Re: Arsenal Stats and Facts Thread

[Sina]

Since the start of last season, Arsenal have made 18 individual errors leading to a goal – more than any other side in the Premier League

[Sina]

Aaron Ramsey has had 11 shots this season - 2 of them have hit the woodwork-2 on target

Marouane Fellaini and Gareth Bale have both hit the woodwork 3 times this season - more than any other player

Giroud creeping up the goalscorers table.

Walcott has some seriously impressive stats, too.

[Emaharg]

If Walcott doesn't get a new contract..............

[MJ]

I'm seeing that Giroud has 5 assists from other sources Jay. Wikipedia, transfermarkt.co.uk, a picture comparing him Rooney and Torres.

He has 2 assists in the CL, 2 in the PL and 1 in the League Cup according to transfermarkt.co.uk

[RealGunner]

Walcott's goals and assists are deceiving his overall performances

[urbaNRoots]

Walcott is playing so good on the wing, why is he insisting for that strikers position

Playing too much FIFA, I guess.

[Sina]

compared to leaders



13 errors

Arsenal goal involvement all comps - Walcott 16 (9Gls 7Asst), Giroud 11 (7G 4A) Podolski 10 (6G 4A) Cazorla 7 (4G 3A) Gervinho 6 (5G 1A)

[Rev]

Walcott, man of the moment.

Giroud slowly becoming one of my favourites, not only because of his looks.

[MJ]

I'd really love to hear the reasoning behind not signing Walcott at all costs.

Giroud looking good right now. Podolski boasting impressive numbers. Walcott being a beast.

[urbaNRoots]

Goals per game conceded this season. With Kieran Gibbs in team: 0.77. Without Gibbs in team: 2.25

Is Gibbs really SO important for Arsenal or are stats deceiving?

[Jay29]

Stats are deceiving. Gibb's absence coincided with the international break, which is when the entire team turned crap for some reason. Had Gibbs been fit during that time, chances are he'd have suffered the same drop of form as everyone else did; I doubt form dropped because Gibbs was injured.

Having said that, having a proper back four with a left back that's a competent defender would have been a big help.

Oliver Giroud:

Appearances - 17
Goals - 7
Assists - 6

Looking better by the game.

Also, Lukas Podolski:

Appearances - 17
Goals - 7
Assists - 5

That's not bad for someone playing out of position.

[RealGunner]

G-RUDEEEEEEE

[Rev]

Our front three is pretty much decided imho.

It shows how far, some much needed experience (Podolski,Cazorla) can get you to.
Never expected the new signings to fit so seamlessly, but hey, they had no other option.

Every one of them brings something else to the table which is a nice thing to have.

Just realised:

Walcott-Giroud-Podolski
WA-GI-PO

The three of them to deceive all of us? (and lead us to glory?)

[TalkingReckless]

Giroud 7 goals 6 assists. Not bad in only 12 starts and 7 subs

and

Poldi 7 goals 5 assits

[Jay29]

With Giroud, his success would always depend a lot on how well Arsenal utilised his strengths. He may have missed a couple of good chances in his first few games, but Arsenal seldom played to his strengths in those games.

Now, though, we're beginning to get the best out of him. If you breakdown the goals he's scored, you can see there's been a change of approach:

vs Coventry - left footed finish, through pass by Coquelin
vs West Ham - left footed tap in, cross from Podolski
vs Reading - header, corner from Walcott
vs Schalke - header, cross from Podolski
vs Fulham - header, corner from Walcott AND header, cross from Walcott
vs Tottenham - left footed finish, pass by Cazorla

It's no coincidence that Walcott's name appears the most here, because he's been the one player who's willingly crossed the ball into the box. Ideally, we want Podolski to do the same more often on the other side or, if not him, than Gibbs (when he returns) or Cazorla, he tends to drift to that side.

I think Podolski could contribute more in terms of general build up play, but he's scoring and providing.

Walcott's improvement has really helped this front-line. Before, we weren't sure if we should use Gervinho, Chamberlain or Walcott on the right because they each had their faults. Since that Reading game, though, Walcott has made that spot his own. He offers a directness that neither Podolski or Giroud provide.

[Sina]

did i also hear that Giroud and Godolski combined have scored as many goals as Van persie last season at this stage??
Wenger

[Arsenalfaithfull]

LOL Can you guys see him being like drogba as he becomes more comfortable with the leagues defenders and his own team mates?

Giroud is good when he plays completely on the offside line. Sometimes when he doesn't get the ball enough he wants to come deep. That is not his game. When he is a target man and uses his link-up play, he is fantastic because he can win in the air, he can score with his feet and can be a complete striker. He still has some work to do, but he is getting better.

what exactly Wenger said postmatch.. you provide him, he can score as many as RVP..

Theo reaches double figures for goals this season. It took him a lot longer to do so in the previous two seasons.

Please stay.

Walcott looks like prime Maradona now that it's his last year in his contract
