Arsenal - 2024/25

[GoonerBear]

That's strange, FotMob has Arsenal at 35 xG (7th), Fbref is at 34 xG (8th) and Sofascore has 35 xG as well.

Not related directly to this but I have found Understat's stats a bit weird when compared to other websites, so I don't refer to them.

I'm not sure we are necessarily disagreeing anyway. Our attacking output has tailed off a bit, whether that's tactical, personnel, injuries, fatigue, we can all see it has, both in terms of chance creation and finishing.

I think most agreed even last summer we needed more there in terms of quantity & quality. That's even more evident now.

I don't think they created one single big chance against us while we had 11 players on the pitch.

Don't think either team did until Gabriel fell and which gave Garnacho the freedom of our half to run into.

You set up well. You set up well vs Liverpool. Think everyone has acknowledged that, no?

Mainoo had a shot saved in the first half but yeah, it was rather quiet up until the second half.

It's a little bit more shocking for the home team, overwhelmingly favourite in the tie. As for the second part of your message, I got the feeling the poster was more referencing your lack of cutting edge and incapacity to create from open play rather than our set-up (which was good indeed, and I don't think anyone would dispute it, but that doesn't change that it should be worrying for Arsenal to be just quite so toothless).
