We saw a surprise in the EFL Cup semi-final match and it was very interesting and exciting. Arsenal lost the match and they are very likely to be eliminated from the semi-finals. Newcastle played strongly and with excitement which resulted in them achieving a good result to qualify for the final. Newcastle are two goals ahead in the first leg of the semi-final, of course they will be even stronger against Arsenal in the second leg to qualify for the final. I think Arsenal may not be able to score as many goals in the second leg so their chances of going to the final are also very low.
I was not surprised by yesterday's match between Arsenal and Newcastle, I knew that Newcastle was going to defeat Arsenal, and immediately after I saw Arsenal like up and the players that started the match I believed that Newcastle could defeat Arsenal, in the match Arsenal only have one big chance and it was the chance that Martinelli miss, Newcastle create chances than Arsenal in the match and that will show you that Newcastle can defeat Arsenal, Arsenal depend on a set piece and corner kick that they use to score goals but Newcastle show Arsenal that they are good in defend.
Arteta is the one to also blame because he is supposed to start the match with a proper striker, Kai Havatz is not a striker and if we look at the game we will know that Arsenal needs a striker that will put pressure on Newcastle's defenders, Gabriel Jesus suppose to start the match yesterday as a striker but Arteta choose Havatz, Havatz miss a good chance that will make Arsenal equalize and Arteta still decide to let him continue playing, Arsenal need to warn Arteta about his job as a coach because the team invests much and they buy players that he needs and still he can't win them any trophy.
