Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Everton, following a narrow 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest, yet their attacking performance continues to draw scrutiny. While goals from centre-backs Ezri Konsa and Gabriel sealed the win, key attacking players such as Mikel Merino, Declan Rice, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, and Kai Havertz failed to register a single shot on target. David Raya maintained a clean sheet, underscoring Arsenal's defensive strength, even in William Saliba's absence. The article suggests Mikel Arteta's heavy reliance on Bukayo Saka might be affecting the player's form. Despite their resilience keeping them in the Premier League title race, potentially level with Manchester City, Arsenal's reliance on defensive contributions and tight victories highlights ongoing concerns about their offensive potency, often making matches more challenging than necessary.
