And former Gunners midfielder Frimpong has criticised Wenger's team selection for the game, claiming Ramsey was wasted on the wing.
“If you want the best from Ramsey play him in central areas or don't play him,” Frimpong wrote on Twitter.
The Wales international was played on the left wing but looked out of sorts and was easily marshalled by Antonio Valencia all game.
It was only Ramsey's second Premier League start of the season, having been ruled out with a hamstring injury prior.
