Yep, does it really matter how they score their goals? They have superb weapons in Declan Rice's delivery and the ability of the likes of Gabriel in attacking the ball and scoring. Maybe teams will learn how to defend them better, but they've had this strength for quite a while. As said, they're just much tighter in defense now as well.

Arsenal face the deepest defensive lines of any team and yet they are accused of being boring? For an open game you need two teams to go for it like Arsenal playing Athletico. Even Pep parked the bus against Arsenal and Haaland was positioned at left back at times in game.

I just checked back through your posts to make sure you're not a WUM, and it seems not.

But by god this post feels like an absolute pisstake.

In what way? Stats show Arsenal play the highest line and face the lowest. Also that Arsenal have more touches in opposition box compared to other teams.
