Drew yesterday due to a penalty and a freak cross. I think Arteta is focusing on the xg against so far this season. Plus we’ve lost Timber who was bought specifically for that inverted role, Partey has been out for most of the season and the front three have only played together like twice.
Not too concerned yet but the attack needs to improve.
Imo anyway.
A penalty we’d never get in a million years as well.
We’ve been given more penalties than any other team this season.
Nobody is denying that, I think what is being said here is if the offence is “on the fence” it usually doesn’t go our way.
For instance, Sanchez on Jesus. Some argue it is not a pen, some argue it is. We tend to get the clear stone wall ones.
implication being the usual bullshit that referees are bias against arsenal right? Weird they’d give us all these penalties if that was the case, don’t you think? Stonewall or not; why do they care if they’re that anti-arsenal?
Makes a change
Yeah but we would not have got that. It wouldn’t even have been a discussion. It was too close between contact with mudryks head and salibas hand.
It could be worse. We are undefeated and tied on points with a treble winning team having just beaten them. Now we’ve got a lot of players back from injury.
Agreed - I think our fans were glossing over the fact in the xG charts/tables that we’ve had 5 pens so far which counts for almost 4 goals in terms of xG (although all the pens were clear pens)
