I agree, but in the long term the underlying data nearly always matches the real data, even if it takes two seasons, unless there’s an improvement.We all have biases when it comes to the manager / players etc. I don't believe anyone's judging our present situation as a cold hearted observer, nor would I expect them too. We're all Arsenal fans with biases and that clouds our judgements and expectations.
When you boil it down, It's about winning football matches. No football match is won by underlying data or xG it's won by what actually happens on the pitch.
So yeah, the underlying data doesn't make great reading but until the point the actual on field results reflect that data I'm going to be happy we're doing pretty well.
