Good thread. This is worrying look how deep laca is he rarely have touches in the box and he is our striker.
Nope, we have more than one bullet, we need our gun slinger to load them in the gun. Pepe, Özil, Nelson.Auba is our only bullet...and suppose he doesnt fire?
true... at some point we have to look at our arsenal and use the big guns.Nope, we have more than one bullet, we need our gun slinger to load them in the gun. Pepe, Özil, Nelson.
Thanks man, you never disappoint!@Moah @RunTheTrap
Nothing surprising here. Midfielders stay on the half way line and rarely venture forward. They collect the ball from our defenders and send it back out wide.
Xhaka's heatmap is identical to Elneny's but just in reverse on the left.
AMN and Kolasinac have had one start each in the league, there's nothing to really take from that.
Yeah, people keep saying how bad Lacazette is but I made a table showing the amount of passes received in the final third by strikers in the league.
This included every striker who has made 5 starts or more so far. Table speaks for itself.
This is inline with Athletics article about our struggling attack, take a look at the teams at the bottom of the below table. Different metrics, but they both measure progression in the final third and the order of teams almost matches my table.
Yes, yes I know Lacazette is the worst striker on the planet I get it, but its not entirely his fault. Our attack needs work.

He’s doing a bad job with our attack but he’s done some things I like. I should probably talk that up more.Seems like you stats guys just want to say Arteta is doing a bad job but want to be diplomatic about it.
Cheers man, I actually feel like I have taken it a bit far and come across anti Arteta when I am not.Just came to read some since a pretty long while.
Have to say @Macho you really deserve that Trusted status. Great contribution from you this whole thread.
Seems like objective criticism on AM. Am I dreaming?
The Pepe one is a bit weird as his touch map is almost worthless, the most you can get from that is his starting position.So is Willian touching the ball more offensively than Pepe? What is happening there? Is Arteta instructing Willian to be offensive but Pepe defensive? Or is Arteta looking at these maps and see that Willian is better than Pepe in this regard atm and hence(with various other reasons) picking him instead of Pepe?
The touch map for our forwards so far in the league, as I noticed its a hot topic atm.
Any other players you want to see, let me know and I will see what I can do.
Don't expect this to stay up too long- I expect these to be taken down as the website I got it from don't like it - its behind a paywall.
Arsenal touch maps
Auba
Laca
Willian
Pepe
Saka
If I was to put it in numbers, Saka has the most touches in our opponents half and is our most advanced player so far - he's just a bit wide.
Rival touch maps
Grealish
Calvert-Lewin
Bamford
Kane
Vardy
Thank you for the hard work mate@Moah @RunTheTrap
