Jamie Redknapp labelled Arsenal 'a team full of kidders' but Mikel Arteta insists he sees 'fighters' in his squad... so, which category do Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Co fall under after club's nightmare start?

Arsenal's horrendous start to the season continued with a thrashing by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, leading Jamie Redknapp to label the club's experienced stars a 'team full of kidders'.

The Sky Sports pundit insisted Gunners boss Mikel Arteta can only rely on three or four players in his squad because players like David Luiz and Mesut Ozil 'get bored' after putting in a few good performances.

However, Arteta himself claimed after the defeat by City that he saw 'a lot of fighters' and claimed the players kept showing spirit despite the four goals they conceded against Pep Guardiola's men.
