Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

I’m not talking about on a personal level I’m talking about as a player

I have no idea nor do I especially care what players are like as people, unless it’s causing disharmony which has a detrimental effect on team performance

So for any avoidance of doubt I mean you dislike Martinelli as a player, I think he’s an exceptionally good player who has been mismanaged. There’s something I’ve seen of Nico Williams that makes me think he’s anything special, he’s another pace merchant who looks good when he’s got space to operate in but there’s just as many times where he’s reminded me of Gervinho.

Lookman got his chance of premier league football with Everton….a hard pass.

Well its clear I don't rate his style of play, he's to heavily reliant on speed and makes the wrong decision more often than not. Like I said, I'd take a Trossard on form over him any day of the week. But that's not saying much as I'd take a lot of players on form over him also.

BTW, Gervinho is another player who had an excellent career after leaving us and was pretty well rated by fans of his subsequent clubs. It was quite unusual for AW to give up on a star signing as fast as he gave up on Gervinho. The guy seems to be quite bitter about us anytime he's interviewed, one would have thought he'd be thankful about the experience.

Gervinho had a couple of ok seasons with Roma and then faded into obscurity, guy was a headless chicken

I think Martinelli also has excellent dribbling ability, my main issue with him is that he should take on the fullback more rather than cut inside.

Trossard is good on the ball but has never had decent pace, for me he’s always been best as an impact sub rather than a starter

Couple of observations in comparing this season to last season

We played 52 games last season but in the first 50 (the amount of games we have played this season) we conceded 41 goals in all games (the amount of goals we have conceded this season)

The difference is goals scored is less big than I would have imagined (we scored 11 more goals, 110 rather than the 99 games we have this season)


But then you have to factor in context, we scored a lot more goals in Europe this season (30 in 12 as opposed to 19 in 10 last season). That and the two non premier league teams we scored 8 goals against in the league cup.


We had scored 75 goals in 32 league games last season, 18 more than we have managed this season.


Although 9 of those 18 goals were spot kicks (we’ve only been awarded pels in one game this season)


The breakdown always appears to be the difference in results when we score two goals or more, or one goal or fewer


44% of the games this season we’ve scored 1 goal or none - 5 wins 11 draws 6 defeats


56% of the games this season we’ve scored 2 goals or more - 24 wins, 4 draws



This season when we’ve scored a single goal we’ve won 5 and drawn 8


Last season we won 6, Drew 3 and lost 3


So if it appears that we are dropping more points from winning positions, it’s largely because there are fewer occasions where we have a lead of more than one goal.

The top five is looking a bit tight this morning. We really need to get three points today.

we do indeed - while we do need to manage the squad, not least because Palace will be a lot tougher than this, we also need to get the job done

Quite liked Arteta’s subs today. Felt like he got the job done and managed to protect key players.

Yep…can’t complain. I think it’s one of those games this season which was remarkable in that everything went our way…which is such a rare thing. A totally incompetent team…the only player who I think will stay in the premier league when Ipswich go down is Liam Delap. The referees actually properly punished a nasty challenge on our players and we were able to take players off at our leisure

Can’t really ask for more

I noticed that myself a while ago. Didn't completely understand it tbh.

Could probably sell the domain for a decent amount though

That hadn’t even occurred to me.
I have two questions. “How much?” and “give it to me”
