Charlie Adam admits he does not look like a long-distance runner bur he is Liverpool's hardest working midfielder. The Scot has run 78.27 miles in 12 Premier League matches. Lucas (71.43 miles) has covered the next furthest distance.
Adam has only been out-run by Aaron Ramsey (81.68 miles) and Yaya Toure (79.1 miles) when compared with the midfielders of Arsenal, Spurs, Man City, Man Utd and Liverpool. He has run on average 6.52 miles per game.
107 - Luis Suárez is the only Premier League player to have made 100+ touches in the opposition penalty area this season.
Since the defeat at Tottenham, LFC have won six away games in a row, by a combined score of 12-3.
It’s important to remember that Spearing’s statistics came from matches where he played alongside Lucas, rather than as a direct replacement, so his role would be slightly different now to how he was asked to play last season.
It’s interesting to note that for 60% of Lucas’ passes go forward, when naysayers have accused him in the past of playing every pass backwards to improve his stats. Instead it is Spearing who favours the safety first approach more often with his passing.
23 - Liverpool have the same points as they had in 2009-10 & 4 more than the 19 they'd accrued after 14 games in 2010-11.
12 - Liverpool have hit the woodwork more often than any team this term in the PL & no player has hit it more than S.Downing (3). (11 when Henderson hit it in the first half, 12 when Downing hit the post in the second half.)
Liverpool's tally of 17 goals is the third lowest in their Premier League history after 14 matches (15 - 2006/07 & 16 - 2010/11).
68 - Luis Suarez has won more fouls than any other player in the Premier League since making his Liverpool debut.
Of all players to have scored three or more PL goals this season, Luis Suárez has the lowest shot conversion rate (7.7%).
Liverpool would be 6 pts behind Man City, rather than 15, if all PL woodwork strikes had been goals.
