Live bar On January 14, in the first leg of the Premier League Cup semi-finals, Arsenal drew 0-0 away to Liverpool. Gunners Xhaka left the field in red 24 minutes, and Carragher, who was at Sky Sports Studio, gave his own opinion.
Carragher said at half-time: "Xhaka did what Xhaka would do again, and when Jota hadn't handled the ball he made a ridiculous foul. In terms of the way and strength with which he put the shovel, this is undoubtedly a red card. ”
After the game, Carragher added: "From an outside perspective, every manager chooses to let Xhaka play, so I think he must have an advantage in terms of leadership, training and personality. ”
"He's a fantastic player, we can see his shining point in the Swiss national team and at Arsenal, but as far as tonight's game goes, he does become a burden on the team. We can say Arsenal played too well tonight, but normally, if the away team has only 10 men left at Anfield, you will not only lose, you will also be eliminated miserably. ”
'In a situation like this, Liverpool should have won 2-0 or 3-0, and a big part of that is due to Arsenal having just 10 men left, which happens too often.
"Look back at how well Arsenal did to Manchester City, but in the end the game was ruined and Xhaka made that 'contribution' (sending a penalty that was equalized). This situation is as frequent as it is today, and he is not the kind of young lad you look like you will learn a lesson. Instead, he's one of the most experienced players, and that's what prevents Arsenal from taking the next step. ”
"I've been very impressed with how Arteta and this group of young players have performed this season, but the experienced players in the squad have failed these youngsters. Usually the situation should be reversed, which is a big problem for Arsenal's progress. It's impossible to change now because this is a player who has played about 250 games for Arsenal and this is the player they have to improve. ”
