@Jury @rich 1990 @farzad4daarse Not sure who this idiot is or why he’s qualified to speak about football, can’t believe another person has fallen for this BS stat.

I'm not going to take opinions of that gargoyle.

I can’t believe the Saliba thread has dropped down to page two. What on earth is going on in this place???

I don’t get your fascination with proving the validity of Xg to skeptics. I voiced my areas of concern. Thomas Tuchel and I will have to differ on Xg. I think it is ok to look at it in a body of stats I just wouldn’t weigh it much. He is the manager he is supposed to micromanage his team, I am sure he looks at tons of data. At the end of the day I make decisions and so does Tuchel at actual results not expected ones.

This is genuinely the last thing I want to see

Nobody wants to see it less than me, but there’s an air of inevitability about Arteta.

Please do not post the thoughts of a clear Satanist in this forum ever again please. Getting serious dark energy vibes from this lunatic.

In fact just ban "xG" altogether, even saying it probably has unknown consequences.

It's such a worry how so many are buying into this Voodoo.

You guys really need to create strawmen, no one has argued any of the ridiculous things you claim. But if it gets you a few laughs just make **** up. Claiming you don’t believe Xg is a very good measure is not the same thing as saying all stats are lies. This is like the nonsense logic of antivaxer, do you think Bill gates wants to track you or something?

I am just taking lazy shots at Artetasexuals, relax.
And I don't need to create any strawman, check out Arsenal twitter after a bad result and you'll see any kind of mental gymnastics to praise/defend Arteta.
We got battered by top teams but guys like arseblog cums in his pants because the average age of our players was 23 years old.

All these talks about xWhatever. I could not give a damn about that. I get that people use it as a measureing stick, but stats are not holy. We got battered by Chelsea, City and Liverpool and scraped some points agains the lesser teams of the PL.

I judge what I see on the pitch, and it has been poor for most of the time. Some good performances, but that usually doesn't take very long. I look at the table, and I see a team that sits at 5th with a GD of -5. That is bloody dreadful. All we can be happy for is that we got the points.

During the matches there are some bright lights, but I still don't really see anything that we will improve in the attacking side of things. I will give credit to our defence, there is some stability in there. But we cannot keep counting on that to get by the rest of the season.

So everytime Arteta loses, it's because he has had a ridiculous amount of bad luck?

Agreed!

The xWhatever told us exactly that we got battered by Chelsea, City and Liverpool and scraped some points against lesser teams of the PL though

I like Arseblog overall, though I disagree with him plenty.

The latest Arsecast was a very tough listen.

Gunnerblog literally can't fault the manager, the line "there are no men in this team" was uttered without a hint if irony and it almost made me want to crash my car into a ditch to make it make sense somehow.

Let's make it a bit more simple, what's Chelsea and Arsenal GD respectively?

Then, let's look at how many goals Arsenal has scored from open play and subtract the jammy ones.

Gee, those numbers probably don't have any correlation With any other stars right?

 

[Maybe]

I will give credit to our defence, there is some stability in there. But we cannot keep counting on that to get by the rest of the season.

We are yet to see if the stability there is the result of parking the bus most of the time or it's actually a solid defense. We are not getting anywhere with the whole team being focused on defending and the manager picking players based on how much dirty work they are willing to do for him. We are gonna suffer in the attack with that approach

 

[Paperino]

Arseblog is a Arteta-shill like his loser friend at The Athletic.

Spot on. Defending deep with men behind the ball is the easiest thing to coach in football, guys like Allardyce, Dyche and Hodgson have had great careers off it.

I really think we have really good individual defenders now, they can cope with the team pushing up and being more expansive. All the evidence now does just point to Arteta being a negative manager and/or not being able to coach attacking football.

It collapsed at the first sign of real trouble so I wouldn’t say it was solid. It panicked.

I makes you wonder what Mikel thinks and does when he sees out XG stats.

Does anyone know if a reporter ever asked about our awful XG during a presser?
