The second instalment in out series of members articles focussing on team statistics takes a look at the defensive side of things. We analyse the last six Gameweeks, checking the key indicators to assess each side in terms of potential defensive returns…
What Arsenal would give for a time machine to o back and get Dixon, Winterburn, Bould, Adams, and Seaman back..
Open Controls
Bould's on the coaching staff, maybe he could do a Scholes.
Open Controls
or just tried to keep Cesc, Van Persie, Nasri and Clichy
Open Controls
Oh man! We don't get to see him eat his d**k! 🙂
Open Controls
That's why you don't play Cazorla out wide.....he won't track back.
Tie over.Open Controls
Lahm was SO alone on that goal. And he sprinted 30 yards to get there.
Open Controls
although the players have played poorly, wenger got his tactics wrong
Open Controls
Overrated player, doesn't cut it against top sides.
Open Controls
If you're a goober do you want Mourinho now? Ugly football and trophies must seem attractive...
Open ControlsYou think Jose will go to a team that doesn't buy big-time stars and has a limited wage bill? Doesn't match the profile of team management he prefers 😀
Open Controls
Speaking of Mandzukic, guess who's leading Forca's H2H league? 😉
Open Controls
George McFly is on 🙂
Open Controls
No one would have predicted this 3-1 scoreline! Arsenal almost won a trophy today
Open Controls
lol gomez
Open Controls
Looks like my prediction was right 😉 Arsenal 1 - Bayern 3
Open Controls
So, where will Wilshere go when he wants to win something? It really is like that, unfortunately.
Open ControlsMaybe to Liverpool, if he wants to win an FA cup
Open Controls
+billions
Open ControlsPhil Jones is already a poor man's Wilshere
Open Controls
I can't believe Arsenal fans thought they had a chance in this tie, a lot of English fans are very ignorant to how good teams in other countries actually are
Open Controls
Which Arsenal fans? No-one sensible thought anyone other than Bayern were favourites.
Open Controlshaha well just the fans on Arsenal Mania forum and a few people I know at home
Open Controls
+1 remember when Arsenal all thought they'd walk over Shalke
Open ControlsPeople were saying the same about Utd's chances v Real.
Open Controls
Soooo does Arsene now play is second team in the second leg and rest players for the Prem? Maybe he should have played is best team for the FA Cup and not the Champs League.
Open Controls
Rosiscki so bad....
Open ControlsDuh.
Who isn't?Open Controls
Never a yellow. 😉
Open ControlsTalking of resting players I can remember the Liverpool team of the 70's and early 80's when we saw the same 11 or 12 players every single game all season. What changed???
Open ControlsThe pace of the game
Open Controls+1
not sure where this 'resting' business has come from. When do Messi and Ronaldo need to rest?!Open ControlsYeah I don't get it "my players are tired" from what? All the playstatiion?
Open ControlsAye it's a tough life! Ninety minutes every 7 days isn't a lot to ask. Pace of game is a weak reason. To be fair it's Rafa that annoys me the most. He seems intent on destroying good runs and solid teams through his rotations.
Open Controls
The pace of the game is much faster, and there are fewer chances to have a breather (no pass-back rule then).
Open Controls
Gerry Byrne playing almost the entire FA Cup final with a broken collarbone, those were the days. 😉
Open ControlsBert Trautmann with a broken neck!
Open Controls
I remember some impressive stats a few years back showing how many players a team had used over the season. The number used reflected the final league positions almost exactly with the teams using fewest players at the top.
I guess it's partly explained by the fact that losing teams keep trying something new but mostly demonstrates the strength of a settled team in my opinion.Open ControlsSpot on.
Open Controls
Bayern at 2.0 was free money. Man to score and BM to win at 3 was more free money.
Open ControlsAll we need to restore PL supremacy is for Chelsea to win the Europa Cup.
Open Controls
Or United to beat Real Madrid
Open Controls
Predictons for AC Milan v Barca?
Open Controls0-2
Open Controls
Smile, if you're an Arsenal fan, it could have been much worse
Open Controls
Not even a handshake from Wenger at the end? 🙄
Open Controls
It's over. Only a 3-0 would put them through in 90 mins...so unlikely
Open Controls
4-0 would also put them through 😉
