New Year New Game: Brentford vs Arsenal 17:30 UK Time.

IBL

Ref is such a homer

HomeSteak

Rice there had the pass...but did not go for it

est

Worst I've ever seen Odegaard play.

Thank god we managed today without his contribution. Won't be the case every game. He needs to snap out of it and find some form asap.

naz

QuincyAbeyie I don't. Probably because it was a one off and he improved quickly. Cala is now 10 games in and hasn't looked all that great. I hope he's half as good as White and time will tell

HomeSteak

Great win. Partey MOTM. Nwaneri was good as well. Califiori & Odegaard tragic. Arteta spot on with almost everything today.
And I think Timber is the best defensive buy Arteta ever made, and he has made a shit load.

IBL

Good win at a difficult place

Coombs

Excellent win in a tough game. Happy with that.

Qwiss

That's a really good win. Very tough place to go and win so comfortably.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Very good win. The table still depresses me.

SimplyThePest

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert just got to keep grinding it out, man.

GooneriC

Very good win , with Saka missing I'm glad we aren't over reliant on playing that right side. Nwanners is quality but he will learn to release the ball earlier and quicker as he gets game time. I'd give Tierney some minutes and play a bit differently sometimes , this team is missing an overlapping FB

HomeSteak — when is XG counted/calculated? Is it at time of the shot?

Because I think ambient did very well to fashion his shot, and disguise it. No way that shot is worth only .06xg….

We have excellent structure, but we really do need a physically dominant wide attacker particularly on the left. Nico Williams would thrive out there for us.

RocktheCasbah

Hearing some excuses from my Brentford mates re missing players, but even allowing for the goal start we gave them, I think that's as dominant a win as we've ever had in my old neck of the woods. Really enjoyed that.

lorddulaarsenal

We’re playing at such a high level in many aspects of the game Paulie. Brilliant infact.

Was reading the forum earlier and was sorry to hear of your recent loss 🙁 wishing you all the best bud

RocktheCasbah

lorddulaarsenal thanks mate, we've had a very tough few weeks, but potentially some good news has come our way regarding my brother in law. Just waiting to get it confirmed.

Segway

Everytime I watch Nwaneri I'm impressed. Wow, what a touch and control of the ball he has. Good signs that Arteta is ramping up his involvement.

Jesus' resurgence is a blessing. Him and Martinelli looked much better again today.

Gazza M

Segway he has very fast feet and can stop on a dime. must be a nightmare 1 on 1

the best part of the win was that we came from behind away from home, and the contributions of nwaneri. in the grander scheme, it was very much a 'hold serve' type of game. same patterns, same frustrations.

lorddulaarsenal

Agree to all that Segs

Nwaneri is special.

By the way - I don’t want Mbeumo - he’s not Arsenal quality

Claudius

MistaT hey. Open-play xG is calculated at point of contact based on your situation, eg distance to goal, angle to goal, defensive coverage, body part, preferred foot, passage of play, type of play etc.

There is also post shot xG or xGOT which then takes all that information plus where in the goal frame the ball ended up (specifically for on-target shots)

Burnwinter

MistaT Is it at time of the shot?

There's both xG and "post shot xG", but the usual one is before the shot is taken.

There are many flavours of this dubious stuff.

Qwiss

Gazza M I don't agree. I think there were signs here that a few things are changing. The midfield are pushing on and attacking more. There has been a noticeable uptick in shots and box breaking play from the midfielders since Sakas injury IMO. Its a smallish tweak but I think its making a difference in how much threat we offer.
