Course I don’t. Although you’ll be surprised how big and serious their data team is.

I hope you're joking because they're shite. It's ratings based on reputation in most cases rather than actual skill.
The approach from Kieran McKenna will surely be the same as their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal where they retreated into a low block and soaked up pressure. They've surprisingly done that in most of their away games this season.
Liverpool have got into double figures for corners won against Southampton, Leicester, Wolves, Brentford and in the away fixture with Ipswich.

His movement and finishing are very good but Newcastle often play on the counter against teams that don't sit in low blocks.
He's fantastic for them. Don't think there's enough evidence to conclude whether he'd be as effective leading our attack, but he's definitely got quality.
I like what he can do with little space to play in and how powerful his shooting is. A mixture of Mo and Nunez perhaps !
This honestly has banana-skin written all over it. These guys will have been agonising over every mistake. It is never easy playing a team straight after a pummelling. Mark my words, this will be tough. I'd snatch yer arm off for 1-0 to the reds right now.
If we could just make this relatively stress free, that'd be neat.
I'll take whatever though.

This would indeed be classic Liverpool.
I’m currently planning tomorrow’s shirt.
I have old faithful, which is a 96 home shirt. Only seen wins at Anfield.
Considering my new Gravenberch Netherlands shirt. However my boi Momo wore his same shirt to United so my jinx alarm is going off.
When did SCM become a homestead infested with fannies..
Tomorrow goes a little like this, we're Liverpool.....they're Ipswich. We're the best mother fucking team on the planet, they're a bunch of nobodies.
It's Anfield & they're getting absolutely smashed to smithereens.

Ill be there!
Yeh I kinda agree, in that we don’t have a mega clinical striker. But, maybe we’re not set up that way. Maybe we have a system that keeps the ball and makes more chances, but it depends on having players that play in such a way that they’re better at creating lots of chances but not mega clinical. We’ve scored the most goals this season.
Dunno…
I think this may be right. The average conversion rate for a top striker is about 20% so it's not like our attackers are miles behind, they just need a couple more chances. Most people seem to think they should be scoring from 50% 😛
FYI : Haaland's conversion rate is 18.4%
is it? I was only including PL when i did found the stat
I don't overly buy the low block defence against conversion stats. Equally our players are shooting like meffs from range. Our forwards (like other forwards do), sometimes choose the poor option. It's human nature, and is what it is. Ideally we need to be combining big chances missed and conversion rate.
So Salah has missed 14 big chances, Jota 8, Diaz 6, Gakpo 5, Szob 5, Jones 3, Nunez 3. Overall in the league we've missed out on 55 goals apparently. Obviously no one expects every one of these should be a goal, but lets say 20% are converted. Thats 11 goals. But even then, thats potentially harsh.
Based on stats we're underperforming our xG by 5, and overperforming our xGA by just over 1. So in reality our defence is doing better than in should be and our forwards are doing worse. Salah is outperforming his xG by sheer amount of chances he gets and scoring some low quality chances.

5 goals may not seem like much; but when you think they should have come in games where we battered the opposition and didn't get the 3 points (i.e notts H&A, maybe united at home, or fulham at home); it could have made a huge difference.
I'm not suggesting a clinical 9 fixes every issuer or makes us an 100% invincible side; we just would manage with certain threat easier
Yep I’ve seen a few people expecting this from Salah every game and getting mad when he doesn’t 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
16 % 🤔
Imagine being pissed off and expecting more of Salah this season in terms of conversion rates.
Top goal scorer in England
Top assists
Broken the record for most games with a goal and assist in a season before Xmas
A bucket load of big chances created
Liverpool top of the league
Liverpool top of the CL group
Liverpool still in both domestic cups
Fucking hell Salah lift your game!
Some people don’t deserve Salah.

Some people don’t deserve Salah.
But does he waste more than his fair share of chances? Does he snatch at efforts when the lay off is the better option?
People have every right to ask these questions Pat and still be grateful he's here. Its not like some religion where it's blind, unconsidered faith. People are allowed (and arguably should) question
Expectations being higher on those that earn the most? Who could’ve predicted that?
I'm afraid this is annoyingly unlikely.
