Arsenal’s finishing has to improve.

The Gunners have got their first points of the season thanks to a 1-0ꦦ win over Norwic𝓰h.

However, the result should have been ꦓa much more emphatic one.

Despite racking up 30 shots, Arsenal coul🌊d only✃ muster a single goal, courtesy of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Even that goal from Aubameyang came at the end of a move that saw Nicolas P🍸epe hit both posts.

That’s where the problem lies for the Gunners ⛦– finishing.

In Aubameyang, Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette, Arsenal should have more thaꦦn enough firepower to 🎃consistently score goals.

Last season saw t𝓀he trio chip in with 33 Premier League goals between them ().

Ho💝wever, no one at Arsenal has looked sharp in front of goal in the Premier League.

Bukay🏅o Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe and Martin Odegaard all missed chances against Norwich and on another day that could be costly.

The Gunners have a very good chance of𓂃 finishing in the Europe𒈔an places.

With no European football to worry about, their schedule will stay fairly clear and allo♍w the players to stay fresh.

Tไhat will provide a boost for Arteta, but that boost will be thoroughly wasted if his sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚide requires 30 shots to score a single goal.

In the Carabao Cup Arsenal managed to put six goals past We♛st Brom from just 14 at🎐tempts.

That’s much more like 💫it, but 🍨it needs to become the norm in the Premier League.

The next four league games Arsenal face are trips to Burnley and Brighton and home games against Tottenham and Cryܫstal Palace.

Those fixtures are much easier than their opening four which included games vs Man City a𝓰nd Chelsea.

These games give Arsenal an opportunity to start finishing more clinically, something which has to happen for th𝔍is season be successful.
