Summary

Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to reflect on a devastating defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

Alexander Isak showed Arsenal what they're missing, as the Gunners failed to find the net in 23 attempts.

The panel discuss whether Mikel Arteta has enough clinical players at his disposal, and consider how he can get Arsenal firing again with the fixtures coming thick and fast.

Plus - questions around the atmosphere at the Emirates and a look ahead to Manchester United's visit in the FA Cup this weekend.

Produced by Jay Beale.
