There’s something up at Arsenal.

Actually, there are many things up at the club but there is one glaring problem that we can’t miss – Arsenal are a bit rubbish in front of goal.

Actually, that’s being kind. Arsenal

Arsenal are *really* rubbish in front of goal.

How rubbish you say? Well, *really*.

According to Opta Arsenal have spurned 57 chances which are classed as ones they should be scoring.

57.

That’s more than any other side in the league.

They have created 85 clear-cut chances. No side has more. They’ve missed 67.1% of the big ones.

Only Newcastle, Swansea (not on Wednesday) and Norwich come close to being as bad in front of goal.
