Mikel Arteta told to ‘get rid’ of one Arsenal player after ‘terrible’ performance vs Newcastle in the Carabao Cup

Arsenal crashed out of the Carabao Cup after their 2-0 defeat in the second leg of the semi-final.

❀The Gunners went into the game at St James’ Park with all the confidence in the world. Yes, they were 2-0 down from the first leg, but they must have been up for the game after battering Manchester City 5-1.

However, Arsenal𝓀 looked tired from the start on Wednesday night, and Eddie Howe’s tactics got the better of Mikel Arteta.

Newcastle⛦ completely deserved the win, and a few Arsenal players have come under criticism since.

Jason Cundy slams Kai Havertz after Arsenal lose to Newcastle

Kai Havertz⛎ started up front for Arsenal against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.

The Germany international is the closest thing the Gunners have to a striker right now. Following Gabriel Jesus’ injury🔯 and the board’s decision to not bring in a new number nine, Arteta has no choice stick with him.

ꦯHavertz, as he always does, worked tirelessly all game on Wednesday night, but he didn’t come close to threatening Newcastle at any stage of the game.

Jason Cundy🐼, who watched a lot of Havertz during his time at Chelsea, was not happy with the Arsenal number 29’s performance.

🃏The pundit, who has come under fire for his recent comments on Myles Lewis-Skelly, feels Arsenal should replace the German as soon as possible.

♎He said on talkSPORT: “Havertz, if ever there is a game Arsenal fans want to go and show the board and say ‘this is why we need a striker’, today is it.

“Havertz, he just walks around up there at times. That’s the Havertz we saw at Chelsea💎. He throws in these performances every now and then – he’ll throw in a couple of brilliant ones and get goals – but let me tell you now, that Havertz there, they need to get rid of that Havertz, that performance in Havertz.

“I thought he was terrible today, absolutely.”

Kai Havertz is not to blame but Arsenal’s problem vs Newcastle was clear

In the game against Manchester City🔯, Havertz missed an absolute sitter in the first half. That was terrible, but he did manage to get a goal later in the game.

✱At St James’ Park, however, he barely had a chance against Newcastle, so the blame lies on the creative players around him.

𒁃Havertz shouldn’t be blamed, but Arsenal’s problem revolves around his position.

🌱Alexander Isak showed Arsenal what they were missing𝓀 with a truly magnificent centre-forward display. If he played for Arteta, the Gunners would’ve probably won the game on Wednesday night.

🌺Stan and Josh Kroenke have to splash the cash to bring Isak to Arsenal in the summer.
