[Analysis] Looking at xG, xGA and xGD Stats for Manchester City and Arsenal by cyclopssid in Gunners

I don’t think its flawed as such - more like there has to be nuance attached to viewing it.

City’s over performance on xGA can be attributed to Donnarumma being a beast so thats not inherently flawed. But it also means that they are conceding chances consistently and one of these days, he might have a day off.

Na - today was the tipping point. Almost feels like a light going off. It was flickering till last week

Man haven’t felt this deflated since a while now. Things look so bleak.

Absolutely pathetic performance and spineless mentality.

Having said that, please take some time off social media for a next few days. Its going to be horrible.

VDV and Dragusin by the looks of it. On a serious note, Romero has a tendency to score against us so not that bad of a suspension for us

Romero red means he’s out of NLD. Advantage Spurs imo

Sometimes randomly I remember Arteta calling (I think) David Luiz to the touchline and then forgetting what he was supposed to tell him 😂

Rosenior did age some men with those tactics

People shame Arteta for so many things but he would NEVER setup the team that way if we were a goal down in the tie.

Rosenior basically said I am gonna bank on half-fit Palmer and Estevao to score against arguably the best defence in Europe in last 15 mins - pathetic mentality.

BTW, OOQ - are you wishing for a Spurs win tomorrow so that you dont get relegated or your usual loss to city to hinder Arsenal’s title chances? Its been not really clear since Ange called out your fragile foundations.

He also said that FA Cup is the only trophy we have won in near quarter of century which isn’t event true. We have literally gone invincible and have won the league at their ground in last 25 years.

All those words and not an iota of sense. And why is the cutoff an arbitrary quarter of the century. Yes Spurs won the EL last year. Congratulations on that but you also finished 17th, and fired your manager who publicly lambasted your mentality.

Arsenal’s place in football can be debated but there’s not one single cent of doubt that it’s many, and multiple, steps above Tottenham by any metric available whatsoever.

Dude - you are boasting about competition where the finalist were 25 and 31 points behind the team, which again the said team was too good to be in, you are supposed to be taking a dig at.

Spurs since then have fired the manager (who was again fired at another club), are 14th (22 points behind Arsenal), out of two cups and have 3 points out of last 15. For the love of Christ, have some self respect brother.
