Would be more than happy to escape Scouseonia with a point.
Gambling is a mugs game.Get yourself to the bookies mate, a 3-0 win for Arsenal at Anfield will get you some pretty substantial winnings.
Line-up, which took 1-5 beating at Anfield last season. Only about 5 players should start again. We had dream team at the back.
Auba was isolated. He made only 10 passes in 71 minutes. For this game he needs Lacazette supporting him.
We had more possession 52% vs 48%, but were out shot 8-15.
Defence was shambles on that day. Missed tackles, falling instead of tackling, missed kicks. Refereeing was as bad as our defence.
That team wasn't so bad on paper. The performance was inexcusable. Never felt confident after going 1-0 up. Mustafi was a calamity.
There is still a gear we must go up. Hopefully it happens as players return.
I wouldn't say so, it's a continuation of last season and is suggestive of the first two games at least. I understand wanting a larger sample size as that will tell us more, but it's still relevant. At least, our numbers are. The rankings not so much, yet.That's a nothing stat considering we're only two games in.
The first match should be entirely written off, don't think we'll field such a weak side again for the entire season. And I think we created a decent number of chances against Burnley. I don't know about this xG thing, does it count shots like Guendouzi's strike and Ceballos strike as attempts? Why not just count the shots on target, whats wrong with that.I wouldn't say so, it's a continuation of last season and is suggestive of the first two games at least.

Early days, but through the first two games we've relied on Auba and Laca to bail us out and cover for average performances. Same as last season.There is still a gear we must go up. Hopefully it happens as players return.
We had two of the easier opening fixtures of any team, so the rankings flatter us if anything. We'll see, I'm hoping for the best. Emery seems like a good guy, I really do wish for him to succeed here.Early days, but through the first two games we've relied on Auba and Laca to bail us out and cover for average performances.

All shots are counted, yes, but with differing values depending on the quality of the chances. That should include position, angle, how defenders were marking, etc.The first match should be entirely written off, don't think we'll field such a weak side again for the entire season.
