“I don’t want to sound unprofessional but I’m sick of him at this point. He’s not adding any value to this team”- Arsenal star Thomas Partey angrily puts blame on One of his teammate as Newcastle go above to win the title – Not Kai Havertz and Not Trossard

Jamie Carragher tore into Arsenal’s David Raya after claiming goalkeepers should be banned from playing risky passes into midfielders – following his costly mistake against Newcastle.
Arsenal were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle after a 4-0 aggregate defeat at the semi-finals to miss out on a date at Wembley, with the Gunners well off the pace at St James’ Park
Newcastle went into this game with a 2-0 lead from the first leg and fans might have been nervous that Arsenal could cancel out their advantage.
But the Magpies quickly took control of the game as they took a first-half lead through Jacob Murphy following great work from Alexander Isak.
Newcastle kept pushing for the next goal despite protecting their lead as Arsenal continued to look nervy at the back, and that shakiness was evident as Raya was at fault for their second goal.
Raya was look to start play from the back but opted to pass straight to Declan Rice, who had Newcastle players pressing high and breathing down his neck.
Rice was caught in possession by the relentless Fabian Schar, whose tackle left Anthony Gordon with the simple task of slotting home.
Carragher slammed Raya’s decision-making after the game as he tweeted: “Keepers need to be banned from playing those passes into midfield players.”
It wasn’t just Raya whose performances came under the microscope as Gary Neville tore into centre-backs Gabriel and William Saliba for being left “on toast” by Alexander Isak.
After seeing Isak terrorise the defensive duo to inspire Newcastle’s opening goal, he said on commentary: “It’s all about Isak. He is messing the Arsenal centre backs about.
