The curse of the League Cup continues

Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show

Amy Lawrence and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday


The panel reflect on the issues which resulted in a poor second half display, the knock on effects of missing key players through injury, whether the sentimental decision to choose Kepa over Raya was a mistake, the majority of Arsenal’s players underperforming, Saka’s drop off in form and the errors that lead to the goals conceded. 


Plus, they discuss how the team can learn from this loss and find the courage to be more assertive in big games, before looking ahead to the opportunities the international break presents for Arteta, the Arsenal players and the fans.
