Mikel Arteta says Arsenal can still win semi-final if they adapt to ‘tricky’ Carabao Cup ball

New York Times  

Mikel Arteta lamented Arsenal’s inefficiency in front of goal compared to Newcastle and Alexander Isak, but backed his players to turn around the 2-0 Carabao Cup deficit – so long as they adapt to the “tricky” ball being used in the competition. The away side on the other hand were much more ruthless in front of goal, with strikes from Isak and Anthony Gordon giving Newcastle a 2-0 advantage ahead of the Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg on February 5. “If you look at what both teams produced and the dominance it’s not the result that reflects the story of the game,” Arteta said. They spurned several big chances against Newcastle with Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Gabriel Martinelli all guilty of missing the target from close range and Arteta was asked how they put those moments out of their mind when they travel to St James’ Park next month for the second-leg.
