Interesting indeed.

Think we'll also see more of a directness return to our play for the second half of the season. I think our more patient style this season has preserved our legs more, and given us a better chance on the injury front.

The directness will get more out of Marintelli, Saka and Nketiah as well. Which is what we need to do more.

Over a longer period of time, these things average out.

The problem here is that Gabby's finishing has evened out over a long period of time - he's consistently a significantly below XG finisher. We're going to stay below XG while we hope he's going to score goals for us.

Hmmm not sure I like this chart - the classification into "title winning form", "UCL form" etc. seems a bit arbitrary to me as it uses pure xGD/90 which can fluctuate wildly per season - e.g., the 99 pt Liverpool champion team had an xGD/90 of < 1 ffs while 2nd place City who finished 18 pts behind had an xGD/90 > 1.

According to this chart, that Liverpool team weren't in "title winning form". Indeed, it considers our 100 pt pace start last season to not be in title winning form. Isn't that objectively rubbish? Am I reading this chart incorrectly?

When you say it I agree. Maybe the classification into the groups needs to be defined better?
 

Arsenal Quotes

When I am asked why I stayed at Arsenal so long.. my answer is simple; I never wanted to be anywhere else. I could have earned a lot more elsewhere, but that wouldn't compensate for all the good years at Highbury.
