Arsenal Lose Debut Match Against Dinamo Zagreb

Arsenal need to worry ahead of the Chelsea clash after seeing that the Blues were the only Premier League team that managed to win their Champions League match. Mourinho’s side, despite probably having the easiest job out of all the 4 PL teams involved in the competition, looked totally different than how they have looked in the domestic race. Wenger will have to boost the morale of the players and figure out what went wrong against Dinamo who aside from possession, had the same numbers in terms of statistics.

DINAMO ZAGREB


  • Shots: 13
  • On target: 3
  • Possession: 39%
  • Corners: 2
  • Fouls: 14

ARSENAL

  • Shots: 14
  • On target: 5
  • Possession: 61%
  • Corners: 7
  • Fouls: 14

Even if some may argue Arsenal would have won if not for Giroud’s elimination which swayed the balance in Dinamo Zagreb’s favor, there were still a lot of issues Wenger needs to address especially when it comes to the defense.

Every performance like this makes most wonder again and again why Wenger refuses to sign new players. The team looks, on several occasions like they are missing one or two big names to deliver when needed. Sanchez looks great, Walcott looks great and even Ozil has started to make himself noticed. Unfortunately, there’s no one upfront to keep cool and find the back of the net more than 15 times per season. Looking at Cavani and Benzema you cannot help wonder how much damage Arsenal could make if some world class players would join the lot. The same goes for the defense where every time there seems to be something missing which is exactly what got Zagreb their win last night.
