Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang can’t score, Mesut Ozil can’t play, and wonderkid William Saliba is sidelined – What’s going wrong with Arsenal under Mikel ......
Nov 24, 2020
Arsenal’s dismal start to the Premier League season continued as they drew 0-0 with Leeds United.
It was a tough Sunday evening with the Gunners significantly outplayed, even before the second-half red card Nicolas Pepe received for a headbutt on Ezgjan Alioski.
Overall, they barely threatened the goal of Illan Meslier, with their inability to maintain an attacking threat over the course of 90 minutes now a very real issue
Their top scorer is Alexandre Lacazette, who has hit the back of the net just three times, and they have managed a total of only nine in the Premier League this season – the same amount Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son has by himself.
“The fact we need to score more goals, it’s a concern,” Arteta said . “We need goals and a lot of goals to win football matches to be the top team that we want to be. Without that it is impossible.
“It doesn’t matter how we are defensively.
“It’s not the lack of attacking players we have or the attacking players we are putting on the pitch, but we need some moments where we have to make better decisions and be more ruthless.

“But it’s the most difficult thing in football and sometimes we go through these patches and we have to overcome. I have to help the players to overcome and do it as quickly as possible.”
