Frustrations with Goal Creation

Arsenal struggled to create clear goal-scoring opportunities during their match against Fulham, finishing with a significantly low expected goals (xG) from open play. Despite dominating possession and being in control for most of the game, they only managed an xG of 0.296 from open play, highlighting their inability to convert possession into effective chances. Both analysts noted the team's reliance on set pieces for scoring, emphasizing the need for improvement in open play creation. The lack of effective attacking options off the bench further compounded these frustrations, as key players were unavailable for selection.
