It’s not the first time the 27-year-old’s defending has come under scrutiny – and Carragher says the horror show was hardly surprising.“I wasnt surprised by this,” he told Sky Sports.“Hes been a mess since he joined the club really and this is another example of it. “Hes at fault for the second goal as well.“[Unai] Emery made changes and I can totally understand it. Something has to give in the squad. In terms of the firepower in the team you still expected them to win.“I think its a massive blow for Arsenals top-four chances.”
