Manchester United legend Paul Scholes insists Bukayo Saka \u201clooks lost at the minute\u201d in Mikel Arteta\u2019s side after they lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City.<\/p>\n
The Citizens lifted the first major domestic trophy of the season on Sunday as two Nico O\u2019Reilly goals secured a 2-0 win over the Gunners at Wembley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Despite the defeat, Arsenal<\/strong> still have a lot to be positive about this season but Scholes has warned them that they are becoming \u201cobsessed\u201d with set-pieces and have forgotten how to scored goals in other ways.<\/p>\n Saka has been in poor form in recent months, by his incredibly hight standards, with two goals and one assist in his last 16 matches in all competitions, and Scholes picked the Arsenal winger out as looking \u201clost\u201d on Sunday.<\/p>\n Scholes said on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast<\/em>: \u201cTheir better players just weren\u2019t performing.<\/p>\n \u201cYou talk about these forward players not performing but you have to look at your midfield players and your centre-halves, they couldn\u2019t get the ball to them.<\/p>\n MEDIA WATCH: <\/span>Arsenal season starting to unravel as \u2018injury crisis\u2019 hits at \u2018worst possible time\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDid you see the bit where Bernardo Silva sprinted out to try to stop it going for a corner? Even when you\u2019re playing against it, you don\u2019t want to give it away.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s almost like playing against Stoke what we did years ago, sometimes because the throw-ins were that good the manager told us to kick it out for a corner because of (Rory) Delap, because the delivery is not as good.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat we\u2019re saying is, I think they\u2019ve become obsessed with it. They\u2019ve forgot about the other way that they can actually score goals.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve got good players. You\u2019ve got Saka who looks lost at the minute because they can\u2019t get the ball to him, more than anything, he\u2019s got great ability.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> Premier League leaders Arsenal are nine points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the table, while they still have a chance of winning the FA Cup and Champions League this season.<\/p>\n But Scholes has warned the Gunners that Man City could become \u201cunstoppable\u201d after witnessing Rodri\u2019s impressive performance at Wembley on Sunday.<\/p>\n Scholes added: \u201cWe\u2019ve been in their position, Arsenal, where you come to the end of the season, and you can\u2019t win a game when you\u2019ve had a blow like that.<\/p>\n \u201cI think that\u2019s the best he (Rodri) has looked since he\u2019s come back from his injury. I know he\u2019s been back for a long time and struggled for it. Rightfully so, because he was out for a year. If he carries on like that, they\u2019ll be unstoppable.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked if he thinks the international break has come at the wrong time for Man City, Scholes responded: \u201cNo, I think that\u2019ll give them massive confidence.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know what, if they win the game in hand and beat Arsenal, it\u2019s only three points all of a sudden.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
