Everyone is crowding around the ref trying to get a player sent off.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later there was even more drama after Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes appeared to elbow Arsenal&#8217;s Jorginho on the back of his head &#8211; but received no punishment from the referee.<\/p>\n<p>On that incident, Carragher admitted it was &#8216;not great&#8217; but didn&#8217;t deem it worthy of a sending off.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think it was more of a forearm from Guimaraes,&#8217; he said. &#8216;He just lost his head.

Having been there myself, it&#8217;s not a nice place to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The effort is there but he seems muddled. decision-making isn&#8217;t good. He&#8217;s trying but looking at his body language&#8230; he needs a break, a big moment. Not sympathy penalties like earlier in the season&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Sutton&#8217;s views are shared by a former Arsenal star, William Gallas, who recently slammed Havertz&#8217;s performances for the Gunners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8216;I\u2019m not impressed with Kai Havertz so far,\u2019 he told <span>Lord Ping<\/span>. &#8216;He\u2019s done nothing since he joined Arsenal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He may have scored, but that was only because Martin Odegaard\u00a0let him take a penalty!
