Do Gunners have 'fire in their belly' after cup final defeat?
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked if you think Arsenal's defeat in the Carabao Cup final could have an impact on their chances of winning the Premier League title. Here are some of your comments: Herbie: I believe the loss will affect the players' mentality, dampening the arguable momentum we had after a very positive game against Bayern Leverkusen. However, with the international break, I don't believe it'll be an issue because the players will have the time to reflect and improve, while staying fit and in form playing for their country.
Chris: Not particularly worried, international break now and also we don't play City every week so I don't think there's much riding on the defeat! Even if City win all their remaining games, that's not enough so long as we do the same. Tony: The main worry is that the midfield and attack have lost form.
They have been grinding out results and riding their luck. Too many players look sluggish and predictable in their decision-making. Unless players who can step up are introduced, it's all very likely to slip away from them.
Paul: No, I don't believe it will. There is an international break to recover in, then back to business. It was a huge disappointment, but Arsenal will still win the league.
Dave: Arsenal were beaten by a better side on the day. You learn more from a defeat and often come away better prepared next time. Journalists want a headline, like Arsenal have bottled it or they'll lose everything, but there is a different narrative which is of a team that reacts positively to defeat.
