Arsenal ready to go “full gas” against Newcastle

Arsenal’s weaknesses within the time-region were naked during the first meeting between these two sides as they lost 2-0 to the Emirates in January.

Gunners’ sporadic approach in front of their target failed with only three of their 23 shots at the target, while Alexander Isak presented his clinical edge by taking out the opener shortly before the break.

Although Magpies now have control of the tie, after Anthony Gordon added a second, Arteta is sure that his side can overturn the deficit by going “full gas” in the evening.

He said: “When you compare the emotional state of the group, the way of defeat and how it happened, it’s different now.

“We had some big wins. Especially the last against Man City. After this game we have a break, it’s full gas. We’ll get the best to be in the final.

“It’s difficult games. We hit them at home quite convincingly last season, but the two games this season were very different.”

Howe frustrated by Newcastle’s window

Arteta is not the only manager who has been frustrated by the transport window.

Howe has only managed to pass about £ 45m for income from the beginning of this season, with one of them, Lloyd Kelly, who is already leaving the club for financial reasons to join Juventus.

The sale of Kelly’s £ 20 million to Serie A Giants means that the club has restored about £ 100m sales during the season – but is left with a deep depth.

“I was disappointed yesterday (Monday)?” No, “Howe said.” That was a long time in production, the window was over how we expected it.

“Different feelings to me, overall there is an element of frustration that we have not taken the team forward in a positive way. This is the goal and ambition of everyone.

“But not yesterday in the day.
