- Predictability. Our players need to be 100% every game to counter the fact that teams know how to stop us play. We have done exceptionally well to maintain this so far this season - but there seems so little room for error.

If we are honest, these issues are nothing new. The improvement in our defence, not in our attacking ability as a team is why we are where we are.
You are being unrealistic if you expect arsenal to have more squad depth than silly money clubs like chelsea and city, we cant have 3-4 quality players on every position just because we've been unlucky with injuries in the same area the last couple of months. All we really need is a 2. quality striker.
