Might have been true in previous years but I do think it's a fairly obvious issue this season.
Of course there's no magic solution but we have a striker who's remit is to bring the midfield into play. You have to wonder what a more savvy and selfish striker could do with the sort of ammunition we have at our disposal.
We need a striker that creates his own chances.
Giroud doesn't do that.
If he could create his own chances, it would just be a bonus. Our team provides enough chances for our striker, all we need is for him to be clinical and score on them. There hasnt been one game this season, where Giroud havent been fed with a chance he should score on.
He had two very good chances today and three good chances against City. The first one he missed was similar to one of the chances against City.
Also, because we've been relying upon Ramsey to score goals, he's playing way too far up the pitch for some games and it's leaving us exposed. Ozil needs to sort his game out too. He's playing like a pussy. Totally anonymous.
If I'm honest I just don't believe in this side, I needed to see us produce something in the last few games, something that tells me we're capable of winning the league, I haven't seen that, we're not the best team and the best team usually wins the league. Until we can show we are capable of beating the top sides, I'm never going to truly believe and will continue to see us as 2nd tier. 2 points from 9 with 2 games at home is a poor return IMO.
A striker might help but I'm not sure Wenger will spend and don't know who is available, we need someone World class who can guarantee goals.
