Stats Archives: 07/2020

You can argue all you like, but Arsenal got screwed all season by referees and here are the stats to back that up.

As I was reading  through the papers during the week, I was stopped by Jason’ Burt’s article in the Telegraph that was supposed to be praising Mikel Arteta but just ended up insulting Arsenal, their fans, and Nicolas Pepe.

Arsenal spent 38 days in the Top Four of the Premier League this season, but that’s almost twice as many as Manchester United who are probably going to finish there while we wallow in mid-table mediocrity.

If you wanted to measure whether subs help or hinder a side, it will take a lot more than just looking at the naked numbers.

Only one player in England has scored more goals than Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang since the Gabon striker arrived in the country – and he’s played for a much, much better side.

Arsenal beating Manchester City 2-0 after accruing a 2-20 scoreline across the previous seven matches was not the only headline to emerge from their semi-final Wembley win.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will start against Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday in search of his first FA Cup goal for Arsenal this season and Mikel Arteta has backed him to handle the pressure even though he has never scored against City before.

The Arsenal midfield aren’t creating enough chances, which is part of what made it so easy for Tottenham Hotspur to shut them down on Sunday.

For a while, it didn’t seem like much had changed since Mikel Arteta took over but with Arsenal’s fourth win in a row, including an away win above a side above us and two back-to-back cleansheets, things seem to be slowly heading in the right direction.

Despite only starting 15 games this season, Emi Martinez has now kept as many clean sheets as Tottenham Hotspur in 2019/20.

Arsenal won their fourth game in a row, with yet another cleansheet, as they beat Wolves 2-0 thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka and Alexandre ‘what is an away goal’ Lacazette.
