Martin Keown says Arsenal's players need someone to 'punch them in the face' to wake them up after their dismal display saw them concede an injury-time equaliser against Slavia Prague in the Europa League.
The Gunners took the lead in their Europa League quarter-final first leg at the Emirates thanks to Nicolas Pepe's finish in the 86th minute, but Tomas Holes levelled at the death to give the Czech side a vital away goal.
Mikel Arteta's side were wasteful and missed chances to put themselves out of sight earlier in the game before a poor piece of defending from a corner saw them relinquish their lead.
Former Arsenal defender Keown laid into the Gunners for their cagey approach in the first half before they improved after the break.
Keown added that Arteta is finding it difficult to get a reaction from the players, before criticising the sloppy mistakes which led to Slavia's equaliser.
Fellow BT pundit Karen Carney said the Gunners boss looks 'lost' and suggested the playing group was split.
