Carragher slams Arsenal and Arteta: Possession stats mean nothing!

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has slammed Arsenal over their defeat to Tottenham.

Carragher, speaking on Monday Night Football, was damning in his assessment of Arsenal.

He said: "Arsenal did not play well. They were awful, defensively and on the ball, from minute one.

"This idea that because you've had possession, you've played well - I'm flabbergasted.

"They never had one chance in the game when they 'should have scored'.

"I thought tactially Arsenal were a shambles."

Carragher added: "It was almost as if this Arsenal team and Mikel Arteta had been transported into this game from the moon and they didn't know who Mourinho was.

"I was flabbergasted with what I watched and some of the things I head after the game, as they were so poor."
