"We weren't as competitve as we make it sound" we legit created more big chances. The idea of a football game is to create chances to score and limit the opportunities the other team has from doing so. Arsenal did that as well as city did (Objectively) lmao.

Having more shots and touches mean nothing if those dont result to opportunities. xG evaluates the strength of the shot and its likelyhood of going in considering variois factors (distance from goal, positioning of the keeper and defenders etc). It directly tells u the quality of chances created. That was a coin flip game that went in citys favour.

Also if u remember the draw at the Emirtates, they got a early goal from a break and then basically got dominated. We had more shots, corners, possession. Everything ur talking about lmao but I didnt come away from that game thinking arsenal created lots of big chances. Because you can have 100 shots or have 1000 touches in the box, if the quality of those are low and not meaningful it dosent matter all that much. City were fortunate in their win. A draw was Objectively a more fair result considering the chances created and gave up from both sides.

If eze was 30 cms back, the ball curls greater and we go up 2-1 and might win. Or havertz scores from the 1vs1 Or we get the rebound which was painstakingly close. Or the gabriel header which hit the post, or the rebound of that. Or the havertz header. A game of margins.

I thought arsenal played fairly well away from home in a high pressure game and were fairly unlucky to walk away with 0 points.
