3. Reinforcements are needed

The 0-0 draw at home showed us something that most already know. Reinforcements are needed. With the Gunners starting XI trying to break down a stout defence, aside from Fabio Vieira, there was no other player capable of changing the game.

As a result, Mikel Arteta made just one change on Tuesday night: Takehiro Tomiyasu for Ben White.

Arsenal needed another offensive outlet to come on and try and change the game, but they didn’t have it.
