Piers Morgan has told Mikel Arteta to stop making excuses after Arsenal’s Carabao Cup exit to Newcastle.

TV personality Piers Morgan has launched a scathing attack on Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, accusing him of making “ridiculous excuses” following the Gunners’ Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle United.

Arteta’s men were eliminated from the competition with a 4-0 aggregate loss, and the Spanish manager cited the team’s hectic schedule as a factor in their defeat.

“We have played so many games, every three days, and we knew that would be a high intensity. Emotionally it was a different game to believe we could get there. And before we expected, the game got away from us,” Arteta explained.

However, Morgan was unimpressed with Arteta’s reasoning.

“Arteta deserves this. He needs to stop making ridiculous excuses and accept responsibility for not buying a proper striker,” Morgan wrote on X.

“A decision that means we once again won’t win a trophy this season.”

Morgan’s criticism comes after Arsenal’s failure to sign a top striker during the January transfer window.

The Gunners will now focus on their Premier League and UEFA Champions League campaigns.
