Both Bukayo Saka and Heung-Min Son scored for their respective sides in a heavyweight Super Sunday clash, although a point does neither team any favors early on in their bid for the Premier League title.
Despite the pulsating encounter, Arsenal need to improve their striking options with some chances not being snapped up in key moments.
He pointed towards a moment in the second half when Eddie Nketiah stood still in the box as Saka’s in swinging corner was flicked on towards the far post, and another before the break when Gabriel Jesus pounced on James Maddison on the edge of Tottenham’s area but wastefully fired over.
“And then earlier with Jesus, when he robbed Maddison, these are big moments in the game. You’ve got to be on the move and be sniffing, smelling, anticipating, and Arsenal haven’t got that.
“I really like this Arsenal team and they could go on to win a title or finish second, have a great season and win trophies without that type of player, but it became obvious in this game that it was missing. Alan Smith pointed it out on commentary too and he knows far more than I do about playing up front.”
