Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted to being concerned about his team’s lack of teeth in front of goal.
The Gunners, who went blank in their last game against Leeds after a red card in the second half to Nicolas Pepe, remain 11 in the table after nine games.
Sunday’s draw at Elland Road was the fourth time in the last five Premier League games where Arsenal have failed to score the back of the net.
Arsenal’s goal this season is to finish in the top four after winning the FA Cup last season.
They have also invested in their team in the last transfer window and the fans are hoping they have a good season.
But this current form can’t even get them into the top six, and Arteta knows they have to start scoring goals, otherwise they won’t achieve their goals.
He made this admission while speaking after the game.
“It worries me obviously because we need goals and we need a lot of goals to win football matches and be the best team we want to be, without that it is impossible,” he said after the match as quoted by the Daily Mail.
It doesn’t matter how good we are on the defensive. It is not a lack of attacking players that we have, because we have attacking players on the field all the time, but we need some moments when we have to make decisions earlier, better and they have to be more ruthless.
“But it’s the hardest thing in football and sometimes we go through these patches and we have to overcome them and I have to help the players to do it as quickly as possible.”
