'We have to put them away' - do Arsenal need to sign a striker?
The full-time whistle at Emirates Stadium on Saturday was met with a smattering of boos from Arsenal supporters, knowing this was a huge missed opportunity to drag themselves back into contention in the Premier League title race.
The Gunners were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Everton and cannot afford too many more slip-ups if the league trophy is to head back to north London for the first time in more than two decades.

Mikel Arteta's men have set themselves a high standard after running Manchester City close in recent seasons but are already playing catch-up on leaders Liverpool, who drew 2-2 with Fulham at Anfield.
Against the Toffees, Arsenal dominated possession with 76% and had 13 shots, but were unable to breakdown a resolute Everton backline.
"I am disappointed not to win the game," said boss Arteta. "There is only one team that deserves to win and that is Arsenal. "We gave nothing away - no shots conceded, dominated the play, did not allow them to run, no set-pieces and the high press was excellent.
"We generated chances but you have [score] with all the dominance. I cannot ask more more from the boys apart from putting the ball in the net. We have to put them away."
