Arsenal: The same old problems for Mikel Arteta rifles “toothless” while trophy hunting lasts | Football news
Arsenal’s lack of a top edge was exposed once more as they left the cup of carabao whisper as Gary Neville called them “toothless” in the attack.
Newcastle reached the finals of Carabao Cup after the semi-final victory 2-0 of the other legs over Arsenal contributed to the total 4-0 victory.
GUNNERS – who have been criticized for not signing the attacker in January in January a portable window – created only 0.94 expected goals in a game where they were supposed to win with two or more goals to hold their home trophy hopes this season, which is already It was already eliminated from the FA Cup.
Arsenal’s only main trophy under Mikel Arteta remains 2020 FA Cup. They were eliminated with the next 13 customers in which they entered, not including this year’s Champions League, and have not yet reached another final under the Spaniard.
Usually, the dominant pair of Gabriel and William Saliba failed to contain Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who already had a goal excluded when his goal dropped out of place and allowed Jacob Murphy to open scorings.
Neville, on a conflict for duty for Sky Sports, He said the performance of Isaac pointed out that the dark arsenal was compared to the front areas.
He said, “This showed a huge light on the tooth without any Arsenal players compared to what we see at the other end of the field.”
When asked if they needed to strengthen in the summer, he said, “It’s given.
“I supported them not to panic in the window, finding a player they want, I understand.
“But when the offer went to Ollie Watkins, they send a message to the rest of the team, they are not good enough in advance … This game confirms it.”
Arteta: To win trophies, you have to be effective in boxes
Mikel Arteta speaks at his press conference:
“We had so many expectations to reverse this, but we didn’t get any momentum even though we had a few big moments in the first half. We didn’t take advantage of the next action they achieved. The game moved then. Then we had to stay great to get a goal, but we didn’t They succeeded.
“When you want to win trophies, you have to be effective in boxes. We played two games against them and we didn’t [been effective]. All in all, that was the main difference. Today we were a little messy when the game became more chaotic, we are usually assembled, but we missed little.
“We knew it would be a high intensity and it was emotionally a different game to believe that we could get there. Even before we expected the game she fled us.
“We have to swallow this – that’s hard. We expected a lot. We can’t do anything now – we had to do it on the field. Now we have to look forward to. It’s painful. We are painful. We have to recharge in Dubai because we have to play a lot.
“Mistakes are part of football, but we are usually super consistent and assembled, but today we gave them hope. We allowed them to run and we were vulnerable – they are a dangerous team when they could do it.”
Analysis: Havertz is in the pocket of Newcastle defenders
Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones:
This was a night to celebrate Newcastle, but you can’t neglect how bad Arsenal was in the attack. Toothless. Oh, toothless.
Kai Havertz offered a little with her posture and was crowded. He registered only one shot in the game, did not create any chance and his precision of passing in the last third of 37.5 percent, stressed that Newcastle Backline had his pocket. In the meantime, he did not give wide players to the work of any magic. Again, the domestic team has earned merit for this, but this is not the first time that Arsenal has lacked guilty and inspiration from the Open Play this season.
Since the placed piece was canceled by Newcastle’s defense organization, Arsenal did not offer a serious threat to the large parts – as their expected goals suggest 0.94. It was tame. And there were not many opportunities to get rid of the bench.
It was the same old story.
Redknapp: Which Arsenal players can hurt you?
Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp:
“This can show you how football can change: one minute you beat Manchester City and then completely humiliate you Newcastle. Over two Newcastle games were better side, they were tactically better and slightly terrifying and street. ‘
“Apart from the great chance of Odegaard, who else was supposed to do something? Who will open the door or create magic? What they lack is a ran -free pace without a Bukayo Saka. If you play against Arsenal now, you happy let them find him on their feet because they won’t run to them.
