The Carabao Cup final was Arsenal's first chance to win a major trophy for six years. "They have to not let the season run away from them," former Arsenal and Southampton forward Theo Walcott told BBC Sport. I'm not going to criticise them because we lost a game here in the manner that they tried," Arteta said. I'm going to defend them more than ever. "Giving them [the players] clarity, giving more conviction, trusting our players, believing in what we are doing," Arteta said.
