Nearly every single stat has the caveat "but a lot of this is affected by the red cards". Any chance we can see a version of this KPI check that's only 11v11 time?

I don't have it as easily broken out that way unfortunately. It will just have to be time that does that work for us.

I think the value of this exercise is heavily contingent on what question we’re asking: if it’s will this team win the league, there’s some juice there. If it’s is this team good enough to win the league, well the numbers don’t mean much absent correction for Red cards and strength of schedule. IMO the team hasn’t dug itself a hole, the PGMOL dug it for them.

For sure, the PGMOL stuff is no doubt probably worth 4-8 points (depending on how you view Saliba red and maybe the knock on to Liverpool).

Having an extra even 2 points would be so big right now for the title. 9 points is very tough, 7 points would be hard, 5 points and closer and I like Arsenal's chances.
