What upsets me is that Scott and Cannon Stats feels like essential reading for data nerds, despite being an Arsenal blog. I can’t quit him. This is a great dissection on this xG video I’ve shared.

It's less about problems with the stat and more about common misunderstandings (and how we can fix them)

Honest assessment from Frank on that match. Said it wasn’t anywhere near good enough.

This is the key question that Vinai, Lange, & I guess Paratici (?) should be trying to answer right now. It's never one or the other.
Thoughts on Spurs and Frank after the Brentford game.
1) Spurs are not fun to watch. With Johnson leaving, Spurs are without their best 5 attacking players from last season (2 back soon?). How much is this turgid play due to Frank and how much is lack of proven top tier PL attacking players?

Not only have we not played liquid football for a year but for as good as the beginning of Ange2 was (statistically very good!) peppered in there were losses at Ipswich, Palace, Brighton (mama mia), almost losing at Coventry playing the worst game ever (until Tamworth) and almost losing at Lester.
I just don’t know what people expect. I really don’t. We have not played liquid football for about 12 months tbh, we won Europa playing this way, too. Now take away the three players (along with Son) that contributed such a huge amount for us in terms of goals and assists.

Frog got a ladder. He put the box up on a high shelf. “There,” said Frog. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.”
“But we can climb the ladder and take the box down from the shelf and cut the string and open the box,” said Toad.
“That is true,” said Frog.

Great watch for the tactics nerds 🤓
One issue I had with our build up last year: even when we played through the press, we didn't create many numerical advantages up the field. All risk, little reward.
