Jurrien Timber in fan cry as Arsenal aim to bounce back from Newcastle loss Jurrien Timber believes Arsenal’s FA Cup clash with Manchester United this weekend is a “beautiful match to bounce back” after the Gunners suffered a painful defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.
Arsenal have seven games before then, starting on Sunday when they host Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup, and Timber has urged them to fight back.
Prior to this season, only once had a side in the semi-finals of the League Cup progressed to the final after losing the first leg by two or more goals, with Aston Villa doing so against Tranmere Rovers in 1993-94.
“On the other hand, if you give two easy goals away it makes it hard because they’re going to drop very low, which makes it even harder but it’s a good challenge for us.
Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night after goals in either half from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.
