Arsenal are encountering difficulties in finding the back of the net in the Women's Super League (WSL) as they prepare for a key match against Chelsea. The Gunners are currently seven points behind the league leaders, Manchester City, although they have a game in hand. Recent results, including draws against Crystal Palace and Manchester United, have highlighted concerns about their ability to secure early-season victories. Renee Slegers, Arsenal's head coach, has acknowledged the team's struggle to convert dominance into goals, emphasizing the need for greater attention to detail in the final third of the pitch. Despite a strong attacking lineup featuring players like Chloe Kelly, Olivia Smith, Alessia Russo, Stina Blackstenius, and Caitlin Foord, Arsenal have only managed two goals in their first three WSL games, despite taking 56 shots in total. One particular challenge has been the positioning of England forward Alessia Russo, who has not been playing in the traditional striker role this season. Despite her history of scoring goals in that position, Russo has attempted 11 shots, including 10 from inside the box, but has yet to find the net this season. Her goal record as an attacking midfielder is three in 507 minutes, compared to 21 goals in 2,913 minutes as a striker under Slegers. Slegers explained that the decision to use Russo in the number 10 role was made to create a threat in the box and to maximize the team's attacking options. The coach stressed the importance of generating scoring chances through various methods, including counter-attacks and set-pieces, and noted that the squad has several players capable of playing as strikers.
