Right then - manager drama over - back to the football.
Ahhhh, while typing the Zaha loan deal has emerged - so no one will read it but . . .
Normal caveats about stats - i.e. - that they help you understand where to look, and that they require interpretation within context.
Just looked at our passing stats over the first 2 games. I have averaged out the passing volume stats to an average per game. The % is simply that.
First of all the numbers
Failed passes - average per game
Jedinak.......17
Chamakh.....14
Puncheon....10
Speroni.......10
Bannan.......10
Ledley........9
Ward..........7
Hangeland...6
Delaney......6
Kelly..........5
Bolasie.......4
Dann..........3
O'Keefe......3
Gayle.........1
Campbell.....0
Murray.......0
Williams J....0
I don't think it's that much of a shock who is giving the ball away. Jedi has continued where he left off last season. Chamakh stats are worse over these 2 games. Someone in that role typically will lose the ball more as they are trying to set up attacks or holding up the ball under pressure. But during the 2 games he is likely doing too much and its impacting the stats at least.
Kelly is also worthy of note because although he has made 10 bad passes (5 ave) they were all in the first game. None at all against West Ham :-)
So that's one side of it - who is giving the ball away.
On the other side - who is completing our successful passes
Successful passes - ave per game
Jedinak.......34
Chamakh.....31
Ward..........19
Bannan.......19
Ledley........18
Kelly..........18
Hangeland...13
O'Keefe......13
Bolasie.......12
Campbell.....9
Williams J....8
Puncheon 8
Delaney 7
Dann 5
Speroni 5
Gayle 3
Murray 2
Again not too many surprises. Might have hoped for a better total passes from Bolasie maybe. Kelly again stands up well so early on.
Finally the % pass accuracy that gives
Pass accuracy
Murray.......100%
Williams J....100%
Campbell.....95%
O'Keefe......81%
Kelly..........78%
Ward..........72%
Bolasie.......72%
Gayle.........71%
Hangeland...70%
Chamakh.....69%
Jedinak.......67%
Ledley........67%
Bannan.......66%
Dann..........63%
Delaney......56%
Puncheon....44%
Speroni.......31%
As ever you need to look at more than one stat to understand or you would be making Murray your midfield general :-) but 2 out of 2 is not that impressive really. :-) Gayle has made a total of 6 passes and so....
Good news - all from the perspective of these isolated stats
Kelly has made a surprisingly good start in a new team in difficult circumstances.
Campbell is probably doing better than it might seem but its still early days. Bear in mind the chasm between him and the rest at Arsenal. Give him some time.
Ward - starting as last year in a positive way
Jedinak - starting as last year in a negative way. It remains a real challenge for your main midfield outlet to be scraping a 67% average for completing a pass.
Chamakh needs to tweak this back up again to 70's at least. I doubt he will ever hit 80's due to the role and tbh lack of support when he is receiving it.
Bannan may hit some nice passes but he is giving the ball away more than it appears I suspect.
Speroni's numbers are pretty awful. His Distribution stat (different for keepers) is worse than 18 other keepers that have played. Only Hull City's MgGregor is worse. For context the top 10 are at 60% or more, while Speroni is at 34%. Ouch.
Stop at this point - 1) because it's already long - but 2 due to the Zaha news. It's party time. fingers crossed.
