pep don't even feel bothered during the restart, he feel relax and do as if he don't need this cup.. Have said it countless time arsenal were lucky to be top of the EPL table due to so much injury to some clubs during the first half of the season.... They should also stop buying players from Chelsea, those players are like a spy.

It's really a fact that, Pep Guardiola hasn't lost a Final Match in Wembley. Arsenal was pretty mesmerized and well beaten.

Congratulations to the Citizens as another trophyless season looms for the Gunners!

3 more trophies to bottle by Assnal.

🔴⚪ We Lost. And I'm Not Pretending Otherwise.

Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City. Carabao Cup Final. Wembley.

Let me be real with you today because the emotional posts can wait. The "we'll be back" posts can wait. Right now we need to talk about what actually happened.

Arteta cost us this game.

I'll say it clearly and without apology. You do not go into a Wembley cup final against Manchester City with a weakened XI because of sentiment. You do not start Kepa Arrizabalaga in the biggest game of the season because fans fell in love with the story of him being the "cup goalkeeper." Football doesn't care about stories. Football cares about quality. And on the night, we paid the price.

Two goals. Both from Kepa mistakes. Both gifted directly to Nico O'Reilly like free presents on Christmas morning. That is not bad luck. That is a selection error that Arteta has to own completely.

Gyökeres. Mehn. I've been saying it for months and tonight confirmed everything. The big moments come and he disappears. Wembley. Cup final. Man City. This is exactly the stage where you find out who a player really is — and we found out.

Kai Havertz missed a sitter that could have changed the entire match. Could have had us 1-0 up. Could have flipped the pressure. Instead it stayed 0-0, City grew in confidence, and Kepa handed them the game on a plate.

Zubimendi — who I rate highly — was poor. He couldn't deal with O'Reilly's movement for the first goal. Didn't track the run. Didn't communicate. On another night that's forgivable. Today it was fatal.

But let's not scatter the blame so wide that we miss the main point.

Arteta picked Kepa. That's it. That's the post.

Every Arsenal fan who screamed and pushed for Kepa to start because "he deserves it" and "he kept us here" — I understand the love. I really do. But sentiment has no place in a cup final team sheet. Raya is our goalkeeper. Raya should have started. Full stop. Non negotiable.

We will bounce back. The league is still there. The Champions League is still there. This squad is still the best in England on current form.

But today we have to sit in this and be honest about what went wrong. That's how you get better. That's what separates a club with real culture from one that just makes excuses.

Arteta is a genius. He's also human. Today he got it wrong.

COYG. Always. 🔴⚪

But City started Trafford over Donnarumma

Who cares about EFL!

Arsenal's solely goal this season is to clinch this season Epl trophy.

Just patiently wait and watch the 2nd leg of arsenal vs city in the premier league and you will wonder whether this was the arsenal that played today.
That day, city will be teared down like the wall of Jericho.

Perhaps, in cup final like today's own, anybody can win. Cup final don't cares about who is in form or not.
So una nor get d best defense for EPL again?? grin

Ok so, is city near Madrid standard?

Now arsenal beat Madrid silly, so is Madrid near arsenal standard?

But because arsenal lost in a cup final, suddenly they are not city standard?

Anyway when we lift the league, will you say arsenal standard is above city?

What's your opinion?

Bro e tire me o, Artera is an embrassement, I thought I was the only one noticing that.You are watching your team lose, whoch kind of coach is that, Arsenal better sack that guy, he has show he is useless in this game, no tactical input from the coach when the team is stumbling. Very pitiful for the fans.
One thing i notice about Arteta is that once he brings a formation nd it doesnt work ... He is lost, doesnt know what to do, he will wait till damage is done nd start fire brigade approach

So my prayer is that things work for us from the onset of the match
Re: Arsenal Vs Manchester City: EFL Cup Final (0 - 2) On 22nd March 2026 by callmetade: 10:17pm On Mar 22
Arteta messed this one up... And I strongly believe that even if this particular final was to be against a lower ranked team let's say wolves or Burnley, arsenal will Lose it just like they just did. Period
