Arsenal looked exhausted against Burnley on Sunday. Sparks of life from Emile Smith-Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli were evident but even the usually spritely Bukayo Saka struggled to consistently push Erik Pieters.
The match made it all the more evident how new signings in midfield and striker are necessary should Arsenal want to increase their chances of trying to qualify for the Champions League. Crosses were pelted into the box for a sub-six-foot Alexandre Lacazette with Ben Mee and James Tarkowski having a field day heading them comfortably away.
The tactics are certainly worthy of questioning but the depth in the team also remains hugely weakened.
