"Arteta stuck with Cup keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in the Carabao Cup final but he made a blunder to let in the opening goal against their rivals."
"Just because he made a mistake, they're all going on about it. I was listening to Ally McCoist. I thought better of Ally, who has been a manager at Rangers for all those years."
"Shut your mouth, Ally and all you lot. He's done it all the way through and got them to the final. Yeah, he made a mistake, but who's to say that if you had put your number one goalie in, he wouldn't have made the mistake?"
Mikel Arteta decided to start Kepa Arrizabalaga instead of first-choice keeper David Raya in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City. Kepa's blunder allowed City to score the opening goal, prompting criticism from former players like Ally McCoist. Despite the backlash, some, including Ray Parlour, supported Arteta's decision. Ex-England manager Sam Allardyce defended Arteta, arguing that mistakes can happen regardless of the goalkeeper chosen and criticized McCoist's comments about the decision.
