Carlos Tevez, Vladmir Weiss and Shaun Wright-Phillips scored for the home side in a 3-0 drubbing of the visiting Arsenal side. Some experts believed that the score line would have been even worse, if the City would have taken all their chances properly.

With this loss, the North London club is out of the Carling Cup competition. After a loss to Chelsea during the weekends, this loss is going to reduce the morale of the side. There are people saying that Arsene Wenger had to play a role in both the games, if they were to even give a fight to their opponent.

Now, the Frenchman will have to come out and get his side out of this drought, so that they can again get that winning habit back, which had them on a 13-game undefeated streak in all competitions (couple of weeks back).

Arsene Wenger has been all praise for his young players, who have enjoyed great success in the League Cup.

Ahead of their clash against Manchester City in the Quarter Finals, Gunners Manager said that he has used this competition for giving experience to the youngsters in his squad all the time.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Carling Cup match on Wednesday, Wenger said, “There are a number of players, who have performed well in the cup. Most of these young players have gone on to become the best players for the side in the Premier League.”

“In this very team, you have players like Denilson and Song, who are examples of this system.”

“Both these players were a part of the Gunners side that won 6-3 at Anfield 3 season back. Song was not even a favorite for many to be a part of the Gunners starting eleven. However, now, both of them have become an integral part of the starting eleven.”

Speaking on the match, he said, “It is going to be a tough game, but you can always be assured that Arsenal will come out prepared to give City a run for their money.”

Following a comprehensive 0-3 loss to London rivals at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal is looking to coming back hard against their opponents. The the fact that Robin Van Persie may not be available for the next few months has Wenger thinking about reviving his interest in the striker.

During the previous transfer window, there was a huge speculation of Chamakh coming over to the Emirates Stadium, but it never happened. There were rumors that his valuation was found out to be a bit to high for Wenger.

However, the striker’s contract is about to expire during this coming summer and we can expect Wenger to make a move to get him on the team.

There are reports that the 25-year-old star is favoring a switch in January. However, due to the fact that the star is ineligible to play with the Gunners in the Champions League, makes it a difficult decision.

Other strikers on Arsenal radars include Real Madrid’s Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Andre-Pierre Gignac from Toulouse.
