Not exact matches
Atleast in the
early part of last season, we saw an Arsene Wenger that was willing to go into games with a pragmatic approach, closing out games with 1 - 0 leads and lesser
possession stats!
Once Arsenal score an
early goal or lineup against a good passing team their
possession stats takes a tumble, they then lose their shape, every Arsenal player drop deep and defend.
We all know that
stats can be misleading in football, such as all the
possession and extra chances and shots on target that the Gunners were having
earlier in the season, while the fans watching the game could see that we were not playing well enough to win.
This season they've had only 60.9 percent of
possession, the lowest total since at least 2009 - 10, which is the
earliest season for which these
stats are widely available.
