Mikel Arteta must find a way to solve worsening Arsenal problem to secure title Arsenal's forwards are consistently providing less goals to the overral output of the squad and Mikel Arteta needs to find a way to change it if he hopes to lift the title

In 23/24, after 26 games, 79% of Arsenal's 62 goals had been scored by their forwards or attacking midfielders - football.london

At the same stage in 24/25, that dropped to 66% of 51 goals. This season, it's just 58% of 50 goals.

A lot of people lauded Simon Jordan for how he β€œdealt” with Eni Aluko.

No matter what you might think of Aluko, and for one I think she’s made persistent mistakes and I don’t agree with her on plenty, what I witnessed went beyond that and became personal.

Then what he said today on Ratcliffe… wow.

Viktor Gyokeres is starting to prove me wrong, and I am loving it! - @Football_LDN

But what is the Manchester City manager not telling you?

He’s spoken about how the perception that we’re not risk taking isn’t by instruction and he wants us to be more of that ilk

Afraid we have to swallow the rhetoric that's coming this week.

Arsenal, the players and the manager are worthy of criticism after that performance(s). But you're about to see the bash machine go into overdrive.

Gotta get behind 'em, get back to it. Expect a response.
