Arsenal were held to a goalless draw by Everton on Saturday, so does Mikel Arteta need to sign a striker in January?
The full-time whistle at Emirates Stadium on Saturday was met with a smattering of boos from Arsenal supporters, knowing this was a huge missed opportunity to drag themselves back into contention in the Premier League title race.and cannot afford too many more slip-ups if the league trophy is to head back to north London for the first time in more than two decades.
"We generated chances but you have with all the dominance. I cannot ask more more from the boys apart from putting the ball in the net. We have to put them away." After failing to beat Fulham last Sunday, Arsenal have drawn back-to-back league games for the first time since April 2023, while this was their first goalless draw at home since January 2023 against Newcastle.Arsenal have scored four fewer goals than at this stage last season and 11 fewer than in 2022-23.They have scored as many non-penalty goals after 16 games this season as they did last season , but have won four fewer penalties.Their current expected goals is 27.7, compared to 29.
So, Arsenal's finishing is down in terms of overperforming xG which a top striker could help with, but their creativity in terms of the amount of shots they're creating is also down. A pass was slipped through into the box for Havertz, but the Germany international was unable to sort his feet out and Everton cleared the ball, whereas a clinical number nine may well have controlled it and slotted home.
