""Well, there were a lot of situations that the chances were there and then especially the final pass was missing," Arteta insisted. "There were a lot of very good balls in the box, especially I remember three of them that he was very, very close to doing it against City. "To have very big open chances is extremely difficult, but he's certainly trying his best and trying to do that, and we have to provide more for him, that's it.""
""He hasn't had a kick today and he might get criticism again on the back of the game today, but I don't think in those three games he's had a chance," Carragher added. "They haven't created a chance for him. "So I go back to when people keep saying 'Arsenal's problem is finishing.'. But it's not, it's creating. They don't create enough ... they have"
Viktor Gyökeres registered only 22 touches and failed to register a single shot in Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The £55 million signing produced similarly quiet displays in recent matches, including a 1-0 win at Manchester United and a 1-0 defeat at Liverpool. Gyökeres missed an opportunity to tap in Leandro Trossard's cross but had several close chances in the box. Mikel Arteta defended the striker and said final passes were missing and that the team must provide more. Jamie Carragher questioned Gyökeres's impact in big games and argued Arsenal's issue is creating chances rather than finishing.
