Saw these stats in this Sky Sports article:
I think a lack of a quality ball carrier and someone that can consistently beat his man one-v-one is one of our biggest failings. And why we look so blunt in certain games even when compared to teams that have much less quality than we have. We go whole games without getting a serious shot at goal, this has happened more and more in recent seasons. Even though we have two very good strikers on the pitch most of the time.
My two cents is that Zaha at Arsenal will be a much more productive and valuable player than Zaha at Crystal Palace. He will create space for good players to exploit, shake up opposition defences, and force defenders to make quick decisions and rash tackles. His final ball might even improve with better coaching, better strikers and in entering his prime years as a footballer.
Fuck Palace and Parish, get it done Arsenal.
