Carragher says Arsenal's problem in both boxes, Neville calls for reinforcements

Jamie Carragher believes Arsenal lack the necessary quality in both boxes to seriously challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title this season, with Gary Neville claiming Mikel Arteta must address the lack of firepower in January.

Anthony Gordon's controversial second-half winner clinched Newcastle a 1-0 win against Arsenal, whose unbeaten Premier League start was halted at St James' Park.

Gordon's close-range finish was confirmed as a goal after a triple VAR check and was all that separated the two sides in a game of few chances.

The Gunners slipped to their first defeat in 11 league games this season, while victory for Newcastle was affirmation that they can continue to mix it with the big guns.

"I feel like I'm watching a different team", Carragher told Sky Sports. "They're more solid defensively, but they're not as fluid and they're creating as many chances.

"Have Arsenal got a centre-forward and a goalkeeper who can win you the league? I don't think they have. When you think of vital positions where teams win leagues, it's in both boxes.

"It wasn't a mistake as such to replace Aaron Ramsdale, as Ramsdale wasn't going to win you the league. But the guy he's chosen right now to come in is absolutely all over the place.

"I think bringing in Declan Rice has improved them but they've not moved the dial with the goalkeeper. They don't seem as fluid, and it's not just about the players they've brought in.

"The ones who were playing out of their skin last season are not quite firing this season."

The spotlight is again on David Raya following a spate of high-profile errors in recent weeks. The Spaniard was jittery in the first half of Arsenal's victory over Manchester City before he was at fault for one of Chelsea's goals
