, Ghareeb was unable to make the most of his chances. Fortunately for them, Mane's 88th-minute bullet header ensured they secured all three points.

Ghareeb was handed a start down the left wing but was guilty of being wasteful during his 90 minutes on the pitch. The 27-year-old landed zero shots on target from two attempts, lost 10 duels, and delivered two accurate crosses from an attempted six (33 percent accuracy).

One Al-Nassr fan reacted by posting:

"Ghareeb Hall of shame performance"

They also tweeted:

"Ghareeb Terrible Terrible player"

Other fans reacted below:

"We need a replacement for Ghareeb this winter," one fan insisted
"I hate this ghareeb guy," another added
"Get this MF ghareeb out of the club," one fan requested
"Who made this Ghareeb dude a winger bro? Doesn’t have speed, can’t cross, can’t pass and can’t shoot," another chimed in
