Maybe swap Trossard and Merino. Need an outlet for exit balls up front.

I just want to go one game without learning a referee’s name.

Another game this season in which I want us to beat the ref rather than the opponent

Late to the party but there might be even more to come from Arsenal's corners 👇🏼

Goals from corners: 7
xG from corners: 11.42

Location of Liverpool's turnovers also visualizes their game plan in regards to their press. Prevent central progression, force the opposition wide in their own third, prevent diagonal cut balls into the middle and win the ball when opponent receives ball facing his own goal.
Here's a lovely viz from @markstats.club (@markstatsbot.bsky.social) which shows how many times Liverpool and City lost the ball within 50 metres of their own goal:

Pretty much the opposite of Arsenal, who sit in mid-table when it comes to shots faced. Has a lot to do with game state and playing with 10 men of course. Only a little more than half of those shots have come from inside the box (lowest % in the league), compared to City's 76% (2nd highest)
Considering no team saved and blocked less shots than City this season, is one way of reading this that City might not allow a lot of shots but basically all those that they give away are high quality ones? Would make sense when looking at their troubles in rest defense.

Great read!
Adding to Dibling's on-ball qualities is his capacity and attitude to do this 👇🏼

Jorginho = master of scanning. (Youth) Players often mistake turning their head with actually scanning the pitch. Teaching players which reference points to look for when scanning is essential. Helps them to process information quickly & act fast. Not everything you see is information you need.
Why I love Jorginho
