Arsenal 0-2 Newcastle: Mikel Arteta says Carabao Cup footballs are 'tricky'

Mikel Arteta still believes Arsenal can reach the Carabao Cup final - but says they must first master the "tricky" football used in the competition.

I thought it rather ironic that he kept showing and pointing out his shiny new wristwatch to the referee last night.

They have just dug into the stats on this, on SSN.

Their % of shots that are on target this season is actually 53% with this ball v 52% in the PL.

For shots outside the box it was higher (35% v 28% or similar)

the man is a cock.

Didn't stop them scoring in the other 3 rounds, any excuse for Arteta.

Lego headed, moaning Bell end. Can't stand the bloke.

He has taken the mantle from Klopp as the biggest whinging moaner in the league. Things are falling apart for him.

One man team, then again aren’t they all in a way. Newcastle couldn’t win without Isak, Arsenal hopeless without Saka, Liverpool would suffer without Sala. We would have struggled to get anything out of the last two without Pedro.

Every time he opens his mouth it gets worse. What a twunt.

I watched part 2 of a Fergy documentary later and funnily enough he also appeared to have been extremely proud of a watch of his.

Perhaps it was a present from his wife?

We aren’t a one man team. I think we’d be top six (minimum) if Welbz hadn’t been injured and if Veltman & Milner had been around to help us secure wins against the likes Wolves and Leicester.

Added to that, players like Mitoma and Baleba, we really don’t rely on Pedro who is a level down from Welbeck as a No.9 but admittedly, our best No.10 (in the position Georginio was having a cracking run with Welbz in the team.)

If we are a one-man team, that one man is Welbeck, not Pedro

I saw this story on the BBC Sport website just after waking up and honestly thought “Jeez - I’m having a weird dream that that absolute pr1ck was now making pathetic excuses about the actual footballs that they play with. How funny. I really must curb my obsessive dislike of him if it’s seeping into my subconscious.”

 

[portlock seagull]

Got to be the most unlikeable manager in the game currently. Maybe it’s the pressure?

Indeed. We were 2nd in the Premier League when he got injured against Stains and haven’t won since.

My immediate thought was Mitoma. He’s the one opponents fear and double up on.

 

[brighton_tom]

The ball was the problem? The same ball that Newcastle were playing with & scoring with….

Next up, the goals are too small.

I think the PSI is the same. He's claiming "it flies differently".

Great demonstration that AI is not perfect. Head's nowhere near square enough.

Edit: For Arterta, not the lego ;-)

Results-wise, it clearly points to Welbeck IMO.

Pretty much everyone else has played a decent amount during our run of not winning games.
