New Cannon Stats Podcast: Arsenal Drop Points but Give Us Reasons for Optimism

A nice chat about the Sunderland match, both of us feel more positive about Arsenal after that match even though it wasn't the result we wanted or really deserved.

The last time each "Big 6" team has lost by 3 goals or more in the Premier League

Liverpool: 2025-11-09 | 0-3 @ Manchester City
Manchester United: 2025-09-14 | 0-3 @ Manchester City
Spurs: 2025-05-25 |1-4 vs Brighton

This is Liverpool's first loss by 3 goals in the Premier League since 2023-04-01. They lost that one 4-1 also against Manchester City.

This was asked in the CannonStats discord, here is how things stand now based on how the result of this City vs Liverpool match goes.

Either team winning isn't something that changes really for Arsenal (obviously changes for that team). A draw the best for Arsenal but that doesn't look likely.

For the first half yesterday by my calculations the ball in play time was just 23 minutes. A very start stop match and it was very much the type of disruption that Sunderland wanted.

Arsenal were much better in the second half to impose their style on the match.

Granit Xhaka, Performance

Arsenal did a good job to not let the ex-Arsenal man do much or really impact the game here.

His only "highlight" was yelling at Merino after he fouled him and bringing back that even though his reputation was rehabbed after leaving, why I often disliked him at Arsenal

Average touch locations and passing networks broken out by quarter of the match.

Got a bit too deep late for my taste.

Reupping my thoughts at full time.

First Thoughts: Sunderland vs Arsenal

If Arsenal were chasing the game late I’d be more open to the bench was light stuff.

Arsenal had plenty of midfield and defensive depth there with White, Lewis-Skelly, Hincapie, Mosquera, Norgaard available. Only 1 got one.

Saka had looked like he was playing within himself quite a bit since coming back from injury. Here he looked much more like THE GUY we want and know he can be.

He put the team on his back in the second half.

My raw reaction here. Arsenal should have had more, but that is the game sometimes. www.cannonstats.com/p/first-thou...

Sunderland vs Arsenal Deserve to win-o-meter
November 8, 2025 at 7:56 PM
Sunderland 2 (0.9)-(2.0) 2 Arsenal

A very annoying game. A couple of mistakes from Arsenal and not enough energy to see it out after a great fight back.
November 8, 2025 at 7:42 PM
This is the first time since May 11 last season that Arsenal have conceded 2 goals in a match

DAVID RAYA

what a game from him.
November 8, 2025 at 7:23 PM
You’ll never guess who was judged to have committed the foul here.
November 8, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Trossard has the clutch gene
November 8, 2025 at 7:13 PM
LOL United

(also lol me for betting on them)
November 8, 2025 at 2:20 PM
This Spurs vs United match could maybe use some long throws to change it up a bit for how this is ruining the sport. At least that would give a bit more penalty box action.
November 8, 2025 at 2:09 PM
This is a good bit of reading to get ready for Arsenal's trip to the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland are 4th in the table and have blown away expectations. Are Sunderland Actually Good?

Are Sunderland Actually Good?
They were a tough team to read coming up but the expectations were pretty low, they have blown them out of the water to start the season. Just how good are Arsenal's next opponents?
