ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger has no doubt his side can soon get back on the goal trail at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners host Stoke today having yet to find the net in their opening two home matches.
Wenger, though, remains confident the end product will come sooner rather than later provided his side maintain their focus.
“We have created the chances and that is what we want to continue to do,” said Wenger, who is facing up to being without injured forward Danny Welbeck until at least Christmas.
“I believe that the finishing is a bit cyclical, up and down, and we are the team who has created the most chances since the start of the season, so let’s just continue to focus on the quality of our game.”
Arsenal drew criticism for failing to bring in a replacement for Welbeck ahead of the transfer deadline after they knew the former Manchester United frontman needed surgery on a long-standing knee problem.
Wenger had hoped Welbeck, who last played in the goalless draw against Chelsea on April 18, would be set for a return soon after the international break.
“We got very bad news because in my mind he was almost ready to play again. He was very close, but he could not tolerate the final step up in his rehab,” Wenger said to Arsenal Player.
“We always wanted to try conservative rehab first under the guidance of specialists and he did get very close.
“We had to consult and in the end they decided to go in (to the knee) and see what is wrong. He will be out certainly until Christmas.”
