Orbinho Stat

Post by STLgooner89 »

"Arsenal have made more errors leading to goals (11) and scored the most own goals (5) of any team in the Premier League this season."

Shocking numbers....

Own goals off the top of my head
-Kosc own goals vs blackburn and lpool
-Miquel own goal vs lpool
-Song own goal vs bburn
-Vermaelan own goal vs fulham

It seems as if every goal we allow it's some shocking or frustrating error like Verm yesterday. Or giving away free kicks in scoring position (bburn and sunderland at home). Or even something like Mert getting injured while not in danger, if not that someone is diving to win pks against us. :evil:

surely every goal comes from an error, ie not tracking a player/failed offside trap/missed tackle etc

Yes, but I mean the angering or embarrassing ones. It's one thing if a team uses superior skill to get a goal instead of say capitalizing on an error. The Ben Arfa goal against us was a normal one, I'd say. The 2 games before that we had 2 own goals.

Didn't Ox concede one as well?

I do get the point being made though. When we are good, we are good but when we are bad...

We'll always be a shambles defensively whilst Wenger is still here.
