Former Arsenal star Wright seems clearly concerned by what he saw at the Emirates Stadium last night, with a lack of fire-power up front clearly costing Arteta’s side.
Despite some decent possession and chances on the night, Arsenal just didn’t look that threatening up front, with the injury to Bukayo Saka looking like a huge problem.
It’s hard to imagine Arsenal will be able to win trophies this season unless they bring in a new striker or wide-forward this January, and Wright has called on the board to give Arteta the backing he needs.
“You’ve got to look at the board now. I don’t know what you do but you’ve got to try and so something,” Wright said on ITV’s coverage of the game last night, as quoted by the Daily Mirror.
“He (Arteta) needs help. I know it’s very difficult to get anything in this January window but he needs something else because if it’s gonna carry on like this, it’s gonna be very difficult to score.
“We’re not scoring with the corners, we’re not scoring with the chances we’re making, something needs to change. Something needs to happen.”
