🔴 1.81 interceptions (93th)
🔴 2.27 carries into final third (90th)
🔴 77.3% aerials won (98th)

Arsenal caused so many problems to Manchester City with their aggressive man to man pressing high up the pitch! 🧐

As this pic shows, Ødegaard pressed Ortega in the box who tried to find Kovacic in the middle, but Rice recovered the ball & Havertz almost punished it. 🥶

Hato talks on visiting #LFC & the transfer rumours: "I was invited by Gravenberch (To Anfield), I didn't speak to a director there. LFC played well & the atmosphere in the stadium was good, but there is no more to say.” [via @anythinglfc.bsky.social ] 🔥

What a 🍕 he has!

Analysing #LFC's pass network in the #UCL, Slot's style is so visible! 🧐

🔴 GK is very active in the build-up
🔴 FBs stay on the edge of half-spaces
🔴 Lots of triangles & passing lanes
🔴 The 3 CMs are close to each other
🔴 Everyone is involved in possession

Slot operated with a 4-3-3 shape out-of-possession in the #UCL yesterday, and it was very effective as #LFC only allowed 4 shots & 0.5 xG to Lille! 🔥

As the scene shows, Gravenberch as a No. 6 stayed deeper in front of defence & the Jones-Szoboszlai duo (8s) played higher up the pitch. 👇

Liverpool controlled the game both in-possession and OOP so far vs Lille in the #UCL! 🔥

As this scene below shows, #LFC's high man-to-man pressing (Tsimikas jumped to Mandi, Jones to Haraldsson) at times made Lille's build-up phase very difficult. 👇
January 21, 2025 at 8:49 PM
Ibrahima Konaté's pizza chart at #LFC is just amazing! 💪

Compared to other CBs in the #PL, he's excellent in: ball retention, carry, possession involvement, creating, shot volume, defensive aerial duels, OOP workrate, interceptions & recoveries! 🔥

Despite all the criticism, Darwin Núñez's advanced stats in the #PL this season are still very good! 👏

Compared to his positional peers, #LFC's No. 9 is one of the most active strikers OOP, can carry the ball forward & is deadly inside the box! 🔥

Gakpo proved again his added value to #LFC, as he created the most Expected Threat on #BRELIV, but Konaté deserves every credit as well! 👏

Salah created by far the most xT via carries, while Robertson stood out in terms of set-piece xT. 💪

Liverpool found it so hard to create high-quality chances when Brentford defend in a very compact & low block. 🧐

As this scene shows, TAA has the ball on the right wing but only Díaz is inside the box, compared to BRE's 5 players. 👇

Look at Kerkez's pizza chart, his numbers are excellent this season in the #PL! 🔥

Compared to his positional peers, he's one of the best FBs in terms of creating & crossing + his ball retention & box involvement are great too! 💪

Great fit to #LFC? 🤔

Jota's pizza chart at #LFC is absolutely incredible in the #PL this season! 🔥

Compared to the other CFs, he's among the very best in: box/final 3rd involvement, carry, creating, crossing, shot volume, interceptions, recoveries, tackling & defensive workrate. 💪

It is a huge honour to analyse the Barcelona-Real Betis match in the Copa del Rey! ⚽🙏🔥

Although Liverpool couldn't win vs NFO, they created more shots (23-6), SoT (7-3), xG (2.0-0.3) & big chances (4-1)! 📊

#LFC's pressing was sharp & aggressive in the 2nd half, they created many chances from high transitions + they finished the game with an 5.7 PPDA! 🔥

As the xT heatmaps show, Nuno Espírito Santo's Nottingham Forest created the most threat from the left side in the PL so far, while Arne Slot's #LFC use both half-spaces quite evenly to hurt their opponents. 🧐

Who'll win tonight? 🤔

As @anythinglfc.bsky.social tweeted: "According to @benbocsak.bsky.social, #LFC chief scout Barry Hunter is currently in Germany to discuss details of a potential transfer after successful talks with Tzimas' representatives were held last week."🔥

I've analysed which #LFC players created the most xT per 90 mins this season in the #PL (>225 minutes). 👇

🔴 TAA leads the ranking chart with 0.23 xT
🔴 Tsimikas created the most xT via set-plays
🔴 Salah, Díaz & Bradley has the most xT from carry

Szoboszlai had a brilliant game and showed again why he's a very complex & versatile player! 🔥

He arrived many times to the Zone 14, often positioned himself btw the lines, delivered a perfect pass to TAA at the 1st goal & dropped back btw the 2 CBs if needed! 👇

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is having an other great season at Napoli and based on his underlying numbers & his complex profile, he certainly would be a phenomenal signing for #LFC! 🔥

As @david-ornstein.bsky.social tweeted: "Liverpool could consider move to sign Khvicha Kvaratskhelia if leaves Napoli in Jan. #LFC not actively seeking winger but admire 23yo, alert to situation + may contend if becomes market opportunity." 🔥

He'd be a top signing! 👏

This time, I've analysed #LFC players' shot locations with the most attempts in the #PL. 👇

🔴 Salah has by far the most shots (69) & goals (18)
🔴 Díaz & Gakpo: 👏
🔴 TAA & Szoboszlai has many long-range shots
🔴 Jota likes to shoot from inside the box

Liverpool's pressing wasn't perfect vs TOT, but after the triple substitution (60th minute), #LFC had many high recoveries. 🧐

As this scene shows, LFC's man-to-man pressing (VVD stayed close to Solanke) caused some problems to TOT but the decision-making was poor. 👇

I've analysed #LFC players' ball recoveries heatmaps this season in the #PL (min. 225 mins), this is the result! 🔥

Konaté & Gomez covers the same area, Macca & Jones are quite incredible, while the Szoboszlai-Gakpo duo also deserves every credit! 👏

As #Szoboszlai's attacking pizza chart shows, he's a very complex profile at #LFC! 🔥

Compared to his positional peers in the PL this season (>30% game time), he's among the very best in: big chances, npxG, shot assists and shots per 90 minutes! 👏
