Is Kai really midfielder? Lol
Arsenal = Good ?
We spend most of the time compressing the opposition team into their own third. Honestly struggling to think of another team that would value this less than us
Man City have a higher field tilt over the season so definitely them. PSG Bayern Barca Napoli would be in the same wheelhouse as us too
Fofana scores well again 🫡
This is something we’re lacking a bit right now. Through balls and line breaking passes up the middle. Ode coming back will help but we’re gonna need more penetrative passing from the midfield in general
Agree, feel like most of our through balls are long passes from the back 4 and they’re most often shitty
Enzo Fernandez, what a player. I doubted that price tag but fuck me he’s been sensational for them.
Graph also nicely shows our diminished progressive passes this season. Bet Ode is further right if this graph was plotted from last seasons data. Miss partey big time.
Hard to hit a through pass when teams are camped around their box. But we can still improve here
I feel like this team has outgrown Odegaard. Arteta has obviously decided to abandon the balls to the wall attacking strategy, and has settled for a more Mourinho-esque smash and grabs in order to sustain stamina in the PL “marathon”.
Odegaard has been abysmal this season, and I think his poor stats reflect our new strategy. He’s not a very good defensive player, and his skills are wasted in the current squad, as he’s the only offensive midfielder we have, since Havertz is still very shy on the ball.
I think Arteta should bite the bullet and get us another physical midfielder, since Odegaard has been painfully impotent in the new system. He doesn’t have the skillset to be more defensive, and he’s always been isolated as an attacking midfielder this season.
Always find this style of graph is absolutely useless after a certain point
If you’re ever wondering why Jorginho plays ao often, Rice’s position here is your answer
Onana higher than havertz 😭
That Xhaka guy would make a great 8 for us!! 😅
Didn’t realize United reclassified Onana as a midfielder.
Is that 🔼 + L1 or just 🔼?
There you go Havertz haters. See? He has a better through ball accuracy than Maddison and Enzo Fernandez
