Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

It's panic big time.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

And I'm not even saying the word butlers.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

I won't even use that word.

ESPN FC

What are you seeing, Craig?

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

Well, there's a worrying trend here and it's not a trend in a positive nature.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

When you insert a negative connotation and that's where they are and that's where they have been recently, you start to see it in performances, you start to see it in confidence levels and when you look at the stats, the last 10 games, we've gone back to the last 10 games here roughly, there was 43 games before March 1st.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

Three games they lost in 43.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

3-10.

ESPN FC

It's not actually 3-10, that's 3-4.

ESPN FC

Set-piece goals, currently three against 25.

ESPN FC

But more importantly is the percentage of the set-piece goals.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

5.5 percentage they are putting away compared to 13% before.

ESPN FC

So all this set-piece talk is diminishing.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

They're not as prominent and not as effective from set-pieces.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

Open play goals, before March the 1st, was almost one and a half a game.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

And the last 10 games, it's 0.7.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

That's a half.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

And just as important, down the bottom, XG from open play of one and above in the last 10 games, zero.

ESPN FC
Arsenal's Dry Spell Continues

Before March the 1st, it was over 50%.

ESPN FC

So what we're seeing is a diminishing arsenal from set pieces, which was their big calling.
