Big Weekend: Sanchez, Kane, Rodgers…

It’s time for Arsenal’s strikers to start taking some of their chances, whilst Alexis Sanchez needs to either perform or get a proper rest. Plus Wayne Rooney, Brendan Rodgers, Mark Hughes and Tim Sherwood… Arsenal’s strikers Arsene Wenger will be mightily pleased to have got past Tottenham in the League Cup in midweek, but the presence of Mathieu Flamini as the club’s top goalscorer won’t be giving him the mirth that many on social media seem to have derived from the statistic. Arsenal’s lack of goals is an oddity. They are registering more shots per game than last season (20.2 vs 16.1), shots on target (6.8 vs 6.0), shots in the penalty area (12.2 vs 9.0) and shots in the six-yard box (1.5 vs 0.9). Their shot accuracy is slightly down (50.0% vs 51.7%), but that does not explain the incredible loss of chance conversion, down from 16.2% to just 6.1%. Basically, they’re just missing chances and coming up against inspired goalkeepers. Something has to give. Either Arsenal suddenly find their goalscoring streak or Wenger’s side will be out of the title race before they even laced up their running spikes. They haven’t scored more than two goals in any of their ten matches in all competitions. Leicester and Crystal Palace have both done so three times each. Alexis Sanchez Forget all the debate about Theo Walcott or Olivier Giroud for a minute, for it is Sanchez who has been Arsenal’s most disappointing player so far this season. “Nobody plays 60 matches in a season anymore,” was Wenger’s wonderfully self-unaware quote this week. Sanchez played 58 last season, and that doesn’t include the Copa America last season. The poor lad is in desperate need of a rest, but Arsenal’s hopes are pinned on him in the absence of a ‘wow’ striker.
