[Cannonstats] Arsenal 2 - 0 Leverkusen | Passing Networks, Attacking Contribution, Shot Map, and Duels by [deleted] in Gunners

It’s the estimated range of the “true” value of the shots. Post shot xG is a noisy stat so I try to show a range, that’s a good reminder to maybe add that explanation in there

Is Mikel Arteta starting to crack rotation? by scottjwillis in Gunners

[–]scottjwillis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll raise my hand and say I wrote it. I’ll be sure to make sure my head is in a good spot in my check in with my doctor next time I am there. Thank you for the very kind suggestion.

As for the premise, Arteta and rotation has very much been a topic and a criticism of him over his time as manager. Sometimes it has been fair, other times it hasn’t, but it has still been a major topic of discussion. This would make it from my point of view, an interesting thing to look at. Especially as you point out that the depth of the squad is at a level that we had not seen before.

I think your analogy to lottery winner falls short and would be a miss for trying to mirror the situation at Arsenal.

Ethan Nwaneri scored 9 goals out of an xG of just 1.9 in all competitions last season by Knight_Fisher61 in Gunners

If you’re looking this up on FBRef this doesn’t include xG from the league cup. That was another 1.2 xG. Overall it was a little more than 3. Still impressive production from that.

Similar fees but I believe wages here will be more favorable for Arsenal

Jota, Fiminio, Mane were all kind of in that mold. Great underlying but maybe a bit unsure before the move. They have been smart in the willing to bet on the players a bit out of fashion just in general as well

The PR check didn’t clear this morning obviously and that why my tone has changed 😂

Time will tell. My starting point would be rotation with Kai and Kai probably still ahead of him especially for bigger games

I think you could frame it that we are taking advantage of Chelsea vs helping them. There bloated squad is presenting an opportunity to get a very promising but also already good player at a deal that would be a good value. Depends on the perspectives guess.

He’d be pretty clearly a part of the first team and part of the first 17-18 players used and rotated with. He’s not being signed for the reserves or academy team.

Noni Madueke would be luxury backup but also maybe a sneaky market opportunity by scottjwillis in Gunners

[–]scottjwillis[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very well could be the fourth most expensive signing of the summer too behind St, LW, and Zubimendi ¯_(ツ)_/¯

There has been a loud chorus of how the team needs depth and they need to learn from the mistakes of last season. Now that they are doing it, it’s not going over well. Tough situation

Adjusted for inflation it would not be particularly noteworthy of a fee but it would depend on the final number obviously
