We seem to love or hate stats, but we all seem to use them to rubbish or support an opinion. So here's a list of the Arsenal leaders and laggards in the PL (Played more than 5 games): Goals : RVP - 27 Assists : RVP - 10 Shots per Game : RVP - 4.4 Key Passes Per Game (led to shot at goal) : RVP - 2.4 Successful dribbles per game : OXO - 1.8 Fouled per game (free kicks won) : Arteta - 2 Offsides per game : RVP - 1 Dispossessed per game : Ramsey - 2.8 Turnovers per game (mis control caused loss of possession) : Walcott - 2.5 Lost possession per game (sum of two categories above) : Ramsey - 4.5 Average Passes per game : Arteta - 79.5 Pass Completion Rate : Arteta 90.7 Accurate Crosses Per Game : RVP - 1.3 Accurate passes over 25 yards per game : Arteta - 5.4 Through Balls per game (leading to goalkeeper to beat) : Song - 0.7 Tackles per Game : Santos - 3.5 Interceptions per game : Santos - 2.8 Fouls per game : Song - 2.1 Clearances per game : Kos - 5 Beaten by opposing dribble per game : Song - 1.4 Blocked Shots per game : Merts - 0.6 Own Goals : Kos - 2 Red denotes league leading performance.
So of your 66 league goals van persie has scored or assisted in 37 of them? Over half?! What a stunning player. Song's through balls and oxos runs are also impressive considering one is predominately a defensive midfielder and the other is barely a man yet! Nice thread did you get your stats off a specific website that I could use for a southampton version?
He's also created around 80 other chances that were not converted. You are right - a stunning player. http://www.whoscored.com/ good source for detailed stats (directly from Opta), though might only do the top leagues in each country... Still good source for you next year
