How many times have we Arsenal fans seen the team dominating possession and other stats in a game and then not win? Over the last few seasons, far too many. Yesterday, away to Manchester United, the opposite:
This is very un-Arsenal. Only 39% possession, only completing 74% of their passes, not what we'd expect. But only two metrics matter: goals conceded: 0, points gained: 3. Suck it up, critics! Defences win titles.
As for the Tractor Boys, yep Southampton are our nemesis, said it before. Two games, two draws. Badly needing some top level signings, not confident about promotion. I need cheering up.
For Charlton, a home win and an away draw is a great start after promotion through the playoffs. As for Wycombe, one point from three league matches is not promising.
I suppose I am obliged to mention Spurs. Good start to their Premier League campaign but we know Burnley are going to be bottom of the table so don't get too excited! Next up is away to Man City, we'll talk again after that.
