Not a great statistic; Arsenal's 4-3-3 is meant to distribute the scoring responsibility to a large number of players. If we played with a 4-5-1 with a classic #9, then we would have more expectation of seeing a player with a higher goals/game ratio.

Admittedly we have been shit in the scoring department for a while - we make absolutely no use of corners or set pieces, and our midfielders haven't scored a distance shot in recent memory.
