I posited a version of this process when they appointed him... to be fair to INEOS, they are definitely getting through the steps more quickly each season. A kind of marginal gain, I guess.

Step 3 ☑️

#EPL XG table since the start of November

Can't recall an #EPL midweek night like this before

Liverpool 0 : 0 Leeds ▪ Penbox shots: 11 - 3 ▪ Deep Entries: 15 - 3 ▪ Buildup completion: 85.7% - 66.9% ▪ PPDA: 7.3 - 19.6 ▪ High turnovers: 7 - 4

Liverpool 0 : 0 Leeds ▪ xG: 1.77 - 0.17 ▪ xThreat: 1.72 - 0.63 ▪ Possession: 68.2% - 31.8% ▪ Field Tilt: 79.8% - 20.2% ▪ Def Action Height: 58.9 - 38.1

CJ being subbed had a big impact on us. Mac has been well and truly space jammed and is a long way below CJ now. Frimpong a huge positive tho, both in attack and defence with some excellent recovery sprints. But overall 2 points dropped #lfc

Have done enough to be ahead. Just need to keep knocking on the door. CJ is making the leap in front of our eyes, he's now the hub of the team, dictating everything. And Frimpong is gonna be a huge player for us...once Mo leaves #lfc

Kicked in the head...no yellow card

Frimpong's acceleration from a standing start is outrageous. Would love to see him vs Mane over the first 5 metres #lfc

Big spine in this XI. I particularly like that athletic midfield. Leave frimpong and wirtz in the centre circle defending set plays. No DCL for Leeds is interesting #lfc

theanalyst.com/articles/liv... really, really good post from Opta Analyst looking at #LFC vs set pieces. Essential reading

Liverpool 2 : 1 Wolves ▪ Penbox shots: 11 - 4 ▪ Deep Entries: 18 - 5 ▪ Buildup completion: 88.5% - 79.2% ▪ PPDA: 7.4 - 16.7 ▪ High turnovers: 1 - 5

Liverpool 2 : 1 Wolves ▪ xG: 1.81 - 0.57 ▪ xThreat: 2.01 - 0.96 ▪ Possession: 65.9% - 34.1% ▪ Field Tilt: 77.5% - 22.5% ▪ Def Action Height: 48.3 - 37.3

Some PL running stats available on the BBC Sport Website and App! A most excellent use of my license fee 😀

On the positive side, #lfc had the worst big chance conversion in the PL after Sunderland, scoring just 12 goals from 42 total (29%) Scored 6 of 9 in the PL since Leeds and 7 of last 11 in all comps. Take your chances and results follow shocker.

As fans its maddening. But we all watched alisson, a senior pro who has won *everything*, take a goal kick long in injury time, giving the ball straight back to spurs. How else do you explain that if its not confidence and the legacy of losing 8 games in 11? #lfc

Spurs 1 : 2 Liverpool ▪ Penbox shots: 11 - 6 ▪ Deep Entries: 6 - 11 ▪ Buildup completion: 76.3% - 88.4% ▪ PPDA: 14.2 - 9.8 ▪ High turnovers: 3 - 2

Spurs 1 : 2 Liverpool ▪ xG: 1.26 - 1.06 ▪ xThreat: 0.87 - 1.67 ▪ Possession: 34.8% - 65.2% ▪ Field Tilt: 28.8% - 71.2% ▪ Def Action Height: 46.9 - 51.5

Great result but the team is still so low on confidence, just cannot react well to setbacks. We aren't out of the woods yet #lfc

We've been better at cutting out the stupid mistakes and then virg does a fresh air shot 🙈

Dominant header! Classic centre forward goal from Hugo #lfc

That looks like a really severe injury 😭

Low quality, low event cautious half. Definite red. The good news is we have plenty of attacking options on the bench but we'll have to really step it up to win #lfc

Disgusting challenge. Could easily have caused serious injury to virg

Breakthrough performance for Ekitike and #lfc yesterday. We've never seen this level of involvement by a CF under Slot before. 78 mins 49 touches, 12 in box 30 passes, 7 shots

Every Bills game is box office. Mandatory viewing

Liverpool 2 : 0 Brighton ▪ xG: 2.33 - 1.78 ▪ xThreat: 1.56 - 1.68 ▪ Possession: 50.0% - 50.0% ▪ Field Tilt: 45.8% - 54.2% ▪ Def Action Height: 40.6 - 49.8

Liverpool 2 : 0 Brighton ▪ Penbox shots: 9 - 10 ▪ Deep Entries: 20 - 16 ▪ Buildup completion: 86.9% - 90.3% ▪ PPDA: 14.2 - 9.7 ▪ High turnovers: 3 - 3

Salah vs Brighton the 4th story on news at 10 even tho we won...WTAF... END THIS FUCKING CIRCUS #LFC

Tallest, most physical team possible. Again. Its not rocket science #lfc

A useful benchmark

Not sure BlueSky will be able to handle the Cody v Sadio v Bobby #LFC career Goal Involvement numbers if I post them 🙃 The Aussies have an old saying about their cricketers: it's not how, it's how many.

Yup 19th for Pens Conceded 15th for errors Penalty balance is -3 for the season (PL+CL) #lfc

Non-Penalty XG is still the single best indicator of team quality. Penalties are removed because they are random. 9 games Everton to Palace 1.89 NPXG 1.46 NPXGA 0.43 NPXGD 9 games villa to inter 1.51 NPXG 0.73 NPXGA 0.78 NPXGD #lfc

Cody gakpo start of 24/25 to now Vs Sadio Mane 18/19 to 19/20 Vs Bobby firmino 17/18 to 18/19 #EPL only #lfc

More like this please Next abolish the Lords to get the Workers Rights Bill passed.

Mo Salah v Cody Gakpo #EPL 25/26 #lfc

The away end singing Slot's name in the San Siro. Not the first time across recent weeks. That's hugely significant. #LFC

Clarence Seedorf has a career at the UN if he wants it. What a guy

So going back to my amateur scribble from August..... A variation of 4D2 was the only thing that made sense to me after the summer window We played 4D2 tonight So step 1, mo apologises to the squad for the hand grenade Step 2, mo accepts that 4D2 is the plan and plays a role in it #lfc

VVD: Me and Mo will speak. But it will be in private. As it should be #lfc

Inter 0 : 1 Liverpool ▪ xG: 0.61 - 1.36 ▪ xThreat: 1.06 - 1.1 ▪ Possession: 49.8% - 50.2% ▪ Field Tilt: 54.0% - 46.0% ▪ Def Action Height: 45.4 - 54.5

Andy Robbo: "we are all together. That's the main thing" #lfc

A classic European away performance. Up the street fighting Reds! #lfc

Somehow uefa var has ended up worse than the epl... Just give the ibou goal and dont give the wirtz pen #lfc
