Arsenal Eliminated by Manchester United in FA Cup

Arsenal's recent performances have raised serious concerns about manager Mikel Arteta's strategy, especially following their FA Cup exit to Manchester United and a prior defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup. The Gunners have struggled with a lack of a recognized striker, leading to an alarming lack of goals despite significant possession and attempts on target in recent matches. Arteta defended his players, stating they deserved better outcomes, but statistics show they failed to convert chances, with their only goal in the last two games coming from a deflected shot. Meanwhile, rivals Liverpool continue to strengthen their position atop the Premier League, leaving Arsenal trailing by six points and facing a tough schedule ahead. Arteta's failure to bolster the squad with a goalscorer has been highlighted as a critical oversight amid their trophy drought. As they prepare for a North London derby against Tottenham, the pressure on Arteta intensifies to turn their fortunes around.
