Is Kai really midfielder? Lol
Arsenal = Good ?
Hard to hit a through pass when teams are camped around their box. But we can still improve here
I feel a player like Eddie suffers from our lack of directness. I know he’s public enemy #1 on this sub, but when our passing is more croissant than baguette…we’re not getting the best out of him.
The only thing we can talk badly about Rice, for now.
If you’re ever wondering why Jorginho plays ao often, Rice’s position here is your answer
Always find this style of graph is absolutely useless after a certain point
I feel like this team has outgrown Odegaard. Arteta has obviously decided to abandon the balls to the wall attacking strategy, and has settled for a more Mourinho-esque smash and grabs in order to sustain stamina in the PL “marathon”.
Odegaard has been abysmal this season, and I think his poor stats reflect our new strategy. He’s not a very good defensive player, and his skills are wasted in the current squad, as he’s the only offensive midfielder we have, since Havertz is still very shy on the ball.
I think Arteta should bite the bullet and get us another physical midfielder, since Odegaard has been painfully impotent in the new system. He doesn’t have the skillset to be more defensive, and he’s always been isolated as an attacking midfielder this season.
That Xhaka guy would make a great 8 for us!! 😅
Enzo Fernandez, what a player. I doubted that price tag but fuck me he’s been sensational for them.
Graph also nicely shows our diminished progressive passes this season. Bet Ode is further right if this graph was plotted from last seasons data. Miss partey big time.
We spend most of the time compressing the opposition team into their own third. Honestly struggling to think of another team that would value this less than us
Man City have a higher field tilt over the season so definitely them. PSG Bayern Barca Napoli would be in the same wheelhouse as us too
Those are not the estandards. We need to be pumping up these numbers.
Onana higher than havertz 😭
bring me kokcu
It would be interesting to see where Odegard and Xhaka were last season.
