Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has pleaded with Gunners’ fans, asking them to give the new signings made this Summer time and to be patient.
Arsenal suffered their second setback this season, enduring their second stalemate in their second game of the season at Stoke.
Wenger told media: “Last season I had to answer, ‘Why do you play Van Persie as a centre forward?’ And you don’t have to convince me that we have lost an exceptional player. I was the first to say that.
“We have to get around that by sharing more of the goals than we did before with Van Persie. If Giroud scores 20 and Podolski scores 20, we will get goals. I’m convinced about that.
“We have to share them around. But, a month ago, they did not know each other. The understanding is missing, but it will come.
“We have work to do on the training ground but you can feel the potential. The understanding can come quickly. But the more it is spoken about, the bigger the problem becomes.
“Giroud should not think he is a replacement for Van Persie in the number of goals. We want to play as a team and if we play well as a team, we will score goals.’
