They are also frequently slow to close down opponents outside the box, which has resulted in a
number of goals conceded from distance.
You would have made your analysis better by showing us statistics regarding goals proportion
of goals conceded from counter attacks in relation to goals conceded from other circumstances.

First of all, my comment about him being responsible for many

By the way they have only conceded 5 goals, which are less than half
of goals conceded by chelsea, arsenal, and man city.
Arsenal do not have the best defence in the Premier League, in terms
of goals conceded at least, with 10 going into our net so far in 10 EPL games.
That meant we had to commit more and more players forward towards the end of the game and as a result were more vulnerable defensively, which is why a
lot of the goals we conceded from counterattacks were late goals, like against Swansea most recently, conceding the winner in the last 10 minutes because Coquelin was taken off so we could attack more.

Cech conceded a total of 24 Premier League goals in the 2013/14 campaign, a
rate of a goal conceded every 128 minutes.
Although much was made of Arsenal's zonal marking system in the
aftermath of a goal conceded from a set piece against Manchester City, the reality is that both Premier League goals against the North London club this season have been the result of goalkeeping errors; Wojciech Szcz?sny fumbled a cross against Southampton and against City, Vito Mannone raced off his line only to get nowhere near David Silva's corner, allowing Lescott to head home.
One statistic that surprised me was that the Gunners are fourth in the

@Hafiz Rahman Beside for the 2 goals that we conceded vs Southampton (Shezney again), I don't think there's much that De Gea could've done diff from the

I realise this is a crude numerical perspective and the figures can be misconstrued but my instincts are to conclude that a decline in performance this season is down to our away performances and the most bleedin obvious explanation for this is the decline in our inability to score goals away from home — with the exception of the 5 away games played so far this year — where we see it is the number
of goals conceded away from home that is the main problem.
