At a loss for how imperious Gravenberch has been this season. What a leap forward. Maybe these folks running the team know what they’re doing?

Ryan Gravenberch today: 93% pass accuracy 9x possession won 9 duels won 7 tackles 4 interceptions The first #LFC player on record with numbers that high in each of those categories in a Premier League game.

Slightly hilarious

Arsenal have created an open play expected goal in one of their last eight Premier League matches. Across the season as a whole it's three of 15. They rank 13th in the Premier League for open play xG.

Mohamed Salah has now scored AND assisted in more Premier League games than any other player in the competition’s history (37). 👑

Pep’s plan to deny Virgil the ball in the build-up phase completely backfired on him—you already have to “carry” Haaland to a certain extent, so when he’s shadowing Van Dijk while Gomez is spraying passes around like Pirlo, he becomes even more of a defensive liability.

Normally I can't stand the overly-sporting kicking the ball out of a play because an opposition player went down. But then I saw who it was. Story of his career, breaks my heart.

Gets a completely different whistle than every other player in the league and the data has always backed it up. Great work from Andrew.

Mohamed Salah recently suffered his 168th Premier League foul since the summer of 2018, meaning he has finally passed the total Jack Grealish suffered in 2019/20 alone.

#LFC have one of the best centre-back pairings in the Premier League this season, if not in the world. Aerially, they are one of the most efficient in the league. Konate has won 82.35% of his aerial duels this season while Van Dijk has won 71.15%.

Some shots from last December’s trip to Liverpool. 1) Eleanor wasn’t into me 2) Behind enemy lines 3) A lil pre-match Homebaked 4) Arsenal (H) and a masterclass from Ibou

Luis Diaz has 37 Shot-Creating Actions in the current Premier League season. 5.13 per 90 (!) On the opposite flank, Salah has 46. 4.3 per 90. For me, the data + the film show that Diaz has been better supported than he was for large periods of 23/24. Looked really isolated at times last season.

Liverpool lead the Premier League in total Progressive Passing Distance (31,284 yards). That's 2106 yards more than Spurs in 2nd (29,178 yards) despite having only attempted 9 more passes.

Incredible stat in The Athletic last week: Slot has subbed 57 times from a winning position this year and all 57 subs have ended up on the winning team.
