Goalscoring not defending the issue

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

We bemoan our defending and rightly so, but for me the main problem is lack of goals.......with the exception of a few games where we have scored five, sixes and sevens....we are not scoring enough goals on a consistent basis.

In 14 of our 22 League games we have managed to score one goal or less, of those 14 games we have won 2 drawn drawn 6 and lost 6. In eight of those games we have managed one goal, in six of those games we have not scored. When we score one goal we have only gone onto win in 25% of those games. When we fail to score full stop we have drawn half the games and lost the other half.

In the remaining 8 when we have scored more than one goal, we have gone on to win 87.5% of the time.....in that there has only been one game in the league this season where we have scored more than once and not gone onto win (the 3-3 draw against Fulham).

The lack of creativity is the problem. With Giroud and Theo the service has to be on point because they don't have the ability to score from half chances and come up with individual class like RVC did. People don't think we miss Song but he became very good at assisting the assister and opening teams up. Of course the real killer though was losing Cesc, we just haven't looked the same as an attacking force since.

. As far as i'm concerned the problem can be summed up quite simply, no Robin Van Persie. Guy scored 40% of our league goals last season

It's both and we have problems in defence, midfield and attack. Shit in all areas.

Would help if Arteta had a creative bone in his body

The irony is we have scored two more goals than we managed at the same point last season, the problem is there isn't an even spread. 29 of the 41 goals we have scored this season have occurred in six games (six games where we have scored three or more goals), leaving sixteen games where we have amassed a collective amount of 12 goals.

Managing is the issue.

Pretty much, though we have some talent in midfield but we don't have the right mix of players.

The defence is shocking and full of average players, the forward line is again very average.

I'm sorry but the signings in recent years have been shocking, there's barely an ounce of quality and this from a man who claims he only looks for super super quality and only wants players that are better than what he's got.

we have the talent and squad to be pushing for 3/4 at least and we even gave city a very good game at their place earlier in the season. but we can't achieve that because of the manager.

We wouldn't have this squad at the price we do if not for the very same manager.
