Been meaning to do this for a while but not got round to it, a public information thread on DUELS, particularly ground duels. They're being used more and more in the mainstream (which is good) but I don't think many understand the detail. Thread: 🧵

Liverpool 1 : 1 Chelsea ▪ xG: 0.55 - 0.56 ▪ xThreat: 0.93 - 0.8 ▪ Possession: 48.5% - 51.5% ▪ Field Tilt: 48.2% - 51.8% ▪ Def Action Height: 46.4 - 47.8

Everton 1 : 2 Liverpool ▪ Penbox shots: 7 - 7 ▪ Deep Entries: 12 - 11 ▪ Buildup completion: 76.1% - 83.7% ▪ PPDA: 11.6 - 10.2 ▪ High turnovers: 5 - 5

For context, City outran Chelsea by 8km today. Almost a whole player

Better attacking from #LFC today (mainly Rio) but completely overrun again. 1st half 52.8 vs 55.7 km 2nd half 55.5 v 60.0km 60km in a half is BIG from Fulham. 4.5km in a half = 1 player short. And we looked a player short with the eye test AND it shows in the expected threat race chart

Kvicha is so good. Probably my favourite non-LFC player. Outstanding composure

Ekitike tonight man....FFS

Could have done without a wicked deflection for the first goal....worked hard enough but hugo and flo dismal with the possession that came their way. Those 2 have to be light years better #lfc

Excellent game. Bayern deserved winners but maybe not as ruthless as they would have liked. Madrid improved a lot after the subs.

Being able to bring on Musiala is a bit unfair

Bayern the better team in every department. Well worth their lead and maybe should be 2 ahead. Real flaky at the back making some crazy passing choices and the forwards are only playing for themselves

Trent vs Luis makes me sad

A lesson in being ruthless today. We were pretty good for 40 mins, arguably the better team. Hugo should score, Salah has an easy square ball for a wirtz tap in. Then City absolutely clinical after we give away the pen. Salah missing his pen summed it up. #lfc

Plenty to like at 0-0 (wirtz positioning, jones as 3rd buildup option) but we simply have to take one of those big chances. But once city got ahead they took over #lfc

With help like this its hard to see *any* team being able to beat PSG over 2 legs in the coming years, especially an English one. PSG revised schedule 👇

Absolutely. Just updated them to the latest games: Arsenal - more distance in 27/27, avg 114.84 vs 110.57 opposition City - 22/27, 115.72 vs 112.17 LFC (which you obviously have) 2/27, 109.07 vs 113.04 Pretty consistent opposition numbers against all 3, the big outlier being our effort.

This is an incredibly inefficient way of attacking. So, we ask, are long throws a waste of everyone's time? theanalyst.com/articles/pre...

There have been 1,179 long throws into the opposition box in Premier League games this season. Those have brought about just 24 goals - or one goal every 49 long throws. Matches are also being delayed for an average of 10 minutes, 42 seconds just for throw-ins to be taken.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... People of Iran, rise up! And to help you we are going to...destroy all your critical civilian infrastructure! Seriously how long before the Mad Orange King threatens to nuke Tehran in the name of peace?

I really really dont want the industrial scale cheats to win anything but fuck me, Arsenal make it so difficult to get behind them. They are absolutely dismal, just a very expensive version of Pulis-ball

25% possession 2nd half

Its like the 2nd half of our game at Arsenal, they can't even get over halfway

A dull half but it still exceeded my expectations #carabaocup

On Danny Welbeck's second goal for Brighton against Liverpool. This time it was Liverpool's turn to concede a goal when the attacker was onside due to the in-built 5cm tolerance level.

Crikey, what a week for Newcastle 🙈

Brighton 2 : 1 Liverpool ▪ Penbox shots: 11 - 10 ▪ Deep Entries: 12 - 15 ▪ Buildup completion: 80.4% - 78.6% ▪ PPDA: 8.8 - 9.5 ▪ High turnovers: 3 - 6
