I didn’t think we’d lose but sounds like we stumbled over the line somewhat.
At least we got there.
It’s been a mess of a season but I do think there’s a good side in there somewhere.
We are very hard to beat but we don’t win enough either. It’s clear where the problem is. We didn’t address it last summer, we absolutely have to this year.
Arteta seems very keen on having goals come from all over the team and whilst I favour that as well, you do need a focal point of attack and someone you can rely on to get you goals. We haven’t had a player get anywhere near 20 goals a season since Auba.
We do have a lot of different players who score goals (16 different goalscorers in the league this season) but this season no one in double figures and it shows why the last two seasons we got 89 and 91 goals and this season we have 67 (18 goals in last 13 league games)
