If Arsenal has one desire for 2024, it should be to score as many goals as they can in the Premier League.
In the first half of the 2023–24 Premier League season, Arsenal struggled with efficiency in front of goal, creating a lot of chances to win games by a huge margin, but they ended up winning with narrow margins, and they’ve even lost games, like the losses to Villa and West Ham due to their inability to bury their chances.
Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Bukayo Saka, their key attacking trio, have only scored 11 goals between them. Isn’t that disappointing?
With that said, the commentator legend Jeff Stelling believes the Gunners have little chance to win the league if they continue to struggle in front of goal.
Stelling confessed on talkSPORT that Arsenal’s title bid will be jeopardized if they don’t score when it counts. He said, “if you look at that front three, Martinelli, Jesus, and Saka, between them they have eleven Premier League goals this season. You’re not going to win the title with that sort of output.”
“I don’t think they’ve been the same!” 😳
“They had 10 more points, 8 more goals, and had conceded 3x fewer, at the same stage!”

This winter, there is talk of bringing in a striker. I’m hoping it goes through. With a clinical striker, maybe their numbers in front of goal will improve, and they’ll be able to fire on all cylinders and compete for the Premier League crown.
After a disappointing 2022–23 season in which they lost the league title battle after they were leading, the Gooners were hoping for a redemption season this season. Hopefully, Arteta and the boys will redeem themselves come May, the end of this season.

Jeff knows and its slapping us in the face. Our forwards are a mess, considering the potential talent that is in there.
The stupid part is that Edu & Arteta parted 45M to hire a 10 goal a season wonder while City used the funds to hire a real striker for 50M+. The next stupid part was hiring Kai for 65M/300K wages when we needed a CDM. Another waste of funds for Fabio 34M. Then we have Ramsdale 35M to be dumped for someone worse than him. 700M spent and we have a Community Shield to be proud of. Go Arteta. Today!.
What nonsense!
You are perfect with hindsight and unfortunately largely completely wrong.
Support another team because this one is not doing anything for your sense of loyalty.
Exactly how it is gunner. Wrong investments.
If Arteta was to suddenly go today as you want who on earth do you think would take over as our manager/coach straight away. Let’s have some suggestions from you of people that are available.
Zinedine Zidane
Who cares what a Sky reject thinks? He is a no norhing waster like much of the sports press.
What he said is a fact 11 goals between the three of them. If you consider the fact that Salah has scored more goals than our so called attack you can see why supporters are asking for a change in tatics.
Jeff’s a sound bloke, but he is stating the obvious on this.
Love Jeff, great presenter.
