The second instalment in out series of members articles focussing on team statistics takes a look at the defensive side of things. We analyse the last six Gameweeks, checking the key indicators to assess each side in terms of potential defensive returns…
Cue 5-1 demolition of villa this week. giroud hat trick, walcott 2.

Did Wally play CF last night, before G-Roo came on?

That only indicates they suck less than Villa. Whether Villa go down or not, the team the have is championship level. Without Benteke they would be down already.
Open ControlsMy brother and nephew are Arsnel nuts, go over every year, I love the club, how they play. Its whats happening there I don't like.
Open Controls
Yep...
If Bayern had a good striker they'd be unreal. Mandzukic wouldn't be first choice at United or City.Open Controls
😀
Open Controlsagree about United, disagree about city.

did you seen his over head kick goal against wolfsburg?
be quite demi
he is not bayern 1st choice striker without a reason
and he wouln't be top goal scorer in bundesleaGUEOpen ControlsI scored one years ago, nearly broke my neck, and I'm shite!
Open ControlsKiesling was top goalscorer in the Bundesliga at one stage. Does that make him great too?
Yes i saw it. It was a great goal, but i've seen it plenty times by other players. Tbh, the competition for the striker spot there is hardly great? Gomez isn't that good, and Pizzaro is past it? Fact is he wouldn't start over Rooney/RVP or Aguero/Tevez imo.
No wonder Bayern are chasing so hard to get Suarez.Open Controlsi never once said that he is at RVP/Roo or Tevez/Aguero level even if i do belive that he could lead city forward line better than those 2
but he is in form and that's fact
Bayern game is good cause of mandyOpen Controls
You suck at everything! 😉

ddg (bunn)
harte cueller onouha GJ (davies)
fellanii walcott bale maloney (michu)
rvp suarez (sturridge)
Am leading my monthly league by like 15 points...so in a tough choice. Thinking of taking a hit but if either cueller/onouha then even after 1 hit, i might not have a starting 11.
A: GJ + suarez >> sagna/santon/wilson(if fit) + augero..sagna has blank in gw29
B: GJ + suarez >> sagna/santon/wilson(if fit) + dzeko/benteke/lamby...will leave me with cash to
upgrade maloney >> mata and have the P5
C: GJ + sturridge >> sagna/santon + any striker upto 10m
D: GJ + sturridge >> wilson + augero..but i think having 3 big hitters in strike is too much
E: michu + suarez >> mata + giroudOpen Controls
Best defender for 5.3? Would need to play most weeks.
Thinking Sagna or Dawson?Open Controls
Santon?

epl league reached bottom
la ligue
bundesligue
serie A
and even french league are now better than EPL
sad times for english football 🙂Open Controls
Forca-who are you captaining this week?
Open Controls
In terms of quality, La Liga and Bundesliga are better imo (I don't agree that Serie A and Ligue 1 are). However, in terms of entertainment, the Premiership is still the best for me.
Open Controlsi actaully agree with you
even if epl is shet at this moment i still find it very interestingOpen Controls
So tell me if our 5th placed team Arsenal are worse then Bundesliga's 1st placed team.
Can we then surmise that Freiburg are better than Man United?Open Controls
Go to the next post. I have an argument for you Eng lads.
Open Controls
Was Cameron dropped or rested do we think?
I know he had a friendly prior away in USA or somewhere...Open Controls
The suggestion is he was rested as a result of the US friendly which he arrived back tired from. I'm hoping that's true as I'm relying on him to be able to field 11 this week.
Open ControlsSame here... Would require a hit to shift Sturridge too and I don't want to do that as he's easily the best option at that price.
CheersOpen Controls
Arsenal have scored 5 or more goals 5 times this season. And that's not even including that spectacular Reading cup match (5-7)
Villa on the other hand have conceded 3 or more goals 8 times this season, including an 0-8 loss to Chelsea.
Of course I've hand-picked these stats, but it still shows that there is a good chance Walcott could explode with a mammoth score this week.Open Controls
Depends on whether they still have the killer instinct after getting knocked out of the FA Cup and almost knocked out of the UCL...
Open Controls
Missed out on the TV discussion earlier, so here's my 2 cents.
In terms of drama, The Wire stands out above everything else as the greatest show I've ever seen. Then, just below, I'd have:
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Breaking Bad
Deadwood
For comedy shows, I'd go:
The Office (original of course)
The Simpsons (specifically seasons 3-8)
I'm Alan Partridge
Peep Show
Brass Eye and The Day Today
Arrested Development
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Seinfeld
The Larry Sanders Show
ExtrasOpen ControlsAn excellent list and I wouldn't disagree with any of those, although as is always the case I could easily add the same number of shows again and still have more I wish I could put on!

In the last 8 years, English clubs have been finalists 8 times.
Do a little maths now.
50% of the finalists in the last 8 years have been English teams.Open Controlswell said.
german league has 2-3 very good teams, spain has the big two plus 4-5 decent teams, Italy is a mess but still 4-5 good teams, but EPL has 7 good teams and another 3-4 who compete well (everton, newc, etc.)Open Controls
RVP.
i sold him for suarez (worked ok i guess) and now i have the money to bring him back, but:
gw27 - playing away to QPR - could be huge, but could be a very dull 0-0 after QPR parking a gigantinc bus.
Gw28 - probably rested for the madrid game a few days later - shame cause norwich can be a great game for him.
gw29 - potential blank - who knows
after gw30 - title probably close to being locked, and if they advance in CL he is likely to get a rest every 2-3 games.
