adminLONDON. — After failing to score in their opening two home league games for the first time in 36 years, Arsenal will be looking for their first goals and their first win at the Emirates Stadium this season when they play Stoke City tomorrow. Manager Arsene Wenger has been roundly criticised by many of the club’s fans for failing to strengthen his team during the transfer window, especially in attack.
Arsenal are sixth in the table with seven points from their opening four matches that include a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace, a 1-0 win at Newcastle and a goalless draw with Liverpool. But two of those three goals were own goals, and Arsenal appear to have a lack of fire-power up front with Danny Welbeck’s injured knee keeping him out of the side at least until Christmas time.
Including their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Community Shield in August, Arsenal have only scored four goals in five games so far. Wenger though, defended his transfer policy yesterday, saying he was satisfied with his squad and had plenty of options in attack too. – Reuters.
