Eddie Nketiah has come in for a lot of criticism after Arsenal's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City. The 23-year-old missed three presentable chances in the loss and although he would not mention him by name, it was clear that Mikel Arteta was frustrated by the wastefulness of his centre forward.
"It’s exceptionally difficult to play at the level they require you to play to have a chance to win," the Spaniard said in his post-match press conference. "I thought in many moments we did and we had them, but if you give three goals the way we did and don’t put away the big chances that we had the margin for error is almost zero. It’s a shame because we really had them."
Despite a good start to his run in the side Nketiah has underscored his xG per 90 by 0.21 so far this season (as per fbRef). It's certainly a concern for Arsenal, but they are suffering from a problem far greater than the profligacy of their penalty box poacher.
