Why are Arsenal struggling to score in WSL?

Arsenal are facing difficulties in front of goal as the Women's Super League season progresses. After a slow start, the team has drawn their last two matches against Crystal Palace and Manchester United, both of which featured their inability to capitalize on dominant play. Manager Sarah Schmidt acknowledges the need to improve these aspects of their game, particularly in the final third and set-pieces.

Team captain Renee Slegers emphasizes the importance of creating and converting opportunities, noting that their squad has the ability to win major trophies. However, Arsenal's shooting accuracy and decision-making have been underwhelming, resulting in only two goals in their first three games. Striker Alessia Russo has struggled to find the back of the net, with her performance suggesting she might benefit from playing in a different position.

The team's manager has stated that she prefers Russo in the number ten role, but her recent form has not justified this choice.
