Wright is right, but striking issue isn't an easy fix

FEW people are better placed than Ian Wright to assess Arsenal's attacking woes, and in four words he summed up the thoughts of everyone here at the Emirates yesterday.

"We need a killer," said Wright on social media after watching the Gunners miss numerous first-half chances.

Arsenal were ultimately made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal as Liverpool struck twice late on to dump them out of the FA Cup.

It is now three defeats in a row for Arsenal, who have won just one of their past seven matches.

This loss followed a familiar pattern to recent defeats, with the Gunners creating plenty of chances but failing to convert them.

When Arsenal did finally manage to get the ball in the net, it was Jakub Kiwior heading into his own one with 10 minutes to go.

In their quest for an equaliser, Arsenal were hit on the counter and Luis Diaz found the top corner with the type of finish Mikel Arteta's side have been lacking.

Arsenal have had 61 shots in their last three games and managed just one goal.
