Has Arsenals FA Cup defeat to Watford ended their hopes of success this season? What can Arsene Wenger do to ease the pressure that hangs over him? Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith surveys the scene at the Emirates. Albert Pujols Jersey ... With Leicester and north London rivals Tottenham leading the charge for the Premier League title, the forecast at the Emirates Stadium looks bleak in the wake of Sundays shock cup exit.Whats more, the north Londoners face a daunting trip to European champions Barcelona on Wednesday as they bid to overturn a two-goal first leg deficit in their last-16 Champions League tie. With Wenger facing the most intense level criticism during his 20-year tenure, and ahead of the Gunners trip to the Camp Nou, we caught up with Sky Sports pundit Smith for his assessment of the state of affairs at his former club...What can Arsenal realistically achieve this season?Defeat at home to Watford saw Arsenal taste defeat in the FA Cup for the first time since 2013, dashing their hopes of becoming the first team since the 1880s to win it three years on the spin. Few, if any, give them any chance of navigating their European tie with Barca, but what can they achieve this season? The Gunners have to overturn Barcelonas two-goal first leg lead on Wednesday SMITH SAYS: Arsenal can still win the league. The 11-point gap is big but there are still nine games to go. There are plenty of points to play for but they cannot afford to drop any more. Of course they can still win it, but I dont think they will. They have got to give it their best shot and certainly have to play better than they have been of late. My mind turns to the Manchester United performance and the Watford defeat where the level dropped, they were better against Spurs but youd expect them to be up for a north London derby. They have got to pick things up quickly.Would ending the season with a bang appease the fans if silverware isnt won?The large majority of football fans up and down the country havent got a problem with their club losing games, so long as the passion and will to win is there for all to see. Arsenals performance levels in recent weeks have dipped below the high standards they should be reaching. So could fans salvage some pride from a string of better performances? Arsene Wengers side have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions SMITH SAYS: It would be easier for Arsenal fans to take, thats for sure. But if Leicester and, God forbid, Spurs win it they would question Arsene Wenger who has been talking about the financial gap all these years - paying off the stadium, Man City and Chelsea having bigger budgets. So for one of the others to go and win it makes his argument redundant and it would be really damaging. There would be a big swell of fans calling for him to go. If there was no reaction from here on in it would be hard for Wenger to stay.Would blooding the next crop of Arsenal youngsters ease the pain?Its a line that has been fed to Arsenal fans for years. The promise of an exciting new era of success being nurtured in the clubs revered youth teams, waiting to come to fruition. So could a group of young guns breaking into the first team atone for the Gunners disappointing campaign? Would more youngsters following the likes of Hector Bellerin bring some cheer to the Emirates? SMITH SAYS: No. Arsenal fans have seen good young kids for the last 15 years, they want them to be a proper team. They want to see that steel and craft, the harder side of the game, to see out their title challenge. It is not about kids coming through, as nice as that is, its about ending a 12-year drought for the title.How can Wenger ease the pressure currently hanging over him?Arsene Wenger has won three Premier League titles and six FA Cups during a revolutionary spell at Highbury and the Emirates. However, recent results have acted as fuel to those who argue his legacy is now being tarnished. Starting with Wednesday trip to Barcelona, can anything be done by the Frenchman? Alan Smith says Arsenal might need to replace manager Arsene Wenger if they do not win anything this season. SMITH SAYS: The only option Wenger has is to go as hard for the title as they possibly can and produce the best football. When they do produce their best football they are a match for most. When the draw was made, everyone expected Arsenal to go out of the Champions League so people cant get too carried away by being eliminated by Barcelona. The fans will be looking at what sort of attitude they show now, they want to see a committed performance at the Camp Nou and theyll certainly not want to witness an embarrassment. They have to be organised and disciplined and not go gung-ho, after all they could score late on to force extra-time - you never know! Its time for a mature performance.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Philadelphia 76ers rookie Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick in last months NBA draft, battled cramping in both legs during his summer league debut and needed assistance getting off the court in the fourth quarter of a 102-94 loss to the Boston Celtics. Simmons?did not return to the game.The 76ers said Simmons would not play in Tuesdays game against the San Antonio Spurs as a precaution.We might have been able to put him back in, but on July Fourth, we didnt need to create those fireworks, Philadelphia summer coach Billy Lange said. Weve got a long summer league schedule ahead of us, between the rest of this summer league and Vegas. We said yesterday we were going to take it smart from here on out.Simmons said he would make an effort to ward off cramps by drinking more fluids.Thats the worst Ive ever cramped, so Im definitely going to stay on that, he said.In his first NBA appearance, Simmons posted 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists over 23:41 of play. He connected on just two of nine shots but displayed excellent court vision and pushed the ball up the floor after rebounds. Philadelphia was plus-9 in plus/minus when Simmons was on the floor. He committed just one turnover.Simmons, who hadnt played a game since his final collegiate game with?LSU?on March 12, played only short stints at the start of Mondays game. He was seen trying to stretch out both calves in the second half of the 76ers summer league opener at Vivint Smart Home Arena.Im good, Simmons said. Just cramps. ... Its been about four months since I played. Thats the main reason. I havent played in a while.When not hindered by cramps, Simmons showcased the ballhandling and passing abilities that made him the top selection in the draft. He had a particularly good second-quarter sequence with conssecutive highlight-caliber dishes. Brian Goodwin Angels Jersey. The first came when, pushing the ball after a rebound, he threaded a pass to fellow rookie Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot for a layup.Its hard to stop somebody thats 6-[foot]-10 coming at you full speed, Simmons said. As long as everybody else is running with me, I think good things could happen.Soon after, Simmons delivered a spectacular one-touch pass from the high post that fed Richaun Holmes on the blocks for an easy dunk.?Simmons also fed Holmes with an over-the-head no-look feed as part of his passing highlight reel.Oh, [Holmes] was just open, Simmons said. I dont know. He was open and made a play. The big came over trying to block my shot, so I dished it.Asked what he liked from Simmons debut, Lange rattled off: Passing, ballhandling, confidence, communication, swagger, enthusiasm, love for teammates. It wasnt about him. I said that [at Sundays practice], it was the first thing I noticed. He just was excited to be 19 years old and around a bunch of guys and put that [76ers] logo on his chest.The conversation steered to Simmons passing abilities and the notion that he could be a rare breed as a point forward.Lets label it, right? Lange said. Everybody wants to put a label to it. But hes a basketball player. Hes a really good basketball player, and this is summer league, so theres still a long journey ahead. But I think anyone thats watched enough basketball sees a skill set there thats really exciting, and that skill set involves ballhandling, dribbling, driving, passing and looking to score.Simmons was asked what exactly hell take away from his NBA debut, and he deadpanned, I gotta drink more fluids.
