Arsenal's strikers are all struggling for consistency - are these the facts that show a new signing is needed?

After 15 minutes of Arsenal's game against Liverpool on Monday night, the away fans feared they might have to endure a repeat of last season's dismantling in north London.
But they didn't. Arsenal - despite having their first-choice front six - struggled to assert themselves on the game for huge periods. And when they did enjoy brief spells of fluidity their finishing let them down.
If watching them last season was akin to witnessing a surgeon in action, the Arsenal of 2015/16 feels more like a GCSE student with a pair of safety scissors.
Their opening three Premier League games have seen them take 61 shots - more than any other side in the league - yet they have scored just two goals (the joint fewest).

And it should be remembered one of those goals came courtesy of a Crystal Palace defender Damien Delaney, who generously scooped the ball into his own net at Selhurst Park.
Fans may point to Aaron Ramsey's (wrongly?) disallowed goal against Liverpool - but for a team with ambitions of breaking the top four Groundhog Day of recent times, more is certainly expected of them.
Indeed, it is the first time the Gunners have failed to score in their opening two home games since 1979. Arsenal fans have been expecting an extraordinary season - but not in this way.

They have also failed to score in five of their last six Premier League home games, while frontman Olivier Giroud is not the player he was at the start of 2015.
