“I thought tactically, Arsenal was a mess, so poor,” he said.

“What I couldn’t believe and what was so frustrating to watch was that this has happened so often in Mourinho’s coaching career. Even if you had only seen Tottenham this season, you would know what they were going to try to do.

“It’s almost as if this Arsenal team and Mikel Arteta had been transported to this game from the moon and didn’t know who Mourinho was and had never seen Tottenham play.

«I was stunned. What I saw and some of the things I heard after the game, I thought were very poor.

Carragher also called Arteta “naive” considering that the Spurs absorbed the pressure before killing Arsenal against them, tactics the Gunners coach used to perfection when he saw Manchester City and Chelsea on their way to the glory of the FA Cup last season.

“The big frustration for me is that I loved Arteta when he first came in, and I still love him, because he was in big games last season and when he faced teams much better than him, he altered his idea,” Carragher said. additional.

«He is from Barcelona, ​​he has worked with [Pep] Guardiola. We know what your idea is. But it changed that sometimes last season.

«Against Liverpool they won 2-1 last season. They had three shots, faced 24, possession was 31 percent, but they win the game. Tactically fantastic for me.

«If I asked someone in this country who is the manager of the team that obtained those results [against Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United] It was, you would say José Mourinho.

What I can’t believe is why Arsenal didn’t do that on Sunday. They are playing Tottenham, who are the best in the league, when they are 14, away from home in a derby.

They are better than you. Go there and do the same. Do a Mourinho job with him. You can still lose the game, that can happen, but don’t be so naive to play that way.
