Outside of striker the pieces are all there. It'd be nice to have more power from midfield, but the team is incredibly good at playing between the lines. The finishing is the problem and that can be a confidence issue. The defensive spacing, particularly the combo of Gab-Kos, is excellent and could allow us to bring back the high press, which would limit goal mouth chances. The seasons where we had two fast CBs are also the seasons where the team gave up the fewest open play chances. What we need is for Jack to grow into the DLP role and use his considerable ability to dictate play. Cazorla is a super player but he's also a forward thinking player.

The team hasn't played well but more so than other years all the pieces are there.

From @7amKickoff

quote:

Arsenal only took eight shots from outside the box today — that’s 36% of their total on the day and matches their season average from last year. But the Gunners also created five shots in prime positions — these are positions close to goal where Arsenal scored 33% of their attempts last season. And to make matters better/worse (depending on your disposition), they created created three big chances in this match — these are positions where a player is 1-v-1 with the keeper or has a shot which you would reasonably expect the player to score. In short, just like against Liverpool, West Ham, and Crystal Palace, Arsenal are creating excellent chances but simply not finishing them.
