Arsenal beat Sheffield United 6-0 Monday night, where Mikel Arteta's side managed to have five different players on the score sheet.
Having beaten West Ham 6-0 and Burnley 5-0 in their most recent away games, the Gunners also found themselves five up at half-time. Arsenal do not have a fully fit striker at the moment, but do they actually need one?
They have scored 31 goals in their last seven games, but will it be enough to get them over the line for the Premier League title?
Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic’s David Ornstein and former Arsenal midfielder Adrian Clarke to discuss.

Also, shout out to Kiwior, a center back coming in on the left with our two best left fullbacks out iinjured, and shining bright! Trossard, also, so it's not just Havertz coming on strong. We are in our best stretch yet this season, playing great back to front, and now, our first team are coming back from injury. Very optimistic.

@@anthonybergelin2184 Rice may well become a legend but 100 million never counts as a bargain. Just good business. I think we overpaid a bit if Rice really wanted us too btw. West Ham fans that booed him a disgrace as he could easily have pushed his way to us for 90 tops. We overpaid for Havertz too. Its not about what they end up being with its about what they could have been bought for with sharp negotiating skills. Odeegard on loan I actually commented we need to build the team round him if we can keep him as he is only potential world class player we have. Saka Saliba now in that conversation too. So 35 million for him was a steal. Arteta really wanted him for that reason and whole transfer window was him for me. When it looked like he was staying at Real I was gutted. Hopefully both get the title they yearn and deserve for their performances this season.

There are many other reasons we are better this year besides the old frankly, lazy stock argument of leaders. Talent is better. Depth is better. Experience/one more year with Arteta ball/Failure of a league challenge are just a few reasons besides the old lazy argument of just saying leaders. Also Arteta is a year wiser and evolving as one of the best tacticians in the game. Better talent either new players and the players a year older to peak age plus an evolving Arteta are the biggest reasons. Whenever a team fails we always get that tired argument of there are no leaders when actually leaders is probably 8th in the list of reasons a team is bad. Or Good.

And in addition to be skilled the team to win often had a bit more luck, and I hope that they will not have to many bad refeering decisions against them, and in any case will stay strong. I would be very happy for them if they could win this year, but I'm sorry that I think it's still to early for them to go the hole season both in Champions League and Premier League.

It's the underlying athletic profile, technical attributes, age and personality that you look for in a signing and that Ferguson has. Basically you're getting a Harry Kane type aged 19. You then get Mikel to develop him (like he did with White, Odegaard and Martinelli) and put him in an elite structure (Arsenal).

Ornie talks nonsense. Of course summer window 2023 wasn't more important than summer 2022. The new Arsenal started with coming of Saliba (high line, more compact length in state of attack), Zinchenko (world class line breaking and delivering to danger zones in general), Jesus (world class operator between defensive lines, immediate upgrade of chemistry between attacking 5). Last summer was logical continuation of that, but the course was already picked. 6:55 Another strange moment xD It was obvious that we were not favourites last season, despite 5 points gap. Cause you don't really expect to win on Anfield and Etihad. Basically: to become champions you must win almost every game. You don't expect team that came 5 previous season to win every game. That's why "bottling" is only what stupid can say.

You have kind of contradicted yourself….. Question are we struggling to score goals, have we struggled for the past 2 seasons? NO, last season was a record for Arsenal in the PL, 88 goals even more than the Invincible’s, this season will be similar. However Partey will leave and he cannot be relied upon due to fitness, and we don’t have direct replacements for Gabi or Bukayu and you rightly point out. We need a #6 and a serious winger that can play on both sides and beat players. These two things are way way more important than a striker. Now I’m not saying we shouldn’t look at buying a striker, BUT only a striker that will make a difference, a world class striker or a striker with potential. Defo not Toney he is no where near good enough But we need a #6 and winger far more than we do a striker, goals aren’t a problem, losing Gabi or Bukayu and J2O makes a big difference.

we dont need a striker because loads of players are scoring.

i wouldn't mind a player that is not scared to kick from outside the area though, preferably with a high % of accuracy...valverde like. (valverde would be great but obviously wishfull thinking cause he is not leaving RM anytime soon)

Havertz over Jesus at our attack , anytime any day

I would love if we would sign Sesko. He is the right profile and I believe he will become world class.

come on Sheffield have given up on their season, earlier games they put up a fight when there was a glimmer of hope. Lets big up Arsenal after their trip to the Ethihad. This team last season folded like an Argos deck chair they are one bad loss away from doing the same again. BTW David salaries arent revenue they are a cost

They don't? There lack of another striker is the reason they lost the top spot in the league table.

Ornstein, that was close. I thought you were a self loathing Jew with yesterday's hat. LFGM!

Christ. You've been saying for months Arsenal need a striker. Havertz scores once against Sheffield and suddenly they don't? talk about recency bias.

@Amesy20 5 ай бұрын

Not much need for a conversation for needing a striker when the team have just scored 31 goals in 7 matches. A striker will be recruited during the summer.

Havertz has been piss poor for several seasons now….and hardly scored a goal. And he scores 7 goals (the whole season so far), and suddenly they dont need a striker? Its not like he is dominating, LOL.

Everyone at Chelsea was piss poor tho

@@mrsmokingskittles148 As if thats an excuse for not contributing yourself.. He was piss poor for Arsenal also . Its not like he has become world class just because he has scored 7 goals for a team that creates as many chances as they do every game. Wonder how many times Odegaard has played him theough without him scoring…

the don't need a striker is not cause of havertz (the discussion in the video), it's sharing the goals between all players.

Lol, what is this waffle?? 🧇 What happened @ Porto hm?? ''For now''?? What? You lot aren't serious fans! Spursy mentality. We needed a good Striker the day We (well, Our egomaniac win nothing manager) got rid of Aubameyang (who won him that fa cup.) Just desserts that we haven't won anything since. 2ndTeta needs to put aside his ego to have Our club progress from 2nd place.
