Okay so I got curious about how Arsenal and Liverpool stack up before this big game. Felt like digging into numbers instead of just yelling “COYG!” at my TV again. Grabbed my laptop, spilled coffee everywhere, and started clicking around stats sites like a madman.
Opening Tabs Like Crazy
First I pulled up that Premier League stats page. Then another tab for FotMob, then WhoScored… ended up with like 15 tabs open. My browser crashed twice. Had to write numbers in my notepad app like some caveman because comparing screenshots sucks.
The Weird Stuff I Did
Started making tables in Google Sheets but gave up halfway. Just scribbled arrows in my notebook instead. Like “LFC 🔼 shots but ARS đź”˝ misses wtf?” Wasted 20 minutes checking if all sources had same data – some had different numbers for tackles! Nearly threw my phone when the wifi cut out.
What Actually Stood Out
After all that headache, seven things jumped out:
- Goal machines vs Wall defenses: Pool’s attack scores boatloads but Arsenal’s backline leaks way less
- Corners chaos: Liverpool takes way more but Arsenal actually scores from theirs more often?
- Passing freaks: Both complete mad passes but Arteta’s boys play way more short passes sideways
- Hitting the target: Salah and crew shoot more but Saka’s boys are deadlier per shot
- Foul trouble: That Liverpool press means they give away way more free kicks around the box
- Card magnets: Both teams’ fullbacks rack up yellows like they’re collecting Pokemon
- Late drama: Pool concedes way more after 75 mins while Arsenal finds late goals
Conclusion From This Mess
Honestly? Stats are a rabbit hole. Spent three hours making spreadsheets only to remember Xhaka ain’t even at Arsenal anymore. Numbers say one thing but then Martinelli goes and does something ridiculous. Still gonna check these during the match though!
