The Members’ Area has now been updated with the OPTA data from all today’s games so far. Our Members can therefore get on with picking apart what, to this point, has been a most disappointing day for the majority – epitomised by Arsenal’s inability to break down Sunderland at the Emirates.
From a cursory glance at the stats so far, Members should look under “Distribution & Influence” for another dominant performance from West Ham’s Scott Parker, with Mark Noble and Thomas Hitzlesperger not far behind. Damien Duff’s two goals were also coupled with an impressive array of stats – while Mikel Arteta appears to show a clear improvement on recent showings. Indeed, looking at the team stats, West Ham and Everton appear to be the day’s big performers – an encouraging sign ahead of the Toffee’s second fixture with Birmingham on Wednesday.
Further stats will be uploaded following the Man City vs Wigan clash.
