Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called on goalkeepers to be banned for what they did in Arsenal’s defeat of Newcastle United yesterday.
The Gunners lost 2-0 at St James’ Park, leaving Eddie Howe 4-0 in this Carabao Cup semi-final.
Newcastle will now head to Wembley to play in the final with Liverpool or Tottenham, and few would object to this a fair outcome.

Hipies is the superior aspect on both legs, and Rea contributed to that one-sided overall score line through a mess of a pass against him last night.
The Spanish shooter is usually the best performance for Mikel Arteta’s team, but he puts teammates under pressure before Anthony Gordon scored his second goal yesterday.
Jamie Carragher aims at Arsenal’s David Raya

The Guardians need to forbid these passes into the midfielder.

Experts may not be totally serious here, but it is a strong and provocative statement we are used to in the modern era and other analysts.
There is no doubt that Raya should have done better here, he let Arsenal fall in the big moments, but needless to say, he actually has no prospects, nor does he have.
The former Brentford goalkeeper has been primarily a reliable performer since joining Arsenal, and fans will surely forgive him for this rare mistake.
Overall, it’s a disappointing Carabao Cup exit for Arsenal, but they’ll feel like there’s still something to do in the Premier League and Champions League this season.
Just a few days ago silverware.
