Jamie Carragher insisted that the lack of Arsenal striker is not her biggest problem in the comments made when appearing in Monday night football.
Speaking of Sky Sports before West Ham United at home for Newcastle United, Carragher revealed how he thinks Arsenal should improve elsewhere.
The gunners suffered another blow to their offer for the first Premier League title in 21 years, when they were kept 1 x 1 by Manchester United in Old Trafford on Sunday.
Despite being without strikers Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli due to injury, Carragher thinks Mikel Arteta’s team is missing ‘more creative players’.
Analyzing the Arsenal game at home with Hammers on February 22, Carragher pointed out his inability to create high quality chances as a reason they lost more land in the title race.
Liverpool’s former Zagueiro also highlighted his inefficiency in Chance Creation in the next Arsenal game in Nottingham Forest.

Summing up your thoughts on the subject, Carragher said, ‘Forget about bringing number 9, the first thing they can do is more creative players.’
He elaborated by examining the inability of the northern Londons of calling Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana, in action.
Carragher added: ‘If Arsenal had a nine number, let’s say Erling Haaland was playing for them. Would they have scored more goals? Of course, they are one of the best strikers and a great finisher.
‘But based on [Arsenal’s last three games]With the best chances they had, Erling Haaland makes no difference.
Carragher’s comments come after Artta left an interview on TV when he was asked about the hopes of the Arsenal title.
Reporter Patrick Davison stopped Arteta leaving his postpartum interview once to ask a final question about the title race, but the Spaniard refused to answer and made a hasty exit.
Asked in a separate press conference if Arsenal’s challenge finally ended, Arteta said, ‘I don’t mean that, but today the frustration is that we don’t win a game and you are required to win all the matches if you want a chance to do it.’
Arteta seemed quite frustrated throughout the interview, often interrupting Davison to give initial answers.

The camera had to move when Arteta tried to leave early and he cut a frustrated figure while making a hasty output of the chat.
He did it after Davison asked, ‘I have to ask about the title race because it’s 15 points now, is it too much?’ Arteta replied, ‘No, thank you’ before leaving.
Prior to the game against Manchester United, Mailsport examined how Arsenal was fortunate to score seven goals against PSV Eindhoven in the biggest victory ever recorded in the competition.
Against the PSV, Arsenal’s highest chance in expected goals (XG) occurred when Calafiori marked the seventh of his team with the right foot just under 12 meters – winning 0.36 xg.
On the other hand, the goals of Jurrien Timber and Leandro Trossard generated just over 0.16 xg, although both come from the six -yard box.
As a result, Arsenal could consider itself lucky for putting the tie on bed at such an initial stage.
In the Netherlands, they only won a total of expected goals (XG) of 2.35 of 13 shots
The expected objectives are determined by several factors to determine the probability of a particular photo to reach the rear of the network when taken.
The factors include the type of assistance that leads to attempt, be it a head or foot, the angle and distance from the shot and was determined as a great chance.
For example, a rebound falling to a player in front of a goal opened six yards will have a high score XG, but a shot removed from 35 yards at a narrow angle will have a low xg score.
The expected objectives are measured on a scale of 0.01 to 0.99, with a shot with an XG classification of 0.5, which means that a player should score with a chance of 50 % of the time.
