Newcastle had a good defense and a super goalie which made it very difficult for Arsenal to find the back of the net despite their endless effort. Losing at home is not what I expected from Arsenal. However, Newcastle did great by taking advantage of their chances in the first and second half when it came. Isak is in form and is becoming more dangerous everyday.

Many Arsenal attacks were thwarted by Newcastle players in the match even though Arsenal were able to control the ball well, but every shot fired by Arsenal players did not produce any results in the match. Meanwhile, Newcastle players were able to make quite dangerous counter-attacks especially through Alexander Isak and also through Anthony Gordon in the second half so that it made Arsenal players frustrated and unable to respond until the end of the match.

Of course, Arsenal's team had an incredible result, because Arsenal was very strong this season, but I never imagined that they would lose to Newcastle. Many bettors lost in this match because Newcastle did not perform well from the beginning, but they were able to score two goals. Arsenal made a total of 23 attacks in this match, but none of them resulted in a good result, which is the biggest failure for Arsenal, but Newcastle only made 7 attacks and succeeded in two attacks. However, Arsenal fans will never forgive them in this match, because most of the bettors believed in Arsenal in this match.

Whenever Arsenal and Newcastle meet recently, it is always an easy game, and it is always clear that anything can happen in the match. So, I was not surprised that Newcastle won the game. That was even what I was expecting because Arsenal's best playmaker, Saka, was not there. Saka cannot do everything, but if he was there, we would have had more pressure on Newcastle from the beginning of the first half.

Currently, I don't think Arsenal has a great winger like Saka who can create good chances unless Saka is back again. Let’s just look at what Trossard was playing yesterday he was playing nothing! That is what also happened in the Brighton match that Arsenal drew 1-1. Again, with Saka recently not on the pitch, even Odegaard is not performing like he does when Saka is present.With the results Arsenal is currently getting, fans are not happy. If Arteta does not win any trophy this season, he may start experiencing the fans' anger.

Arsenal keeps making people believe that they can't do better if there are a few absent players in their team. When it comes to beating Newcastle, I won't say that Arsenal are consistent and when you look at how they played yesterday, it was as if in front of goal, they were afraid. Imagine making runs and getting to the 18 yard box, you waste it. The Gunners would need to improve in so many areas if they want to be carrying trophies cause it's not this kind of behavior that wins titles.

People who very familiar with Arsenal would not truly believe they're gonna win trophy this season. It reminds me with them last season, when they're performing well, but no trophy for them.

Seeing Arteta made another excuses is still unacceptable. Yeah, they're often hit the bar and what's next? Trust me, every season is going to be like that and will never change.

I'm also mentioning what Evra said on Rio Ferdinand's podcast. He said "watching Arsenal is the same as watching netflix, you always wait for the next season"

My prediction yesterday was Newcastle to win, because I’ve watched Arsenal in previous games and I know they aren’t in the best form of there life’s. Newcastle on there own are in the best form of there life as well Newcastle is probably the best team in the league right now, Arteta should have a better tactics to approach teams like Newcastle who’ll press you from the start to finish but he didn’t have a good game plans. He should stop having excuses and deliver a trophy for the team he might face a sack if he continues this way. Arteta reminds me of Mourinho antics whenever he looses a game he should focus on making his team press and attack more instead of playing defense and allow teams to run your fullbacks, having a complain about a match ball sounds ridiculous from him. He has been using the match day ball since from 3rd rounds, because he lost a game the ball is now the reason he lost. That is one of the most frustrating things I’ve heard from a manager

Making 23 attacks that resulted to no goal is worst performance. The people that were able to convert their few chances into goals did far better. Truth be told both Arsenal and Newcastle were in good forms lately. And since it was a cup match, it was a bit difficult to predict who was going to win this match. Many gamblers who picked Arsenal to win did so because Arsenal were playing at home. They didn't do that because they thought that Arsenal was in a better form than Newcastle.

To me Newcastle has been in better form than Arsenal for the past one month, but it was still difficult to give them straight winning. There was no way I would have given any of them a straight win. What I did was to give Arsenal a chance to score since they were at home. I never imagined they will shoot blank and Newcastle won't allow them score a single goal. Seeing Mikel Arteta complaining about the football they used for the match as an excuse why they lost made me shed tears.

I said Newcastle was going to win Yesterday because Arsenal haven’t impressed in recent games and Newcastle is in the form of their life’s and I feel Newcastle is the most inform team in the Premier League now winning 7 out of 7 games. And if you watched the match yesterday it feels like Arteta had no good game plans he always relies on his defense, and there was no way that defense was going to hold Isak who is in the best form of his life right now, Newcastle played like a team who knows what they are doing Arsenal had no focus on the game the midfield was lost, Tonali played odegard out of the midfield with his energy and hunger to 1v1 tackles and duels won in the midfield.

Arsenal haven't been successful in the EFL Cup for years and now they are close to saying goodbye before reaching the finale once again. By the way tonight there is a Tottenham - Liverpool game too. I expect Liverpool to destroy them like they did in the Premier League.

It seems that Arsenal has been cursed since the beginning, they are not supposed to win trophies, and I do not believe they will win any in the near future. Last season they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup against West Ham in the round of 16, and they lost the first leg at home to Newcastle this season. They could have scored more goals at home, but they lost. We're not sure if they'll make it in the second leg at St. James Park since Newcastle has hardly lost at home, it'll be a difficult game for Arsenal to win.

It's really bad that Tottenham Spurs will suffer another defeat today, they'll be facing mighty Liverpool, who aren't taking any opponents lightly this season. Liverpool destroyed them the last time they met in the Premier League, and we expect a similar result tonight. Tottenham Spurs lack the strength to stand up to Liverpool's pressure in this match. So we are expecting Liverpool to face either Arsenal or Newcastle in the final.

No one expected Arsenal to lost 0 - 2 to Newcastle at home and this defeat could be bad start because in the second leg Arsenal will have to play away and at least have to win by more than 3 goal to be able to enter the final absolutely.

Seeing the match against Arsenal and Newcastle United I just had this feeling that Newcastle United was going to surprise us in this tie. Arsenal games have not been convincing in recent games since the absence of Saka and their attack is really not as dangerous as it used to be. Newcastle are good in playing strong matches like this and they are good in winning games like this, with the nature of their defense I doubt if Arsenal can go away and turn the scoreline around by leading with at least 3goals up. It’s almost impossible against Newcastle United.

Quote from: len01 on January 08, 2025, 02:02:31 AM

70% of most football fans expect Arsenal to win, but 30% of most bettors already have the idea that Newcastle can win. Even I bet on Newcastle without hesitation. And I have also said here that Newcastle can hold or even beat Arsenal.

Newcastle have been in form lately and the way they play I just suspected that they could win but I didn’t have the confidence to bet on them so I went for a draw because I didn’t have confidence in Arsenal to win also. Newcastle should not be underestimated by saying Arsenal can beat them 3-4 goals up in the second leg.

if you have been following the Newcastle games recently, you cant just predict that arsenal will get an easy victory against them considering the way they have been really strong and the goal scoring form isak has been on, having incredible game is not what matters at this stage of the carabao cup, you need to get the victory and so far, arsenal ran short of it and gave it all to Newcastle.

this is the kind of result i love to see because it always sends a signal that there is no sitting on the fence and that there is no team that doesn't see the possibility of winning titles. arsenal proving yet again that they are not ready to win titles but only gets close to it and give it out tp others while they sit back saying that if that had done this or that something different would have changed about the result. it is the end of the journey for arsenal.

Arsenal lost at home with an aggregate of 2 goals. There is still one more match, the second leg at St. James Park to determine which of them will advance to the final round.
Arsenal's two-goal defeat in the first leg gave rise to various speculations from us by assessing what their game was like that could happen like that. Meanwhile, we must not forget that Arsenal still has a chance even though it is difficult.

Another match that will take place later is Tottenham vs Liverpool. I hope my favorite team Liverpool does not experience the same fate as Arsenal.
The EFL Cup is an important competition that Liverpool must focus on because Liverpool's steps have reached the semifinals. I mean there is only one step left.

For the Arsenal fans, i saw this today;

21 Years without a title
33 Years without a Carabao Cup
0 UCL
0 Super Cup
0 Club World Cup
Never defended any prem title.

This is a very bad record for a club who has a humble and passionate fans. Is the club really ready to win any title because i don't think so. Newcastle beat them on their home yesterday and knowing full well that they are in the lesser side to win the EPL. It was a moment for them to win at least the Carabao cup after so many years.

The management is poor and it is obvious now.

Sad part was that they had more chances on goal than Newcastle. Last night's game was pure evidence that it's not how many chances you get but how well you can utilize the ones you have. Arsenal kept pressing but when it came to doing the needful, they could not be trusted.

You summed it all. Newscatle United won because they took their chances. Aside the few absentees like Saka, Arteta used his first team players and still they couldn't get pass Newcastle defence. The Magpies were solid defensively and they deserved the winning. In few weeks, the gunners will be visiting St James Park for the return leg. I just hope they will be able to right their wrongs this time and secure a ticket to Wembley, but of course it's not going to be easy.

I thought that since it was a cup match, teams with mostly reserve players would take the field, but both teams took the field with their main squads.
I was expecting a goal-scoring match, but it ended 0-2. I even thought Arsenal would win, but that didn't happen either.
As you said, Newcastle's goalkeeper and forward were the better side. I don't know about the goalkeeper, but if Isak continues this performance, he will find a place on the transfer list of bigger teams next year.
Newcastle got good results from the player they transferred for a record fee in 2022, and he also developed himself better.

I don't think it will be wise for a coach to use reserve players in such a high intensity and profile match like this despite its a cup game. Both teams are fighting for a place in the finals and besides they are both EPL top teams. Yes, i also thought that Arsenal will win the match considering the fact that Newcastle has never scored against Arsenal in the Carabao cup in the Emirates stadium, but this is football were past records doesn't even matter much.

Even while the score was 0-0, they found significant chances. Especially Martinelli's shot hitting the goal post could have changed the fate of the game...

I can feel the pain the people who made a bet on BTTS felt during the game. Arsenal found many more chances than Newcastle but they were just not on one of their good days.

People are over confident to bet on Arsenal, while they forgot Newcastle is regaining their form back again. The corner FC seems struggle again after they lose two goals. All goals have Isaak in its goal involvement. Their tactic is not working properly in this game. They gave newcastle huge space in the mid, no doubt they lost it. I wonder how long they feel boring to always become trophyless.

Let's see if they will be able to come back when they play the second leg. As it is, with the absence of Saka, teams no longer regard them, it's as if they are empty without the left winger.

This one wasn’t so surprising was it? Both teams are EPL teams and they both are fight for the EPL trophy as it is, having good form and I like to consider Newcastle United to be more in form at the moment than Arsenal. Isak, Gordon and Murphy are on fire for the team and Arsenal is just adjusting to use what they’ve got in the absence of their fire power in Saka to work the wings and cross that ball in. G. Jesus has just been filling up the gap as we know it but, his not fit in them shoes as expected quite well.
Havertz ought to have scored the last attempt he got, a clean header could have given the goalkeeper no chance but, it came off his shoulders.

Technically both of the teams are in good form, but this match played in Emirates Stadium and Arsenal dominated the match, the results ended Arsenal without score is really surprising. At least Arsenal should able to score one goal, but Martin Dubravka is too good.

It will be hard for Arsenal to play in the next game since they will play away, Arsenal should bench Odegaard, this guy is no more like in the past, Mikel Merino is better than him now.

Newcastle had a good defense and a super goalie which made it very difficult for Arsenal to find the back of the net despite their endless effort. Losing at home is not what I expected from Arsenal. However, Newcastle did great by taking advantage of their chances in the first and second half when it came. Isak is in form and is becoming more dangerous everyday.

Advantage Newcastle, it ended 0-2 in favour of the visitors. Arsenal played well but couldn't create chances for themselves to score, this match proves once again that you can play good and still lose when you don't create chances and make good use of them. Newcastle are one foot into the Carabao finals as we await the second leg in a week or two weeks time.

It was a very disappointing result for the Gunners, who failed to take advantage of their scoring opportunities. Arsenal controlled the match in terms of ball possession and total shots, yet they failed to score a single goal. If it hadn't been a home loss, we might have suggested Newcastle took advantage of playing at home to win the game, but Arsenal couldn't stop disappointing their supporters this season, conceding two goals while scoring none. Isak is insane; he made many chances that resulted in Newcastle's victory, which is what the team needs from number nine. I hope Arsenal can make a comeback in the second leg, since Newcastle ahead by two goals.

However, this is the same team that defeated Manchester United in the Premier League last week, and many people were claiming that Manchester United was weak because they failed to draw at home. The same team that is competing for the league title, Arsenal, couldn't defeat Newcastle in the Carabao yesterday, so I'm sure Newcastle can defeat Arsenal if they play each other in the Premier League. Since Saka is absent, I honestly don't think Arsenal is a strong team without him.
