Jamie Carragher calls for goalkeeper ban after Arsenal's Carabao Cup exit

Jamie Carragher has criticized Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya for a costly mistake during the Gunners' 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup semi-final, which resulted in a 4-0 aggregate defeat. Raya's decision to pass to Declan Rice under pressure led to Anthony Gordon's goal, prompting Carragher to call for a ban on such risky passes from goalkeepers. The defeat highlighted Arsenal's defensive frailties, with Gary Neville also pointing out the struggles of defenders Gabriel and Saliba against Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Manager Mikel Arteta acknowledged the team's lack of sharpness and efficiency in critical moments, contributing to their trophyless season. Despite the setback, Arsenal remains focused on their Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns. Newcastle will advance to the final to face either Liverpool or Tottenham.
