[Now Sports]Arsenal scored 23 goals in the first 10 Premier League games, and then only scored 14 goals in the next 10 games. For the lack of goals, the forwards naturally have to bear the greatest responsibility, but tactics are not irrelevant. Arsenal’s four offensive players, Gabriel Martinelli, Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Odigote, all have a lower rate of goals converted from last season, with Martinelli being the most exaggerated. , dropped sharply from 27.27% to 9.09%, and Audi Goth also dropped from 25% to 13.8%.

Judging from the goals per minute rate, they are not satisfactory either. They have also fallen back. Martinelli has increased from 187 minutes last season to 649.5 minutes this season, and Jesus has also improved from 188.6 minutes to 313.3 minutes. .

The failure of forwards is not only due to their own condition and confidence, but also related to tactics. The strongest point of Arsenal’s offense last season was the creation of a 3-on-2 situation on the sideline, but this season they focused on letting Saka and Martinelli play one-on-one, which slowed down the offensive speed when facing the bus. Congesting the space around the penalty area.

This shortcoming is proved by statistics. Arsenal had as many as 229 shots in the penalty area, second only to Liverpool’s 239 times, but only scored 19 non-dead ball goals, ranking 13th in the Premier League, while Liverpool had 31 goals. It can be seen that most of the Arsenal’s attacks are unsuccessful. Players delay before taking action, making it easier for opponents to block. Since the beginning of the season, as many as 106 attempts have been blocked.

After a short break, Arsenal will face Crystal at home in the Premier League on Saturday.
