Arsenal have failed to find the net in four matches and are on a five-game faultless run in all competitions.
A little about the topic
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta says the team should start scoring again amid their rare run of poor form in front of goal. Arsenal had another rebound against Burnley on Sunday as they were held to a goalless draw by Sean Dyche’s at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners were the dominant attacking side throughout the Premier League match, but failed to land a decisive blow, much to the manager’s dismay.
The North London team made 20 attempts against Burnley. According to Opta, it is the most Gunners to have been at home in the Premier League without a goal scored in the past six seasons. Mikel Arteta’s players have now failed to score in four consecutive matches for the first time since December 2005. Their only goal so far in January came in a New Year’s Eve clash against Man City, which they lost 2-1.
What did Mikel Arteta say?
Mikel was disappointed with the way his team started the match against Burnley but feels they did everything they could to break the stalemate. Mikel Arteta said that they started slowly, they looked light and didn’t have enough rhythm or intention to attack the way they wanted to. they started to play better, with more rhythm and threat, and came out in the second half quite different.
According to Mikel Arteta they tried in different ways but lacked quality in the final third. At the end, when they have a really low block, it takes spark and creativity to win football games and they didn’t do that today. It’s what they do, they want to play slowly, it takes a long time, it’s their game and it deserves respect. Mikel Arteta says they need to start scoring goals and getting players back, the last four weeks have been extremely difficult to put training and lineups together due to the amount of coronavirus and injuries.
