Arsenal: ‘Not enough’ – ‘toothless’ Gunners miss out again after losing to Newcastle
Arsenal is the second-place top scorer in the Premier League this season, but they need a striker, a talisman.
Newcastle did have one in Alexander Isak, who scored 17 shots on Arsenal’s 34 on both legs and won 4-0.
Usually, football managers pretend they are happy after the transfer window that failed to recruit, but Ateta admits he is They have “disappointed” “not achieved”.
Aston Villa rejects Arsenal’s approach England striker Ollie Watkins is a week before the transfer window is closed.
Rumors tie them to Wolf, Matheus Cunha of Wolf, Benjamin Sesco of Leipzig and even Evan Ferguson of Brighton.
This makes them with Kai Havertz (more like an offensive midfielder) their only real choice in ninth place.
Havertz scored 15 goals in all games, but it was the highest scorer for a team fighting for multiple trophys.
The Germans are the 12th-place finish in the Premier League, keeping nine points with Liam Delap and Ipswich Town is in the relegation zone.
Gabriel Jesus was the last striker they signed in 2022 (although he is also a range player) and was injured, star winger Bukayo Saka was also the only 20-goal scorer last season.
Arteta says overall on Wednesday’s game Harvez may have to start every game For the rest of the season.
He said the other options he had played there were Wingers Leandro Trossard, Raheem Sterling, Ethan Nwaneri and Gabriel Martinelli.
Martinelli’s injury to Newcastle, Sterling scored a goal for the club, while Nwaneri is 17 years old.
Their last 20 seasons forward was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (29 goals in 2019-20). Since then, Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Folarin Balogun and Eddie Nketiah are the forwards who left the club.
Sweden’s Isak reportedly showed them what was missing on Wednesday.
He ran out of the Gunners’ defense, banning the goal in an offside goal and hitting Jacob Murphy’s opener. He also scored in the first leg – one of his 19 goals this season.
Arteta then said: “They work more effectively in the box than we do, and that’s the difference between the tie.”
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville said in a speech at Sky Sports: “On the one hand Isak is on the other side, and on the other hand Havertz – imagine if they After changing the shirt, what will be on that side.
“This has a lot of attention to the toothlessness of former Arsenal players compared to Newcastle players.”
Former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp added: “Harvez did a great job there, but did he do a great job? No.
“I almost felt bad for him because of the stick, but the nine games at Arsenal were great and fans would know he wasn’t in the players they had.
“The Defenders can’t handle Isaac, like they saw a ghost. That’s what Arsenal doesn’t have.”
While there may be complaints about Harvez, the truth is that he is the only target player in all games – and the only one with a rich forward experience.
“They don’t have a lot of numbers,” said former Newcastle goalkeeper Shea. “In order for Arsenal to achieve anything they have to keep the Havevertz fit and wrap in lint. It’s a big requirement.”
