Arsenal 0-0 Everton: 3 takeaways as Gunners fire blanks

Unhealthy overreliance on Saka & Odegaard?

Saka and Odegaard are allowed "off" days for the Gunners, but the problem is no one else can pick up the slack. Given how much venom both have going forward, when they are up and running, the Gunners purr.

But as we saw against Everton, when one or, in this case, both aren't at it, the Gunners are rendered useless going forward. This is a game where a piece on individual brilliance was needed to take three points and in an ideal world, Martinelli or the like would pick up the slack.

However, that never came to fruition, and the Gunners' attack suffered. It can't be left up to Saka and Odegaard because this is the result when they aren't at their best.
