So, like, they haven't hit those heights.

69 goals scored.

This is the big criticism of Arsenal.

69 goals scored, which is the fifth lowest in Premier League history.

Uh...

The lowest is Man United in 1993 with 42 games, 67, interestingly.

Leicester when they won at 68.

Surprisingly, Man United in 09 had 68 as well.

You sort of think of that three in a row United side as free scoring.

But yeah, fifth lowest tally of goals scored in the league.

Nearly 30% of their goals are from dead ball situations, 19 of the 69 from dead ball, so...

that's kind of where they're a little bit representative of the parts of the game people don't really like at the moment.

At one point, yeah.

He does seem to have changed course and realised he was better going this more pragmatic route.

I think what also maybe is a mark against them and how people view them is the league race should never have been this close.

No.

They did all the heavy lifting early in the season, like that run around November where they had eight successive clean sheets.

They were six points clear early.

And I'd say at least three times this season

I would have said, oh, that's it done now.
