Daz not really this bit as our most recent EPL results show we are also struggling to score against teams with relatively poor defences
It's true, but thinking about the Project™ not just the past few weeks, the heated claims about our attack being neglected under Arteta don't stand up to the fact we've scored 88 and 91 goals in our past two seasons.
We haven't neglected attack. We've given up beaucoup cash we might've used to recruit star forwards to push an offence based on ball-playing defenders and two ball-playing keepers—enjoying considerable success with that approach.
You can't look at this squad and say we shouldn't have signed Timber, Rice, White, Kiwior, Calafiori, Raya, etc. Take most of these players out and we'd have suffered for months at some stage, they've all been successes.
The forward signings meanwhile are suspect. Jesus is shit, Trossard is not a 90 minute athlete, Martinelli has lost his touch, and Havertz is stylistically frustrating and offering us patchy form.
It's more the case that if we had one more can-opener level, Saka level forward who could come in from the left of our attack, that player would be a huge multiplier for both left and right. The challenge is not to add to our tally of big names who aren't delivering.
