They had 22 shots and 7 shots on target. If you don't score then, the striker position is probably worth taking a look at. I still can't believe a player like Zirkzee is with them. That says a lot about their transfer policy.

This is true, Id rather have 1 shot and 1 goal compared to double digit shots that actually came from long range shot that got denied easily by Raya

Statistically we are abit better than last season but we lack the finishing touch as always, I have some hope on the three new signings and they were quite good so yeah Im kinda optimist that we will win against Fulham next week. Goalkeeper is still a problem for us, we probably wouldnt be able to sign Donnarumma so yeah we gotta stick with either Bayindir or Onana for the next 6 months

I agree, it didn't look as bad as it did last season. But this minimalist style like 1 shot 1 goal, to be honest I think it doesn't work very often consistently through out the season unless you have a brutal defense that is making no mistakes. Top teams that were all about the defense was Inter Milan in their prime for example, or Atletico Madrid, but that is years of work for a coach to get the team to that point that in 90% of the time a single goal is enough to win most of the games.

You can see that most teams are able to score against stronger teams. They don't necessarily beat the favourites, but if the favourites were to play for that one goal only, I think it would go wrong more often than not. Arsenal was about to lose it if Manchester United had a more compelling approach to score at least one goal. They lacked the right ideas as soon as they came closer to Arsenal's box.
