Nice rage bait

That's horror

The score is 1-0, think Arsenal need a recognized number 9

Just realized this is the Portuguese League

He's at 30% in the UCL which is less good but not awful. 36% in the Championship 22/23, 27% in the Championship 21/22

He's probably going to be below average in the air (Gabriel Jesus level), and hopefully that's OK

Thanks to Arteta conditioning me, this was one of the areas I was most down about re the signing - a nice reassurance, I find duel percentages rather than sheer volume to be a more useful measure

Cool! Is it a sign up or pop by situation?
July 18, 2025 at 9:06 AM
Good points - overall though, they do say they are not keen on Eze at that price, the same with Cunha

So mildly different rhetoric but same conclusion

Stronger parts of his game being: carrying the ball, getting shots off, creating shots from taking people on, creating chances for others (surprise)

Weaker parts of his game being: miscontrolling or turning over the ball, competing in the air, completing passes

More or less what we expect?
July 8, 2025 at 1:09 PM
The lots of shots saved one is confusing, seeing as he is a career plus finisher

I guess he took a lot of shots that weren’t really on but still did a decent job of getting them on target

Could be team or situation related

My bet now is he performs roughly in line with those guys, with the

Did not score as many goals, despite taking more shots and having more shots on target. Was weird, seems like a lot of shots saved

Also notable that in addition to carrying more, he received way more progressive passes, but had way more miscontrols and turnovers

What’s the find in all this noise?

Hi Scott - a fun exercise I started but don’t know how to complete

I compared Gyokeres two years in the championship to those of guys we know went on to do well in the Prem

Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins, Dom Solanke

Looks like he carries the ball and creates a lot more than those guys, but

Sign of knowing ball

I think we only do two deals and I’m sweeter on Rodrygo plus Madueke over Rodrygo plus Eze or Eze plus Madueke

All depends on prices, for all above I assume £40m fixed fee for Madueke and £60m fixed fee for Eze

Fair enough but this one ain't it

It's time!

Let's call a spade a spade - it would be an excellent signing
July 5, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Yeah, a charge is huge and there is most likely no smoke without fire, but let’s see how this plays out (said knowing that as with Diddy a not guilty verdict wouldn’t necessarily mean he’s not guilty)

In any case, this L was loading for years. At least there will be no smear on our upcoming trophy
July 4, 2025 at 2:46 PM
I agree, unfortunately I don’t have the strength to do that. In this moment I hope Partey gets punished if guilty, but find the personal attacks and questions on Arteta’s personality disingenuous. I imagine he knows Partey personally and operates under the premise he is innocent
July 4, 2025 at 2:42 PM
Arsenal fans: it’s a disgrace the club kept Partey even it was a difficult decision

Also Arsenal fans, myself included: of course I didn’t boycott or stop watching games, that would be too a difficult decision

More xG, more shorts - Eze I think is player 1

when I looked earlier in the year Xavi Simons overall numbers were great, comparable to Wirtz and Odegaard in terms of being a high touch, creative attacking midfielder

Eze is lower touch, more take-ons, more shots
July 2, 2025 at 7:21 AM
Pretty wide range of outcomes there!
