Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has labelled Arsenal's performance in their North London derby defeat to Tottenham Hotspur as a "shambles".
The Gunners were outclassed tactically by Jose Mourinho's men and fell to a 2-0 defeat despite having the lion's share of possession, with Mikel Arteta's men now 15th in the table after a disappointing start to the campaign.
Arsenal are struggling for goals at the moment and questions have been asked over their lack of creativity, with Carragher refusing to hold back after Arteta claimed that his side played well at the weekend.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Carragher said: "I could not believe that interview. I could not believe some of the things I heard after the game and some of the things I've read this morning.
"Arsenal did not play well. Arsenal were awful, defensively and with the ball, from minute one. This idea that because you have possession, you've played well - I'm flabbergasted when I hear it.
"They never had one chance in the game where someone should have scored. I've just seen a Mourinho quote saying possession is for the poets or the philosophers. He's absolutely spot-on if there's nothing with the possession.
"I thought tactically Arsenal were a shambles, so poor."
Arsenal next face a Europa League dead rubber with Dundalk on Thursday before Burnley pay a visit to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday.
