Jamie Carragher Critiques Arsenal's Creativity, Insists Striker Not Main Issue

Jamie Carragher has emphasized that Arsenal's primary issue is not a lack of a top striker, but rather a deficiency in creativity. During his analysis on Sky Sports, he noted that despite the Gunners' struggles in front of goal, their finishing statistics suggest they have been effective when provided with chances. Carragher pointed out that Arsenal's chance creation is comparable to that of lower-ranked teams, indicating that improving creativity should be the club's focus over pursuing a new striker. He highlighted that even if a top-tier striker like Erling Haaland were on the team, the outcomes of recent games would not significantly change without enhanced chance creation. Arsenal's inability to create high-quality opportunities has hindered their title ambitions, particularly highlighted in their recent draw against Manchester United. Carragher believes that adding creative players should be prioritized to enhance the team's overall performance.
