Arsenal’s supporters have taken to social media in numbers on Thursday evening, to urge their side to push a pair of January transfers over the line at all costs.
Mikel Arteta and co. marked their return to action a short time ago.
After standing tall en route to a 0-0 stalemate at Anfield last week, the Gunners, this time round, welcomed Liverpool to the Emirates, for the 2nd-leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final showdown between the clubs.
Unfortunately for all associated with the former, however, this time round, Arsenal were simply out-thought, out-fought and out-classed.
An altogether disappointing display ultimately culminated in the hosts being put to the sword by two goals to nil, owing to a brace on the part of Diogo Jota:
LIVERPOOL HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE FINAL! ?

‘Do you job’
On the back of the final whistle sounding on an altogether underwhelming night for their side, it should therefore come as little surprise to hear of the Arsenal faithful making their voices very much heard.
Those of a Gunners persuasion have flooded to social media, to call for imminent reinforcements to Mikel Arteta’s ranks.
The two players in demand? Juventus midfielder Arthur and Fiorentina sensation Dusan Vlahovic:
How’ve we still no signed anyone? Arthur n Vlahovic right now @Arsenal pls

I’ve said it millions time before and I’ll say that again. We are not making TOP4 w/o an additional striker and midfielder. Arthur/Vlahovic or whoever should come by the end of January. Edu, do your job please.

Vlahovic + Arthur now @edu

Arthur and Vlahovic please. We need to focus on this top4 race now. These boys can’t do more than this.

Pretty clear where our problems lie. We need a quality CM to partner partey and a top quality CF. Arsenal please go and get Vlahovic and Arthur. I’m not sure if Arthur is the answer but we need quality in CM. I think I’d rather Bruno from Lyon or Zakaria. #ARSLIV #AFC
