He only rates expensive players from France that underachieve and don't live up to the price tag.His feud against our young players always gets me laughing

I only rate Holding, Auba and Saka in this squad that's actually a diverse cast. Pepe can have a 0/10 performance and you'll blame Hale End somehow lool.You only rate tall white lads what's your point?

The Chain stats are where multiple players are involved in buildup I think, so they are used to show how one player improves the team buildup play whereas xT seems to be about the involvement of a single player... Might be wrong thoughYeah it's new. It essentially covers the blind spots that xG and xA do not.

These are literally perfect examples. The acute angle where Kolasinac and Pepe are on the pitch, their xG would be quite low but the chances of a goal coming from their actions and position are quite high.
Expected threat would be a better way to measure their effectiveness in this scenario. Where I get confused is when xG and xA chain comes into it, that's where it starts becoming nonsense for me but I digress.

I swear they're just gonna go through every letter of the alphabet and slap X in front of it and make up some important stat. I'm starting to think these Stat companies are scammers.I get it but yeah
It's also kind of admitting xG and xA is flawed.
I think people have let Mbappe, Halaand and Sancho skew their views on young talents in terms of end product. A lot of young players take time to start producing consistent end product at the highest level.
Even Cristiano took about 3 seasons in the EPL of consistent football before he started looking like a consistent threat every game to score or provide and assist. Ferguson was very patient with him through his many frustrating games with poor decision making and forcing the issue.
Saka and ESR should not be the main focus for end product on this team being 19/20 year olds. Expensive signings who are meant to be in their primes like Pepe, Auba, Laca should be the main source of goals on this team.
We should have gone for someone like Buendia who has proven he can contribute with goals and assists and still be a prominent link up player. But is seems Aston Villa are even more attractive than Arsenal these days.

But when I say Pepe would be devastating under Wenger you accuse me of making excuses for him. Allow it. If my auntie had wheels she'd be a bike.
Country: England
Some might even say if he's as good as some fans think he is then he'd have scored when he had that clear shot at goal, but i guess doing a good dribble and then a weak shot is good enough for an Arsenal no. 10 these days
Stick to your stats, mate, it's the best you can do, because according to this
you certainly can't read a football match with your eyes.

You do seem to enjoy when our young players do badly though.
Surely out of all our team, they should be the ones you cut the most slack, no?
Country: England
I don't enjoy at all and you'll find in this very thread me calling them our best players.
I just think a lot of you guys opinions are wack and contradictory at the best of times, there's a big difference.

I don't think you can be a football fan, without your opinion contradicting an earlier opinion you had...the nature of the game encourages an emotional response, which isn't always the most well thought out.
Good to know you don't dislike the young players though, you just dislike some posters on here

Ødegaard is coming unlucky.Stick to your stats, mate, it's the best you can do, because according to this
Indeed unlucky for Arsenal fans. Bookmark this.
