Ian Wright came up with a observation that might explain Arsenal’s huge drop in goals this season.
Only Wolves and the bottom four have scored less than the Gunners this term at just nine.
Wright noticed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette were both off target right before the 1-0 win at Old Trafford. As a man who knows how to find the back of the net, Wright explained how it could pinpoint to the problems Arsenal are having up front.
“What I saw the other day was Arsenal’s warm-up before the Manchester United game – there was a shooting session down in the corner,” he told the Wrighty’s House podcast.
“We saw nine shots from the main characters – Aubameyang, Lacazette, all of them – and every single one of them missed. Even though we beat Manchester United, it was telling.
“If I’m being honest, there’s not many chances being created, which is why I feel so unfortunate for Auba. It’s just a coincidence that he’s signed his contract at this time and then the suits say: ‘It’s because he’s signed his contract, he’s clocked off’. We’re not creating chances!
“We’re not creating chances but I do not like seeing in a warm-up shooting session, people missing the target, and sloppy shots. All those things make you look into the team and what’s going on.”
