2. Gunners missing Martin Odegaard desperately

Oh how we could have done with the Norwegian against the Magpies, but in truth, would he have even made a difference?

With no spark in the final third, Newcastle repelled anything and everything with ease.

With no Ben White or Odegaard and others off the pace, this was perhaps one of the worst performances under Arteta in recent memory.

Get back soon, Martin. Like now.
