This is the verdict of former Arsenal midfielder and pundit of ESPN FC, Stewart Robson.
Manchester United beat the Gunners 3-1 to take them out of the competition where they won a record 13 times.
The goals of Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial were enough to dismiss the hosts.
Arsenal entered the match after winning 2-0 at Chelsea last Saturday.
They defeated Tottenham, their rival from North London, 4-2 in December and Robson said the Spurs and Chelsea had suffered the same mistake against Arsenal.
"The reason they played well against Chelsea is that they played well against Tottenham, that 's because Tottenham and Chelsea have been trying to play themselves from the back, while that' s all right. Arsenal was up to it, "said Robson.
"It did not happen on Friday, Manchester United played beyond that pressure and then counter-attacked.
"So that's where they have the problem."
The only chance for Arsenal to win the silverware this season is in the Europa League.
And Robson can see them go far in the competition.
"Unai Emery has an excellent record in the Europa League," he added.
"They put on good sides, Arsenal during their day at home is a good side.
"Arsenal will be fine this season, I think they will have a good performance in Europa League.
"They could be in the top four, but I doubt it.
"But it's the season for most cutlery.
"Just this Europa League, that's all they can do."
