"OptaJoe: 31 - Maxi Rodríguez has created more scoring opportunities for team-mates than any other player without any of them being netted. Spurned."

Serves him right for missing all the open goals we create for him.

But Spurs have Lennon and Bale WTF??? :laugh:

 

[Fabio]

i don't remember us scoring 9 goals from crosses

 

[Glock21]

So to summarize, Lucas is one of the best midfielder around in the Premiership. Good.

 

[Judge Jules]

Either that or the relevance of raw stats is extremely limited when it comes to making such judgments. I know which seems more plausible to me.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Nani has more shots off target than any player this season

His bedroom/toilet antics/performance aren't our concern!

The average age of the Liverpool XI across a full season had never exceeded 26.5 in the Premier League era, but jumped to 28 in Hodgson’s 21 league games. (Yes, players get a year older each year, but that’s why pruning is essential; in six years under Benítez, it ranged from 26 in 2004/05 to its highest, 26.5, four seasons later.)

Hodgson’s own signings averaged 30 years of age, and that also happens to be the average age of the Fulham side he bequeathed Mark Hughes. What was the average age of the side Kenny put out against Wolves? – 26.3.

The side that ended the match averaged 24.27 yo.

Reina 28
Robinson 17
Skrtel 26
Kyrgiakos 31
Flanagan 18
Meireles 28
Lucas 24
Spearing 22
Suarez 24
Kuyt 30
Shelvey 19
24.27

 

[Judge Jules]

24.27 does look much healthier, yo. 😉

If there was a mini league table with the prems top 6 teams i'm sure we'd be top having great results with them.. ???

 

[Judge Jules]

We'd be well within the CL places if we'd played like this all season. Yesterday's game would have been a real six-pointer in the title race.

 

[King Binny]

Liverpool have scored in their last 15 PL games, the best run of any side in the competition this season.

Liverpool have made more tackles (796) than any other team in the Premier League.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Liverpool has screwed up the title hopes of the top 4 teams more than anyone this season.*

*unfortunately one has recovered better than others.

 

[King Binny]

Liverpool have scored at least 3 goals in their last four PL home games, their best such run since May 2009.

Leighton Baines has delivered more successful crosses (63) than any other PL player this season.

The three outfield players who have played every min of Premier League action this season are Hangeland, Baines & Skrtel.

0:30 - Maxi Rodriguez's goal v Fulham is the fastest PL goal of the season at 30 secs, beating Javier Hernandez's yesterday (0:36)

14 - Cheik Tiote has become the first player to be given 14 yellow cards in a single PL season since Robbie Savage in 2001/02.

18% - Since Fernando Torres left the club, Liverpool have posted the best chance conversion rate in the Premier League.

Number of times each side has hit the woodwork this season:

21: Arsenal
20: Chelsea
18: Aston Villa, Stoke City, West Ham
14: Tottenham
13: Man City, Wolves
12: West Brom
11: Man Utd
10: Blackpool. Liverpool, Newcastle
9: Birmingham, Sunderland
8: Blackburn, Fulham
7: Bolton, Everton, Wigan

Premier League table if hitting the woodwork counted as a goal:

Team P W D L F A GD Pts
1. Arsenal 36 27 5 4 90 42 48 86
2. Man Utd 36 23 7 6 84 44 40 76
3. Chelsea 36 22 8 6 87 40 47 74
4. Liverpool 36 20 2 14 69 46 23 62
5. Man City 36 16 11 9 68 45 23 59
6. Tottenham 36 14 15 7 65 56 9 57

Players to have hit the woodwork the most often this season:

SIX: Didier Drogba, Kenwyne Jones
FIVE: Frederic Piquionne
FOUR: Ashley Young, Chris Brunt, Stewart Downing, Nani, Seb Larsson, Robin van Persie

 

[King Binny]

82 – Only four players created more goalscoring chances in the 2010/11 PL season than Sunderland’s Jordan Henderson (82).

The four to create more scoring chances than Henderson were Malouda (117), K Davies (91), Brunt (86) and Downing (85).

Seems like stats do play a part in our scouting. 2 of our reported targets (make it 3 if Brunt's included) - 1 (Henderson) to be signed, are in the top 5.

 

[King Binny]

00:32 - Maxi Rodriguez's goal against Fulham after 32 seconds was the fastest in the 2010-11 Premier League.

101:48 - Dirk Kuyt's penalty against Arsenal at the Emirates was the latest goal in the 2010-11 Premier League.

74 - If AVFC had not dropped any points from winning positions, they would have finished 2nd, five points behind Man Utd.

 

[King Binny]

How reliant the 20 Premier League teams were on corner goals during 2010-11

 

[Fabio]

we scored from 5 corners??

 

[Ijg]

Since when did we ever do ANYTHING from a fucking corner?!

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Won our first European Cup?

 

[Ijg]

This season then smartarse.

The only surprise here is that we are not rock bottom.
