Other Source Of Arsenal Goals

1 – 0 win to the Arsenal against Everton, thanks to another Robin Van Persie goal. Robin Van Persie sure have single-handedly give Arsenal a win for many occasion this season. The more notable one is the brace he scores against West Brom after he was introduce as a subs. 0 – 0 draw against Fulham shows how Arsenal really need Robin Van Persie to start.


Arsenal now are doubt as a 1 team man. It is sure very worrying at times. Where will Arsenal goals come from if Robin Van Persie cannot have any chances to score or miss a game? A 4 – 0 win against Wigan shows Arsenal can also rely on other players to score.

Let us see who else should take scoring responsibility and take the burden off from Robin Van Persie.

Walcott

When people ask me who will scores besides Robin Van Persie, my mind will automatically think the name of Theo Walcott. We all know Theo can scores and currently he is Arsenal second top goal scorer. He have the pace and technique to do it. 4 goals in 21 appearances are not good enough. He scores 13 goals last season and I hope he get at least 20 goals this season.

Gervinho

Getting a much needed goal against Wigan, we all know how he can contribute to Arsenal scoreline. Either by assisting a goal or scoring himself, we just hope he can contribute more. He constantly gets himself in a good position to score but the finishing just deserted him sometimes. With only 3 goals to his name, he needs to work hard to improve his scoring stats. 18 goals last season at French League, we sure want to see more of the goals coming from him now.

Ramsey

He is not a Fabregas type attacking midfielder, but he always pop up at the box at the right moment and making a scoring chances for himself. The only things he lack is goals.

Arteta

The goal against Wigan shows us what he capable of. We all know he can score from outside the box and we sure like to see more of it. His best ever scoring season was with Everton during 2006/07 season with 12 goals. With the team like Arsenal and the better scoring chances he will have, I hope he can break his own record.

Arsenal Big Centre Back

Only 3 goals contributed by the centre back, all of it by Vermaelen, is just not good enough. Arsenal will bring any team a shivers defending a set-piece with the presence of Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Koscielny and Djourou, but so far it just not working out from the set pieces. Improve this area and Arsenal are the major goal threat not just from open play but from set-pieces as well.

While other players will have their chances and goals to their names once a while, the players mention above are the most like source of Arsenal goals right now and the stats just didn’t look good on them. I just hope they will get their scoring touch once again starting from the ManCity game and Arsenal will firing all cylinders this season.
