Prediction
Arsenal 3-0 West Ham
I was on record, even during the latter stages of the Dark Days saying that patience was needed because it's natural that given the age of our squad, there will be slumps, so I hear that.It’s not everyone though that’s the thing. It’s just Saka and Martinelli really, and given their age it was always on the cards. Ødegaard isn’t playing in the same kind of spaces as he was last season.
The problem is that our no9 has never ever had shooting boots.
Stfu Gangandeep.Glad Moyes got his first ever Arsenal away win anyway.
We created good chances tonight though. Even if everyone was moving slowly and we looked very flat. Our creativity is not the issue. We lack the finishing touch more imo.

How did we get 2.68x G? A little perplexed. Those two headers from Jesus where the only clear chances I can remember and Jesus was never going to finish both of those two. I guess there were a couple of long range shots that we made but surely not high xG chances.Yeah, but hand on heart, do any of our attackers look confident in front of goal? Most chances were fluffed.
All summer and begging of season we told them it’s not sustainable. We got the arrogant dismissive answer we scored 88 goals no team has ever had 3 non strikers score 15, 15 and 14. Anyone with sense could see. But people only see things after they happened. Half the season gone and we are on course of 72 goals with 6 teams out scoring us after 19 gamesStatistical correction. We had guys who aren’t proven goalscorers hitting double figures for fun.
A few like @Rasmi and I called it out as unsustainable and I think we’re just seeing it get corrected.
Saka, Jesus and Martinelli all struggling horribly from open play but you can’t exactly point to previous seasons and be confident they’re going to turn it around are they? We don’t have volume goalscorers in tis team.
Diagree
Still it was your first win at the Emirates since 2015 IIRC and David Moyes first win there entirely, solid performances from most of your players out there. Definitely a reason to be excited compared to previous seasons.
Solanke in the past few weeks has scored the entirety of JaySus’ Arsenal tally.
Don’t make come to India/pakistan and slap you with a chapati.Stfu Gangandeep.
This. Last season doesn't mean **** this season especially scoring wise.Atleast their second goal killed the cry

Yes, and we have slowed our game down so much, that it allows teams like West Ham to regroup their defensive shape, over and over.
Too many players snatching at chances, no composure at all.We also scoring from set pieces alot our players lost their finishing touch this season Saka Martinelli simply not scoring G.jesus miss chances more than scoring.
To be honest this problem only solve by players themselves we creating chances alot of them last 3 home games we had 23 attempts on target and only managed 4 goals this is poverty stuff
