Ian Wright identified the two mistakes made by Unai Emery while Arsenal was defeated by Everton on Sunday.
The Gunners missed the opportunity to place themselves above their rivals in North London, Tottenham, and consolidated their position among the top four after a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.
Phil Jagielka, who started the game only after Michael Keane retired, scored the decisive goal of allowing Everton to win his 13th league victory.
Arsenal's hero, Wright, criticized Emery's choice of team and said the Gunners boss made a mistake by not starting the influential duo Aaron Ramsey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

"I was a little disappointed in Arsenal's selection," said Wright at Match of the Day 2.
"They are in fourth place, nobody would have thought at the beginning of the season that it would have happened like that.
So it was an opportunity to start Aubameyang, Lacazette, Ozil on the ground, Ramsey. Find your best players and try your luck at Everton.
"I thought we had missed a trick in that regard. At the end, Everton had the momentum … I think it's lucky they did not score another goal. "
For Arsenal, the 1-0 defeat ensures that they remain in fourth place, a point behind the Spurs in third.
After the loss, goalkeeper Bernd Leno said: "It was a disappointing result. We played well but did not have many chances to score.
"We conceded an unfortunate goal early in the game after a throw-in and it was difficult to play against a deep defense.
'The first goal was better for Everton. If the match stayed 0-0 longer, it would have been a lot easier for us.

"Everton had some chances after the transitions, but we need to improve to face deep defenses and create opportunities, because I think the next match against Watford will be the same."
About Arsenal's poor record far from home, the German international added: "Honestly, I do not know. But we are still in a good position and in a good atmosphere.
Losing a game is not a problem. We must continue, work hard and play our style because we are always in a good time. "
