Mikel Arteta Thread

So what constitutes a key pass then. Is it an assist or not?

It's:

Key Pass
The final pass or pass-cum-shot leading to the recipient of the ball having an attempt at goal without scoring.

In other words, chances created excluding assists.

And you're saying Arteta had the most in Europe bar Xavi and Pirlo?

Wow.

And all from DM.

That's quite impressive.

Just really underlines how great he's been for us.

Not this season, the season before.

Can you check the stats of how many shots our defenders have had?

Must be pretty high as all Arteta does is pass to them

so you argue that arteta isnt creative enough, someone shows you that he third highest player with key passes, you then try and dismiss that.

Shows me?

Where?

All he did was tell me. Am I supposed to accept that?

I've seen Arteta more than enough times to make my own judgement and I'm not far off being spot on about him.

What was your opinion on Gilberto Silva?

Not sure where the stat mentioned above comes from. I found these though:

(Arteta is 5th in the PL)

So being behind only Pirlo and Xavi was bs?

Thought as much
