I think CHambers is living off two good performances this year tbh. I've seen very little that suggests he can be a real option.
Absolutely right if he can. Not sure who's in charge of doing the deal (Gazidis?) though, whoever it was cocked up badly.But isn't it then Wenger's job to get better strikers?
More of it.Is horse **** worse than dog ****?

What would you rather have your foot caked in? Dogsh!t is like ****ing plutonium. Horseshit, in comparison, is like a lush salad.Is horse **** worse than dog ****?
A forum's no different to life mate, you're bound to meet both good and f****** up people - you know them by their comments.You are a ******* *****.
Would be interested in your take on the xG data posted on page 91.We needed to play with a more pragmatic approach from February to see out the season as the team were in a good position and with the injuries we had the players who were fit really cannot initiate the 'passing' game so it would've been wise for Arsène to alter slightly his tactics at some stage and I think its one of the decisions that has cost us.

Yeah, like all indicators they have to be treated with caution, but there's usually something you can take from them.The problem with xG and many current footballing statistics is we still don't have an accurate way of quantifying positioning which is vital to football. So as someone said earlier the problem with xG is that its not taking into account the positioning of the other team which again is a vital element. So in a vacuum a shot might look like a high percentage shot but if i reality two defenders were right in front of the shooter its not nearly as great a chance as it looks just mapped onto a static map.
A baseball game can be almost completely visualized just from the box score because of how the game is designed. Can't do that in football.
This is why overly focusing on xG and saying "well we should have scored more" is a fools errand. I'm fairly certain (I'd have to double check though) that all Wenger's team underperform on xG
Walcotts been one of our biggest disappointments this season for sure. In many respects he's similar to Vardy; not too tall, mobile, very fast and good movement in behind defenders. But for some reason he's regressed.It definitely interesting, I'd heard a bit about Expected goals before but never read up on it.
The stats about Arsenal aren't news to me as finishing has been one of our fundamental issues in the 2nd half of this season and in the 1st half of last campaign when Giroud was injured. Of course he's our primary forward and to go 16 games without a goal for a club like ours that creates a ton of chances shows your not on the level but I think the likes of Ramsey, Campbell, Walcott and even Özil himself deserves some criticism.
Personally I'd let Alexis off the hook as he was injured for around a third of the campaign yet has still managed 18 goals and 9 assists.
