In this #UncensoredArsenal podcast both Blackburn George and I were impressed by the manner in which Arsenal gained the victory, increasing their intensity from the 1st to 2nd half as Expected Goals, Number of Shots and Corner Attempts significantly increased prior to the winning goal. Once again the podcast is &#8220;eating humble pie&#8221; for prematurely writing off Kai Havertz. George stresses that criticism was valid when he was playing the midfield Xhaka role but it must be acknowledged he has been outstanding playing as a false 9. The podcast concluded with thoughts about whether Arsenal&#8217;s title prospects are better than the failed challenge of 2022-23.<\/p>\n<p>In support of our analysis below are match statistics from sofascore.com showing how Arsenal intensified the pressure from 1st to second half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1st Half Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3798\" src=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-1st-half-239x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-1st-half-239x300.jpg 239w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-1st-half-815x1024.jpg 815w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-1st-half.jpg 944w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2nd Half Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3799\" src=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-2nd-half-242x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-2nd-half-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-2nd-half-824x1024.jpg 824w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARSBRE-2nd-half.jpg 966w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, for readers review consider the Arsenal last 10 figures in the 2023-24 EPL campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3800\" src=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARS-last-10-in-23-24--300x228.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARS-last-10-in-23-24--300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARS-last-10-in-23-24--1024x778.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARS-last-10-in-23-24--1536x1167.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/uncensoredarsenal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ARS-last-10-in-23-24-.jpg 1656w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal slew Brentford and their negative tactics in the latest dramatic chapter of their 2023-24 Premier League season.
