TF S4DK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 From earlier...Man Utd have dropped 14 points from winning positions this season, Arsenal 13. Arsenal have dropped seven points from games where they have had a two goal lead, joint-most with Blackpool. Man Utd have dropped 4.Samir Nasri's goal against Tottenham was Arsenal's fourth from outside the penalty area in the Premier League this season. Last season they scored 18. Outside box goal: Fabregas fluke v Sunderland, Chamakh's 2nd v Wolves, RVP free kick v Birmingam & Nasri last night. None at home.7% of Arsenal's goal haul is from outside the box, compared to 12% for the Premier League as a whole & 22% last season for the Gunners.Outside box 2009-10 v 2010-11 Goals 18-4 Conversion 10%-3%Accuracy 44%-38%Shots/game 7.1-6.2% Shots outside box 38%-32% Arsenal have conceded the same number of goals (34) as they had after 33 games of last season, but have scored nine fewer.In the trophyless years, Arsenal have done better in the 2nd half of the 2 seasons when they have bought a 1st teamer in the January window. Adebayor (plus Diaby & Walcott) in 2005-06 & Arshavin in 2008-09 5 - Bolton have hit the woodwork least often this season (five times), Arsenal the most (21). Vibrations.Did anyone notice that Spurs can now mathematically not win the title this season? Officially 50 years without winning the league!Arsenal have conceded nine penalties in the Premier League, more than any other team.Arsenal have won none of the eight Premier League games this season where they have conceded a penalty - W0 D4 L4.56% of the goals Arsenal have conceded have come from set pieces - the highest percentage in the top flight.Only Everton (29%) have conceded a higher percentage of goals from headers than Arsenal this season 26%.19% of Arsenal's goals have been scored from set pieces - the lowest proportion in the top flight.If Arsenal do not win all four of their remaining matches, they will end the season with fewer points than they earned in 2009-10Interesting to note that our 2007-08, 2009-10 & 2010-11 seasons have all arguably begun faltering with implosions against Birmingham.Arsenal have completed 156 out of 813 crosses, giving them a 19% success rate, the 2nd worst after Man City.13% of Arsenal's goals have been headers (9 in total) - only Man City & Wigan have scored a lower proportion via this route. Clichy's cross success is 16%. Should point out that crossing accuracy is affected by quality of the cross, but also numbers in penalty boxAshley Cole's is only 18%, Bacary Sagna 20%. PL average is 20% excluding corners.Arsenal 9 wins with a clean sheet, Chelsea 13, Man Utd 11 Premier League Save % figures Almunia 61%, Lehmann 67%, Fabianski 71%, Szczesny 73%, The Premier League average save % is 69%, Szczesny is behind 7 other 'keepers but better than Mark Schwarzer.Arsenal's record when scoring in 1st half in the Premier League W16 D4 L1.

HangTheDJ Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Think Arsenal are just performing about their level.X Keeper, Clichy and Song are not good enough to be regulars for a title winning side. Koscielney is a very poor Premier League player. The forwards are not clinical enough.Koscielney's signing just sums up everything that is wrong with Wenger's transfer policy in recent years. Awful, awful signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF S4DK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Lol, we looking too much at individuals. Why is everyone pining our defensive game on Alex Song? Lol. Arsenal don't defend well as a TEAM.The best player in the world closes down players when he loses the ball. Nasri, Walcott, Arshavin stroll back and pass the buck on...

Michel Kane Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Fam, Wenger plays Nicklas Bendnter as a RW.That should tell you something. Thought it was a fluid front 3 where the forwards can move where they like?Lol @ calling Walcott productiveLol @ rating Alex SongLol @ thinking Vela would score as many as Hernandez_________ > some Arsenal fansAt its best, a 4-3-3 has its forwards moving fluidly & inter-changing positions.. United, Real Madrid, Barcelona are/were good examples of that. Forgive me for having faith in our manager's tactical ability & over-estimating. If you don't think Walcott is productive for us & is a crucial player, than just lulz. Whether he's productive ENOUGH or should he be AS crucial, is another debate. But lol @ denying the former.And I'm not going to repeat what I said about Vela. No point quarreling with someone who doesn't even back up his disagreement & then says ______________ >>> Arsenal.Nonce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF S4DK Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The 4-3-3 is positional interchangeable, Wenger gives them license. I think we all in agreement there...However you suggested that Wenger is somewhat clueless cos he plays Bendtner there.Yet if we clock when Bendtner comes on for Walcott, or starts there his movement and interchanging is way way way worse than Walcott's. To me thats a fail on Bendtner's part not Wenger's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
