Arsenal have 0 goals and just 1.2 xG from set plays out of 9 goals and 6.82 xG total from the last 4 Premier League matches.

Is Arsenal becoming too reliant on open play?

Cristhian Mosquera: β€˜Arsenal were my team growing up. They had an aura’ The Spain Under-21 centre-back talks to Sid Lowe about his club’s β€˜crazy’ defensive numbers, his dual identity and his love of multicultural London

Cristhian Mosquera is very, very cool. And yes, he actually did laugh at *that* scene from The Full Monty www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Let me take the other side of Kesh here. I think we strangled that match almost completely defensively and created enough pressure and chances the score 2 goals. It was by no means pretty but it was quite effective, and you can win a league handily if that’s how you perform in midtable away games

Victor Gyokeres performance vs Newcastle.

I’m quite pleased with 6 shots and I think he did pretty well with them. Added 2 key passes and I thought the hold up was solid. He didn’t get the whistle either or the VAR benefit of the doubt.

Oleksandr Zinchenko recalling a training session last season: "One day my family came to watch me train and saw I was putting out the cones and fetching drinks. Gabriel called me "cone boy" and my daughter laughed at me. Then I spilled all the drinks and had to play in my pants." [@gunnerblog]

🚨EXCL: Understand LW not a priority for #Arsenal this summer, with focus on other areas. The #Gunners are happy with current options Martinelli and Trossard (new deal soon). Any incoming signing would likely require a sale to comply with PSR/UEFA cost control measures. #AFC

🚨 EXCL: Rodrygo not pushing for a move away from Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso highly rates the Brazilian winger, who remains firmly in the club's plans. No pressure to sell from Madrid's side despite Arsenal interest. #AFC #RMA

🚨Arsenal’s pursuit of Rodrygo may require a compromise in their search for a centre-forward. The significant financial outlay for the Brazilian could limit their budget, pushing the Gunners toward a more pragmatic, cost-effective signing to bolster their attack. #Arsenal #AFC #Gunners

reports about LW are always being described as a luxury signing and not a necessity. We have other positions to fill that are "essential", and seems a LW upgrade is "optional". I think the club take the easy option and extend Trossard
