Jamie Carragher has criticised Arsenal trio Aaron Ramsdale, Gabriel Magalhaes and Rob Holding for their displays against Manchester City.
The biggest game of the season is on this evening as Arsenal travel to take on Manchester City.
City started the night five points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
This felt like a title decider and Arsenal barely had time to settle down before being 1-0 down.
Erling Haaland’s layoff found Kevin De Bruyne, who drove forward from midfield and planted a right-footed strike beyond Aaron Ramsdale.
Could Rob Holding have done better defending the pass into Haaland?
Could Gabriel have done more to stop De Bruyne’s driving run?
Maybe on both counts, but Jamie Carragher felt it was actually Ramsdale who let himself down a little.

De Bruyne’s finish wasn’t exactly an absolute piledriver.
The Belgian midfielder passed the ball into the net from outside the box, finding the near post.
Ramsdale won’t exactly be proud of himself for leaving his near post so open and Carragher wasn’t impressed.
The Sky Sports pundit took to Twitter to claim that it was ‘very poor’ goalkeeping from Ramsdale as City took a 1-0 lead.

Carragher didn’t just focus on Ramsdale though.
The ex-Liverpool defender also suggested that Arsenal centre backs Holding and Gabriel looked ‘terrified’ up against Erling Haaland.
Haaland and De Bruyne enjoyed so much freedom in the first half and attacked the centre of Arsenal’s team again and again.
Haaland had a number of chances to score and it’s almost a surprise that he didn’t take any of them.
Carragher did note that he would be terrified against Haaland too but this battle could be a real problem for Arsenal.
