Aston Villa v Arsenal 24/08/24 1730

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

So just looking now and starting from Wenger’s first game in charge right up to the amount of games that Arteta has managed, Arsenal’s recovery record was 10 wins, 12 draws and 27 defeats. So not really fantastically better either.

Thats 29% of points and more significantly (in a time when you won the league with less points) we recovered in 45% of games.....IMO that's definitely much better.

Erm I’m looking at games purely where we concede the first goal in a game

The Arshavin game at Anfield, we scored the first goal, and in fact were only behind once during the game


We actually gave away the lead three times in that game at 1-0, 3-2 and 4-3


We also came back from 3-0 down against West Ham under Arteta to draw 3-3

Came back from two nil down against Chelsea and when Chelsea twice took the lead against us despite playing the majority of the game with ten men.


You can always find examples of where we’ve come back in games under any coach


But under Wenger there were also loads of games where we conceded first like in the opening five minutes of a game and despite all the huffing and puffing couldn’t break sides down

Is that the way the stat works. Shouldn't be how many times you've been behind?

The stat is usually first goal conceded yes. Not many games where the lead changes hands between teams several times in a game

Is that from Google? They usually have a bit of a rum interpretation of how we set up


I would say you’d have partey sitting in front of the defence with Rice on the left and Odegaard on the right of central midfield

Yes Google.

I agree Partey will be in the middle.

This is our 30th Premier league visit to Villa Park

Our record there stands at 14 wins 9 draws and 6 defeats


Our overall Premier league record against them is 31 wins, 14 draws and 13 defeats

They’ve done the league double over us 3 times, we’ve done the league double over them 8 times
