He Is Increasing Arsenal’s Threat On The Opposition Goal
Expected goals (or xG) can give us a good indication about a team’s strengths in attack.
In the 22 matches that Trossard didn’t feature in the starting eleven for the Gunners in the league this campaign, the club’s xG is 1.94, which is a very good average.
However, in the five games that Belgian has been selected in, the team’s xG has gone up to 2.26. Of course, it’s a small sample size but it again highlights his influence in the final third of the pitch.
