‘Fortunately, they won yesterday; otherwise, fans would have come for His head immediately, for what He did yesterday was utter ‘RUBBISH’; Arteta should sit him down and put some sense into him; Chelsea Icon Frank Lampard discloses the one Arsenal player who was not up to standard yesterday in their great win against Burnley.

Arsenal is currently enjoying a comfortable time finding the back of the net, with Mikel Arteta’s team scoring 11 goals in two games. Bukayo Saka has been a standout performer, contributing four goals and successfully converting two penalties. In the previous week, the 22-year-old redeemed himself by scoring a penalty against Alphonse Areola, following a miss at the London Stadium last season. Saka continued his scoring form by netting against James Trafford in the 5-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

Despite Saka’s impressive performance, former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood criticized his penalty, describing it as “not convincing” and even labeling it as “bad.” This critique is somewhat perplexing, considering Saka’s overall reliability and improvement since his time in the Arsenal academy.

Interestingly, calls for Arsenal to sign a striker during the January transfer window have been met with skepticism, as players like Bukayo Saka demonstrate that a traditional number nine may not be necessary. Saka has accumulated 12 Premier League goals and eight assists, along with seven goals in the Champions League, showcasing his versatility and goal-scoring prowess.

While Tim Sherwood focused on the perceived shortcomings of Saka’s penalty, Arsenal is currently in high spirits, entering the Champions League with confidence. The team’s positive mood is highlighted as they prepare to face Porto in Portugal. As they progress in the competition, Arsenal seems to have found a winning formula, even without a designated striker.
