[article]Only Middlesbrough (18) committed more fouls than Liverpool's 17 in their 1-1 draw at home to Stoke City.
Klopp's men ranked a reasonable 11th for tackle success with 37 per cent, however their overall duel success rate of 41 per cent had them as low as 17th of all 20 clubs with just West Brom, Leicester City and Middlesbrough performing worse.
Liverpool's total of 33 successful defensive actions (Interceptions, blocks and clearances) was also only enough to place them 17th overall. Only Leicester, Bournemouth and Chelsea made fewer.
Southampton were the only side in the league to fail to register a single block in their 1-1 draw at home against Watford. Liverpool's one block placed the reds down in 19th overall.
While aerially, the Reds were unconvincing, winning just 32 per cent of their duels in the air, the worst success rate in the league. The six interceptions that they recorded was again the lowest of all the Premier League sides.
The stats clearly show that despite Mignolet insisting Liverpool dealt with Arsenal's attacking threat, the numbers paint a very different picture.[/article]
