Arsenal's inability to score is now a major concern, as is its ability to create goal-scoring chances.
Arsenal is now paying the price for its lack of spending in the summer and the January transfer window with the club's crippling injury list to most of its attacking players now at a stage where Mikel Artera is strugglnig to find answers.
The 1-0 defeat to West Ham was just yucky, and while the 0-0 draw to Nottingham Forest showed some improvement, it still wasn't enough with the Gunners lacking a quality player upfront who could score goals but also do their part in creating them.
Such is the cloud hanging over the club now, that there is a danger of a serious slide to end the season, and while top four right now looks as good as clinched, we know that in football, it doesn't take much for things to go south.
At least there were some improvements against Forest, but 13 shots and just one on target tells us that for all of Arteta's ideas about who to play where and how, it still doesn't matter because there is no genuine forward up top.
How can Arsenal solve attacking woes?
But with still so much football left to play, what other levers are there to pull for Arteta and his coaching staff? Jorginho has an idea.
“We need to keep pushing, we need to keep going,” Jorginho said via arsenal.com. “We need to find the solutions to score, to create more chances in the box, more shots. Everyone needs to step up and do a bit more for the team. The willingness of the team is huge and you can see how hard everyone tries and for sure we are going to carry on that way.”
Is it really that simple?
Just keep showing up, putting in the work and eventually the tide will turn? That is easier said than done especially when so many times it isn't working, where is the motivation to keep banging on the door going to come from?
It's going to have to come from within. Arsenal still has a lot to play for, and yes, the title is gone, even though mathematically, it isn't out of it, there is still the top four to secure, and the Champions League as well.
But solving the goal-scoring woes isn't a simple fix, even if Jorginho lays out a simple solution.
