Arsenal through 4 PL games Last year: 8 goals scored

Arsenal through 4 PL games this year: 6 goals scored

You’d think Arsenal have played 4 scoreless draws to start the season the way they’re talking.

[AhmedMostafa-guot]

Arsenal played 5 games this season and scored in 4 of them. That title is LUDICROUS.

[Essaywriter]

People really do overreact, Arsenal has only been unable to score in one of the last 5 games, so is city by the way. So Arsenal can score goals guys

[kohhvuu]

one game we dont score and this is the headline. absolutely ridiculous.

[sharangrg]

Liverpool 7 goals in 4 games. They are fine!!!
Arsenal 6 goals in 4 games (Which included Villa and Spurs away). We can't score apparently!!!

[gboladealexander]

People said arsenal can't score goals last season and their style of play wasn't interesting, boom, January came and they turned on the second gear, you cannot play all 38 premier league games in 2nd gear, injuries and fatigue would set in.

[eL--RaL]

But they can park buses.. Ain't nobody better than them

[GodsCrazySon]

I’m not a arsenal fan. But the only team that can keep up with city this season is arsenal and maybe Liverpool

[RonanReal]

I don’t know why they are saying we cant score goals, Arsenal scored in their first 4 games before the game verses Atalanta, sometimes 0-0 draws happen in games, this is just a way for espn and any other sports channel to mention arsenal not scoring a goal

[tadeleabera-pqyl]

The wrong headline nonsense as always!

[glennBMFV]

when even ESPN predicts 0-0 in this you know haaland is ghosting once again in a big match while arsenal parks the bus in the most anticipated match in PL of this season even kane scored against arsenal

[eltrinogomez]

stevie is a 100% correct about declan and odegaad

[Lobags]

Martinelli right now is making bad decision making when he should shoot he passes and when he should pass he shoots. I think we just stick with Martinelli up front

[Thecreativestranger]

Funny how people are realising that Odegaard is by far the best and most important player for Arsenal. Lol

[melvinguye]

Stevie doesn't like arsenal . I have hardly heard stevie making a POSITIVE point about arsenal football club since I have been watching this program

[sajab]

Hard to pick a winner. I guess it will be a 1:1.
But Steve Nicol...Haaland as the difference player in big games (against Real Madrid, Liverpoo, Arsenal...)🤔 probably not.

More Rodri, Silva, Foden, De Bruyne (if he's not injured).

[innercircle]

This idea that Arsenal "should have gone for it a bit more" at the Etihad is utter pish. They were flat out to play how they did and did not have the physical or tactical or technical ability to do any more. Had they tried to open up and attack City they simply would have been exposed at the back and conceded goals.

in short, they were not good enough. A draw was a great result, not the reason they lost the league. That was down to losing 4 games to Fulham, Villa and West Ham. Frankly they could and should have won the title easily. Drawing at home to 10 man Fulham and losing at home to West Ham were the worst results.

a draw at city will be a fantastic result if they get it

[mamezeynu]

Tell him we scored two goal foot balll you dont know what happend thats why we love foot ball

[saltamonte]

This should be for City to lose. Arsenal just don’t have the winning mentality yet when it comes down to the top, top level.

[henrywachira]

As usual ESPN are always negative on arsenal
