RVP - I need to score more

Robin van Persie admits he is conscious of the fact that he needs to score more but insists he is happy as long as the team continue to share the goals around. The Dutchman has just one strike to his name from seven games in all competitions this term but with the Gunners boasting 11 different scorers from their six matches so far this season Arsene Wenger's men have had no problems finding the net overall. The 26-year-old is now Arsenal's main striker following the departure of Emmanuel Adebayor in the summer but the former Feyenoord man says he feels no added pressure. However Van Persie does state that he hoped to go on a goalscoring run sooner rather than later and repay Wenger's faith in him. "The way we are doing now is that everyone is sharing the goals," he told the London Evening Standard. "I'm quite happy with that but I should score more personally, especially against Wigan. But as long as we share the goals and everyone is passing at the right moment I am happy. "If one striker scores 40 or 50 goals I would rely on him. But that happens once every 10 years. I'm quite happy to share the goals. "But I don't feel that I'm at the top of my game as a main striker yet. I have to improve on many things but it is quite new and the main thing is that the boss really backs me on this one. "He really thinks I can succeed as he has a lot of trust in me."
