Ian Wright has taken to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to react after Arsenal suffered a 2-1 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The Gunners were looking to bounce back from the midweek loss to West Ham United and appeared to be on track after Bukayo Saka bagged the opener four minutes into the game.

However, Fulham drew level some minutes later before taking the lead in the second half, and Arsenal were toothless in attack, failing to register a shot on target when play resumed.

Wright was left concerned with what he saw as the Gunners’ lack of a plan B was brutally exposed, and the Arsenal legend took to X to send this message to manager Mikel Arteta.

Such a lack of expression and freedom in the final third from such a young exciting team. Where is the courage and conviction to play and try things. As soon as teams stop us you just see the confidence leave us. Have to get them going again.

They failed to complete a pass into the penalty area between the 67th minute and the 95th minute of the game, and the performance was arguably their worst of the campaign so far.
