After his team’s third consecutive loss and getting knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of Liverpool, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has opened up on his team’s chances of signing a striker.
The Gunners created several chances against Liverpool but failed to finish them, losing 2-0 in the process and failing to qualify for the next round of the FA Cup.
Arsenal lack firepower upfront and miss a player who can be lethal in front of goal and finish off the chances created by their creative midfield players.
Talking to bein SPORTS after the Liverpool defeat, Arteta said:
“At the moment it doesn’t look realistic.
“My job is to improve the players we have.”
“What I beg from the supporters is that they are behind the team,” he said.
“Stick behind the team, they are incredibly good. They deserve the support with their attitude.
“One thing is what we need and another is what we can do. What we can do is stick behind those players and make sure we stick behind those players.”
The Gunners have scored just one goal in their last three games. They have lost three times in a row for the first time since 2022 and Arteta’s team is going through a goal scoring crisis right now.
Failure to address this issue in the January transfer window might break Arsenal’s season and cost them deeply.
Arteta have lost matches ordinarily they should not have lost if Arsenal have proven goal scorer in the team. The players are good no one is contesting that,but there’s obvious problem that needs to be solved. Arteta have been preparing for Liverpool’s match for two weeks and the team created almost thirty chances and could not score one. Meaning that Arteta can not provide any solution to the problem. Arteta should hide his pride to watch Vllahovic winning goal for Juventus the same night that Arsenal created almost thirty chances and could not score one. If Arteta is not ambitious to win epl or he is not experienced enough to win EPL he should be fired or resign voluntarily. Fans will not take his his flaming excuses after loosing the EPL title stupidity last season. We have all opportunities to sign Vlahovic now because Juventus need some of our players that can reduce payment for his signature but Arteta and Edu are afraid of progress and at this time they can’t take fans for granted. They should be fired or resign voluntarily to avoid fans reactions for their failures that might not be taken lightly at the end of the season.
